RT4WD FOUR DOOR SECDAN ---- Questions

in Engine & Drivetrain
I was wondering what info you Wagoneers had on what it takes to convert a 4dr sedan 88-91 into a wagons RT4WD

I am really interested in either getting a REALLY clean straight wagon I want to see how much WHP it takes to brake the 4WD drvie train lol :D

I assume it would be like adding the RT4WD system to a FWD wagon. Same chassis isn't it? They have or had a RT4WD sedan in Japan so I have read somewhere.

I have also heard in Japan and Europe they had RTi4WD wagons and sedans, that had Limited-splip ( I believe they called it something else, not true Limit slip perhaps, but performs same function, I don't know really )
Is this true, and how hard-impossible is that to find.. I assume rare::((

So what I am looking for is either a RT4WD clean straight but screwed up drive train wagon, or a trashed wagon RT4WD hit/rusted/dented ripped up pissed in but still drives straight down the road, and can stop and turn. Just not legal for the road.

If anyone has one of these or perhaps you crazy wagoneers know how to do mad good search on civic wagon RT4WD .. I have search somewhat, but nothing I have found is rt what I want.

I am NW Washington, this is where they sold RT4WD civic back in the late eighties got to be some out here. But where?

    if it were me and i wanted to convert a sedan i would find an rt4wd wagon and cut the rear floor pans out of both cars and drop it in. but then again i would never do this i would jsut go buy a clean good running wagon and go from there. im about to turbo my RT it should lay down about 200-220whp at most with the current set-up. if i remember correctly the 4wds are good up to about 220hp but i am very hard on cars so we'll see..... wagons are out here u just gotta wait for the right one to pop-up. keep hunting autotrader.com cragslist.com and u might get lucky and find one on ebay.

    Yeah I want a wagon... I just love the 4drs also...
    I like hb also...
    And accords
    and integras
    crv's
    HONDA ACURA :D

    yeah I am trying to keep my eye out.. Problem is I want one more that I have money for one.. So I am kind of interested in a beater RT4WD that I can beef up the drive train and then drive it like I stole it.
    Get a $500 beater that looks like crap,, and drive it like its a race car.

    So people can think WTF does that wagon think he is. Little will they know I have a turbo ZC under the hood..

    I dreams... I just hope it will become a reality....... I will let you all know as soon as I get one, and keep a blog of my Wagoneering.

    Hey is there any other forums/website about the wagons besides here?

    In japan, RT4wd was available on a limited number of 4 door sedans.

    Read about it here:

    ...use a translator.

    Does this mean everything is a swappable and easy? Probably not. Especially with your budget.

    Hey guys,

    Im new to the board, and thought this would be a good place to introduce myself, seeing that i dont particularly fit in here lol.

    The reason i joined up is because of the rareness of the 4wd sedan, so i was look towards the more popular wagons to get information :)

    Sorry to jack the thread, but i felt it wrong to post my own thread (a seda on a wagon forum lol)..On a side note, and towards the original poster, changing the regular FF sedans to 4wd would be rediculously hard.

    mr_sp33 Welcome to the board. Stop being a Hermit! Im glad you posted this. Your car is a example of what this board can offer to the enthusiasts as far as the 4wd train is concerned. The more 4wd model cars we get on here the more we can evolve and provide necessary information and help to others around the world.
    Two Big thumbs up for you and your Super rare ride!!!!!!!

    Hey SP33 you better start your own thread man because your ride is sweet. Definately rare. If they had those here in Germany I would pick it up quick. I had a chance to buy a 94 civic 4 dr 4wd and missed out.

    There are a lot of NON-honda cars in the member's rides section. I have a S13 Nissan in there so yours suits this site way more than mine. Don't hesitate and post those pics up man.

    NICE NICE NICE NICE RIDE!!!!
