> [@EpicTuning](#): > > As some of you remember we had a '91 EF hatch with a stock Z6 engine making 375whp @ 24psi. At this power level it ran 11.41 @121MPH. Since then we had turned it up some more. It made 390WHP with a slipping clutch @26psi. We changed the clutch and ran it at the track @ 28-30psi. The car ran 11.3@127mph. We couldn’t run anymore because the car had no roll cage. Instead of turning it into a drag car we and the owner decided to go in a different direction. We wanted to make it all wheel drive, work through the problems and have a reliable 4WD civic for the street. We converted the car to Real Time 4WD from a '89 Civic Wagovan. We used the transmission, axles, driveshaft, viscous coupling, rear differential and subframe. The clutch is a ACT 4 pad disc and Heavy Duty pressure plate. So far at 24psi the drivetrain is holding up great. We have a couple hundred miles and 40+ tire chirping launches without a problem. We will keep putting it through its paces and see what, if anything, breaks. We will have video up shorty along with new all wheel dyno numbers. > > This is what a 400 HP stock SOHC bottom end looks like :o > > Oil pan clearanced for transfer case. > > Trans mount needed to be raised 1" > > Viscous coupler mounted > > Rear diff mount > > New manifold.

yeah, something is going to break. i am also under the impression those only put like 15% of the power to the rear wheels. it would be cool to see this stand up though ---

it may not stand up to much but if people start doing it with more regularity hopefully and aftermarket company would step up and make some beefier parts ---
