Yeah that’s what I recalled as well.
I can see how it could be cool to be out of the box and get some brownie points for that, but from a performance stand point it’s not beneficial, hence why it’s a very rare swap.
When normal FWD setup can hook up a 1.6 sec 60’ but not have the extra weight kicking around there is simply no point. All that money spend on the AWD swap can be just spend on getting another 100whp.
The E/T seemed right on with a regular FWD setup making the same power as well.
CRV’s rear axles are pencil sticks, I believe their split is very similar with maybe a tenth of the power going to the back. Trying to transfer any serious power to the rear will only end up making you FWD again as you snap them off :lol
