Installation notes

Yes — the AWD manual transmission from a 1997–2001 Honda CR-V (RD1), with the Integra's B-series engine and a CR-V or Civic Wagon rear driveline, fits a 1994–2001 Acura Integra (DC2) with AWD engine mounts, a rear differential mount kit and AWD conversion axles. Hasport's DC2AWD kit is for a B-series engine with the 3-bolt left-hand bracket and the CR-V AWD manual transmission in the 94–01 Integra. Innovative Mounts' rear differential mount kit covers the DC Integra, and Driveshaft Shop lists its AWD conversion rear axles for the 94–01 Integra.

Required modifications

Engine/transmission mounts: Hasport DC2AWD (B-series engine with 3-bolt left-hand bracket and CR-V AWD manual transmission in the 94-01 Integra and 92-95 Civic; includes rear bracket EGRBAWD). Engines with a 2-bolt bracket use EGBAWD, which Hasport also lists for the 94-01 Integra. Rear differential: Innovative Mounts AWD rear diff mount kit 103360 for the 92-95 Civic and 94-01 Integra (88-91 Wagon or Element/CR-V rear differential; rear subframe notching and rivnuts). Axles: Driveshaft Shop AWD B-series conversion axles (510077) are rear axles, listed for the 94-01 Integra and built for the 88-91 Wagon/Shuttle 25-spline rear differential. Front axles are not covered by the listed sources.

Caution

Important caveats

  • This is a full AWD conversion: the rear subframe has to be notched and the rear differential, driveshaft and viscous coupler need mounting points, not just engine mounts.
  • Innovative's rear differential kit uses rivnuts (13.5mm or 17/32 in drill) and recommends welding the brackets for high-power use.
  • Driveshaft Shop's conversion axles are built for the 88-91 Civic Wagon/Shuttle 25-spline rear differential with 23-spline outers and hubs; other setups need custom axles.
  • Fuel tank, exhaust, parking brake and rear suspension packaging are not covered by any single kit listed here.
  • Hasport's DC2AWD page says '94-01 CRV' in one place and '97-01 CRV' in another; the CR-V AWD manual gearbox (SBXM) is from the first-generation 1997-2001 CR-V, so treat 97-01 as correct.
