Happy new year my unknown friend I really appreciate 🙏 wat you do, you help out alot of people that's getting into the awd game
Love to see you make a video showing the torque split again on the dyno. Seeing the viscous coupler in slow mo gives me the impression its worth it than sourcing from the other wagon civics. Its brand new too!
Awesome work brother thanks for the info
I really like it! Perfect for my 99 crv
Sick Nice and detail video 😁
That parts looks great, no need to weld the clutch pack. Also the propeller is solid no need to look for freelander viscous coupler or stock viscous coupler Awd of honda (hard to find)
Hi, friend. That work you did looks excellent, I would like a 2002 crv for me, a question, what works in the turns at low speed and at high speed, does it not feel strange doing that work?
Pros and cons of this vs the ramp clutch you took out? Some crv forums were saying the ramp clutch stands up better in a longterm usage because of lower heat. Really didn't know what to Google because I don't know the right questions to ask.

This will handle more power vs the dual pump, this is what Honda used to use but then went with the dual pump for fuel economy

Have you had anyone running both VC and a modified ramped differential?
18 dec 2023 5:47 am est ( utc - 5 ) : thanks . just-now i finish seeing this movie .
Awesome
With this VC can we see see a 50 50 power transfer to the rear? Looking forward to the dyno

The Honda AWD doesn't work like that, it will be 50/50 until the rear vc slips
Hai and hello my friend,thanks for this knowledgable video..I never know the clutch can be replace with somethin else and looks much better..and Im so interested to find one for my 97 crv...may I know what is the item names and where can I get it..thank you.
So if you do this you do not need a wagovan viscous and don't need to pin the clutch pack? Does this make it so all 4 wheels spin all the time instead of just when the front wheels slip

I'm doing a j2k in my rd1 crv and using a 09 element trans and diff. Would this be useful if I was just daily driving it and driving rough dirt roads with some decent hills.

With this would it be possible to run a Oem driveshaft like a element since they have a similar length

I know am late to the party🎉 but as far as daily driving and some track use like drag and auto cross would this unit hold up with the addition of a gear x pinion and gear and the motor setup for trubo and 500hp and 390 torque if not what would u recommend if you where run this set up and wanted and awd set for 1998 civic coupe

You need to do more research on what a viscous coupler does and how to retrofit one with a crv diff because I can't answer your question until you understand more how these systems work
Are you able to change the fluid for better lock up etc

Yes, it currently has 60k fluid but you can use 100k but you will break parts easier
Hey Red, so say if i get this gear x Viscous Coupler does it matters if i use it on an element differential or will using it on the Crv still be better?

Was about to run out and buy one, but for $2500 I can do any number of entire diff assemblies, have my driveshaft modded, and have money left over for an lsd up front. Really excited this is out there, but I hope cheaper options are available soon. Having a clean stealth OEM install is my favorite part. I'm sure it will be worth it to many people for that alone.

I think your confused on what this is, do your research on what viscous couplers are available for a honda that are rebuildable and have 60k fluid
Do automatics need viscous coupler or are they only needed in manual transmissions?

@@GravyBuilt I saw another one of your videos and I got it mixed up. If I understand correctly, you removed the clutch packs and pump to install the VC in the front of the housing, and in another video, you simply replaced the stock crv diff with a gear x diff... and these are the only mods/upgrades performed when rebuilding these things, correct?
