Hey, I'm Devin and this is a channel about a '92 Honda Civic. Driving, building, and DIY on one of the most loved, hated, and modified chassis of all time, the EG. Built right here in my garage and driven hard, this car gets put through the ringer on the street, track and even the dyno.
We walk through the build process, common and not-so-common mods, technical how to's, successes and failures, setup testing, and the real reason behind it all....driving.
The car has been with me nearly a decade and it's been through many fun iterations along the way. But as any car nerd enthusiast knows, you get to a point where you realize...the deeper you go, the less you know. So we're just getting started.
Thanks for tuning in! Subscribe and share the channel with a friend!
See you on the streets!

I have 2020 with them frozen. I did not go hard enough for the "pop," but they are slightly different. Thanks for the video, and if anyone knows more about the 2020, please let us know!
Cool bro nice job 👍🚘🚀🔥🐐⛽️👍💯💪♥️
Appreciated!
@@kawdzilla 🤜🤛
Was that Costco pricing accurate?
Sure was.
Nice
your birdy is wrong. non costco tire balance is $30 each.. costco tire is free
It was indeed $5 each, just like birdy said. Might depend on location.
FYI the heaviest part of the wheel is not always the valve stem. I have my own tire machine and balancer. I spin the wheel without the tire and mark the heavy spot, sometimes its over 90 degrees from the stem and sometimes its right on it. I always match the heavy spot to the light spot and the wheels take very little weight and drive perfect at every speed.
Great point, if you have a tire machine and balancer this video isn't really relevant. I'd love to have that setup.
@@kawdzilla Took me years but I finally broke down and bought one a few year ago, totally worth it..
Keep pushing bro. Doing a great job. Wish I could drive mine! ❤ New sub!
Thanks man! Appreciate you
you are treating the gas pedal like an on off switch.
Perks of AWD. When you have all the traction you use all the pedal.
I used just the "electrical" part and unscrewed it from the lock assy. An OEM switch from an EK is available and fit my 92 Si
You're referring to the little audible dinger switch?
@@kawdzilla No sir...the actual ignition switch at the bottom of the steering lock assy. The lock assy is discontinued in the US, you can get em from Japan, probly, on ebay... but the OEM switch portion from an EK bolts up and worked. It's alot easier, and you keep your matching key to doors.
The springy action you feel in start position is actually in the white and black plastic switch assy.
@@boostismagic oh yes, I'm tracking. That's a good option. My door lock cylinders are getting replaced soon anyway since they're basically unusable, so matching wasn't a concern for me at least.
@@kawdzilla 👍 Gotta get creative on these parts now..also just fitted a heater valve from an Odyssey. same valve as ours, but ave to re-use Civic bracket and the little throw lever that the cable attaches to. The OEM one is cheaper than the aftermarket which most have bad reviews. Race car may not need heater either, 😅
I want to formally recognize the oil pump in that engine 🙌🏻 The B series was holding it!
That B series was fast as hell. Excellent driver and definitely out braking me in the corners.
@@kawdzilla is that just an OEM k20 oil pump?
@@boostismagic yep.
Thank for the info
Go to headlight revolution. com and order the csp mini led bulbs. They fit perfectly in stock headlight assembly and the dust covers go back on. Adjustment still works properly and no cutting needed. That was stupid!
How to remove those pieces? Do you have a video?
Top strip just pulls out. Side pieces, pull from the inside edge and squeeze outwards and pull away from the glass, then up. If you're not trying to save them, just yank em out, the clips will probably break anyway if they're old and brittle.
Yooo what wheels do you have on there before the swap?
They're old Enkei wheels 15x6.5, similar to the current J10. Not made anymore I don't think.
As a tire shop worker. I give you props for mounting these very stiff tires 🤝
Appreciate it! Knocked off some rust making this one lol.
yo that looked like a struggle, good job. it's worth noting that this will be easier for people with everyday tires that have softer sidewalls
Thank you sir. Very true. Setting the bead with the air compressor will be more difficult with a flimsy sidewall tire however.
haha nice job man
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it.
Gears are long as hell on that crv trans for the track lol but what’s your awd setup ? Stock element driveshaft ? Stock crv diff ? And who’s trailing arms and diff mount did you get, I’m about to swap my dc2
They are indeed. At least it’s got an LSD. Wagon parts all around. VC rebuilt by Trustfab, stock diff, custom rear driveshaft, modified stock front shaft, both completely redone with 1310 u-joints. S1 Alpha arms, FCS diff mount, insane shaft swap axles all around.
@@kawdzilla oh damn that’s overkill for na you should boost it
@@Gameworldplus1 rather start with overkill than have to fix it later when it’s boosted.
@@kawdzilla oh 100% I thought you were staying na
@@Gameworldplus1 Just taking my time, enjoying the simplicity of NA for now.
the only acceptable sound track in a garage in 2024
Truly, nothing else works lol
Great wheel and tire choice. Looking forward to the next track session with this setup 🔥 🔥 💯
who here can notice what hes doing wrong?
I’m all ears…
@dsw3rvin pretty sure he’s making a joke directed at Honda drivers always bouncing off the rev limiter. Could be wrong though.
@@Brenden.Riley. that’s where the power’s at baby.
ngl ive always wanted to build a awd ej1 na for circuit
Well now you can live vicariously here.
Well...I have yet to see any AWD golden era civic do any type of road racing until now. Bravo! Excited to see this progress!
Thank you! Such a great platform for road racing. Happy to see people are interested in this, I'd love to keep this going.
This guy FUCKS
awesome vid.. car sounds fantastic !
What rear swaybar you using?
Don’t have one. Still looking for one that’s compatible with the awd rear bracket.
your driving was so satisfying i didnt even noticed how long i was watching for. usually have trouble watching entire riding povs, but not this time :) beautiful driving and the car sounds so good
Well I’m flattered!
Great video, Looks like a bunch of fun! Cool to see an AWD swapped car on a track and not on the drag strip
Appreciate it! I know right? I’ve never seen another one on a track.
@@kawdzilla AWDHONDA time attack has an integra that they track
what size is that steering wheel ?
330mm
10.3 AFR on a all motor car is pretty crazy, I think there's a lot of power being left on the table with that motor. All of my friends with k swaps (including myself) are at anywhere between 12.3-13:1 on WOT
100% needs a tune at WOT, feels a bit boggy when it's that rich. Type S basemap certainly isn't accounting for the side dump exhaust. Idles perfectly at 14.7 though...small wins.
@@kawdzilla hey man, youre at the track get seat time and learning the car. Thats all the matters. Even with that tune thats on there right now the thing would never blow up anyways, those motors are solid. Id ask the tuner to leave it a little rich (maybe 12.5) on wot to keep cooler cylinder temps, since on the track the car experiences high load for 20 minutes nonstop at times.
Was thinking the same :)
Dyno tune scheduled for next week. Stay tuned.
Dyno tune done, stay tuned for a video update and new track session.
Hey that was me in the red 9th gen accord at the 7:00 mark You're pretty dang fast! Hope to see you at future events. I can't wait to get back out there on a hotter day and dry track.
Such a clean Accord and sounds wild too. Good seeing you there!
Your hands bro. Needs work.
Tell me more...
Awesome driving, great content. Awd is the way to go, leaves a way for the inivitable power adder to put down the power. Smart man. Subbing for more. 👍 👍
Appreciate that. Lots of work to be done yet.
Looks like final drive a little to long for all motor your rpm drops a lot when you shift into next gear
CRV transmission woes...
Reliable rally car
Hate you burst your bubble.....but that 220 HP doesn't need the awd system....I'd bet money car would be faster with a k20 type r transmission with a 5.1 final drive vs the awd
Appreciate the sentiment, but this car wasn’t built to be the fastest k swap in the world. It was built to be awd.
I'd like to add that it MAY be faster in the dry with fewer drivetrain losses and less weight, but OP said it was unimaginably better in the wet being AWD. To be fairer to your argument, it'd be the best it could be in the dry if he put the engine and transaxle behind himself and made a de-dion axle for the rear, and that's both whether he paired that setup with AWD or left it RWD only. I still think AWD will be superior in the wet either way, but at the very least a transverse MR setup with de-dion axle would be faster than your FWD proposal.
Dude walks his hands as much as Tenisha when parking her maxima at walmart
Thanks for noticing my car but my s2000 is not k swapped lol still got the original f20c in it. You looked good out there though. Hope to see you at some more events.
Sorry boss, got you mixed up with the other silver s2k that was definitely k swapped. Good driving out there!
I think its perfect as a track due to amount of different layouts you could run seeing from all the other infield routes and not just that clearly its pretty shitty pavement which makes it that much closer to how some american streets are i give this track actually a 7.9/10 more places like these should be built would fix a lot of shit. Thank you for coming to my ted talk
They change the layout frequently, pavement isn't great and no runoff strips or curbs, but we work with it. It's a police pursuit training course too.
Need that turbo soon as u get tired of that stock motor❤
Ehh, he could also J swap it. Built N/A J35s can do 400hp/300tq, and with a 6-1 header or an equal length 6-2-1 setup it'll scream like an RB26, too. Best part is the reliablity and response of N/A + still having an abundant but controllable power-to-weight ratio.
No need for turbo boost. Changes the responsiveness
Yeah I love the J series, but rather not have my engine sticking out the hood in this chassis. Always wanted to J swap a 5th gen lude though, that chassis is begging to be rwd...
@@kawdzilla Just noticed it said EG in the description and yeah, those are pretty flat cars. Even a custom intake and dry sump might leave you needing a power bulge in the hood... However, if you want a lower-profile V6 with potentially less weight and even more torque, look into a Chevy LV3. It's a 4.3L V6, but the modern all-aluminum one based on the Gen 5 LS (called LT) platform. Off-the-shelf cams can get you 380-crank but if you study David Vizard's teachings and get a proper cam for it, you can push 450+ at the crank(in the same rev range, mind you), which should translate to 360+ at the wheels. And that's to say nothing of making it high compression and doing some head work to it, also, which David Vizard can ALSO teach you about the best practices. Oh, and don't forget the idea of a mid/rear engine swap. You could definitely get the J in there that way. And if you make it rear engine and find a way to reverse the gearbox's final drive output, it won't even encroach on the cabin all that much. You'd have a sizable space behind the front seats to put things or lean them back. Or have a midship fuel cell. Maybe even both.
Great run. What final drive are you running? 5.06?
Yep, stock CRV 5.062.
That's a track? It's terrible
Best the Twin Cities has to offer unless you get up to BIR. We work with what we got.
More like a fast autocross than a track
Indeed...
Need to bang those limiters don’t be scared playa
Have you run the car in just the fwd configuration and do you notice a big difference in lap times with the AWD even with the extra weight?
I also want to know the same answer to the question 😊
This was everyone’s question at the track too. Yes and no. Yes I’ve run it fwd, but not with this engine. It used to be H2B turbo, 360whp. The car is way…way more driveable in the current configuration. Yes, it’s probably a bit slower than fwd K20 in the dry, all else equal, considering drivetrain losses. Wet it’s no contest, awd destroys of course, and it did that morning in the rain. I notice less liftoff oversteer, way less throttle out understeer exiting corners, and overall more stability compared to fwd (I drove it in events for years before it was awd swapped).
Love the content
Awesome video were the clips on the body all oem as well?
Yes they are, new from Honda.
I have to replace my windshield should and get the moldings cuz I don’t have any should I prep the edges for the new moldings and install them then replace the windshield or should I replace windshield then do molding?
Windshield first, then moldings.
Thanks for this video! Super helpful when I need to install mine. Where did you order your molding from?
Ordered from eBay, oem Honda so they came from Japan.
Good job bro 👍 👍
Anyone know if the adjuster piece can be removed on a 2019? I have this problem but can't see if the adjuster is able to be removed, and haven't found anything online for my setup.
Not sure about the '19. Another commenter had something to say about that generation below. Might be able to tell you more.
