Doing exactly this 2004 Honda crv, took the suspension route first, but putting together a turbo kit for it atm. Hoping to be doing around 300hp I’ll be happy with that

"Realtime awd" is not AWD. It's part time. FWD until it's told to change. Tune the system or upgrade it. Blowing transfer cases will happen trying to decide where to send power and how much.
@@mokumizu4318 your point? If this looses control it’s many thousands of pounds moving that can smack into another car or person.. very different than a motorcycle that are at least engineered to handle speed
@mokumizu4318 wtf does that have to do with anything. It's common sense that you have to upgrade steering and suspension components if you upgrade power by that much of a margin if you want to test the full limits of what's capable otherwise you'll never get the full potential of that motor or you'll crash in a corner.
Glad to see people doing different things. I have a 09' Subaru Forester 2.5 X. I did the opposite and started with handling. This platform shares alot of parts with the WRX and STi. I have all upgraded aftermarket suspension for a STi. Coilovers, swaybars, endlinks, lower control arms, wider wheels and sticky tires. Now I am ready for power. Will be either a turbo EZ30 six cylinder or a K24 turbo.
Our 2014 Crosstrek XV is SLOWWW af. Before my step brother blew his brains out, he got a brand new WRX STI, that thing was slower than I thought they'd be... I don't think I've ever been in a fast Subaru. My buddy has an older WRX STI, with the big bug eye lights on the bottom. That things slow too.
this car is a ticking bomb in term of handling, i would upgrade the tires, suspension, bushing and reenforce the frame to make it safe to drive. i used to have a drag car, at first i thought just throw in a turbo and make ton of power and it would b fast but uh uh, i learned the hard way, car couldn't even drive straight, it was so unsafe, i had to get all the suspension upgrade and reenforce the frame to make it safe to drive.
@@omfgg3tlost tires are part of the suspension, this car was made to handle 160 hp, the stock suspension and tires could handle a little bit more hp added but not 500 whp. u can still drive it , doesn't mean it's safe if u hit high speed of 70mph and more.
@@antrinh5525 it has continental dws06 extreme contact. That’s a very good performance tire. Grip is not an issue. Suspension is. Bushings and wear components are all new or good condition. Never was trying to be the safest or best handling car. It could be better though As it would help it be faster. That’s not it for mods either it will only get better from here. Takes time to fully understand what a car needs without just throwing parts at a car
Crv's don't have center differentials which would make them full-time awd. They work like haldex, only instead of electronics, the rear diff is mechanical. There are viscous coupling swaps available for the rear diff though. To use instead of the pump design.
Considering how motion-in-the-ocean feeling my stock crv was at higher speeds even after fresh front struts, I think I might see the problem with adding like 3x the power.
i drove a honda crv 05 model, around the yard at work for a couple months and it was a very fun lil suv stock, i now wanna own one and have already devised a plan to turbo it and make 350-400hp, crazy now seeing a turbo crv on youtube a couple months later lol, looks dope
I’m a big fan of your content! I drive a 2020 elantra sport FBO/ Meth with a stuffed K03 turbo. Pushing 364whp 🤘❤️ it’s fun walking them subi boys. Love sleepers man😭
the crab walk issue is the viscous center coupler; it only sends power to the rear when the front is slipping. pinning the rear diff probably made it do worse in the turns too.

im so glad to know someone wanted to mess with RD7's. Ive got an 03 as well (my grandma passed away and left it to me), and i really wanna make it faster but i for the life of me CANNOT get the steering play out. ive changed damn near everything and it still crab walks on STOCK stuff!

I went out to a rallycross event for the first time yesterday and actually took my stock daily corolla out for a few laps (not the best idea in hindsight, but i got lucky). Got me thinking about what would be a great off-road rally/rallycross car on the cheap, and these seem to make sense! Coincidentally, I need an awd when I move to the Carolina mountains soon, so this becomes all the more appealing as a solid simple reliable daily that i coule maybe mod and rip on weekends!
I built a 250k 2jz tiny turbo swapped 4x4 4runner with 250k and with auto trans. Can shift to 4x4 on the fly. Super budget project but waxing v8s and mild built hondas is an absolute blast. Cant wait to get my hands on some 5.29s and a 100 shot.

Awesome cr-v! :)) I understand it's a sleeper but you'd have to do something about the tyres! My bro's tuned SQ7 would be undriveable without pilot sports.
Replace the front lower control arm bushings with spherical bearings and it will eliminate 90% of the torque steer issues on that great little sleeper! ❤❤
I LOVE SLOW CARS BEING BUILT! Absolutely awesome. I wish I could’ve seen the build. I know it is more expensive but I wish more people used generic engines. Not just LS, K, JZ. You guys know what I mean. It is just unimpressive at this point because it has been done over and over.
Crossover sleepers are the best thing man I swear, I saw this ford edge on the freeway one day beside a Camaro, thing was murdered out, chrome tip exhausts, turns out it had two turbos too 😂
It's a cute build. I'm a fan of sleepers. I actually swapped a gen 2 small block 5.7L Chevy V8 into a 1986 Chevy Blazer 4WD, THEN added TWO T3/T4 Turbones from Amazon and a CSU 750CFM Blow-through carb, modified the HEI ignition to retard timing with boost instead of having vacuum advance. The result? A sleeper Blazer to smoke that CRV with 600-700HP through the snow tires.
I saw a Cuban on a television show , I think it was called Fastest Car , he had a civic awd with 1600 hp . That damned car was so fast that it wasn't street legal.
might be some confusion here, these didnt actually come with a forward transfer case, he added that which is a common mod for cr-v's. originally they come with a drive shaft that's powered all the time and goes to a rear diff / transfer case that consists of dual hydrolic pumps that operate a clutch and send power to the rear diff. the way it works is normally its fwd, but when the front wheels spin more than the rear the pump which is driven by the front drive shaft overcomes the pump driven by the rear wheels and engages the clutch to send power to the rear. so its really only awd when the front tires are already spinning and is pretty laggy. so what he said is he added a front viscus coupler transfer case from another vehicle (sometimes a landrover) and eliminated the rear clutch pack by pinning it together. also would be intresting to do it on a 1st gen, because 1st gen had a double wishbone front instead of the macpherson of the 2ndgen
If you're looking to put down a turbo civic with a mom mobile. The BMW X3M or X5M are your perfect choices. As they come with a potent engine that is 1 flash tune away from triple digit horsepower gains with a couple supporting mods. No need to turbo a K series when you can wait three years and buy an X5M or X3M at a fraction of it's original MSRP. Turbo CRV might be a sleeper, but X3M/X5M won't kill you when you hit the gas. Anything with the basic suspension Honda throws on the CRV will rip the wheel out of your hands or just be unpredictable above 500hp.
CR-V including turbo kit and tuning etc will still be less money (on average) than an “M”!!! even in a few years as the prices will level out about where they are now for a good one that wont blow up as soon as you tune it… There’s also the ML63 at 375kw or Cayenne turbo at 331kw as options although I love the X5M best as you suggested !!! But one issue !! These are super expensive cars to modify and to keep running and generally to maintain! Tuning parts are premium price too !! For a premium car
Anyone knows if it's worth putting a turbo in the stock K crv engine? With the 157 bhp. Where I live is very expensive to import an engine and parts. So looking for the cheapest route to 300 bhp
I think some R888 tires would would have fixed the squirreliness on the freeway. My Integra weighs less and makes the same power. Freeway pulls are straight as an arrow for me.
"All you gotta do is slap on a turbo.. beef up some things". Then goes on to list like 50 different things done to make sure it doesn't rip itself apart. lol.
I have plans to build my 2016 CR-V using an older CR-V/Element manual gearbox, EU manual trans interior parts (shifter/cluster(UK)/pedal). But once it's fully paid off and I have another daily
I'm not an import guy or a Honda guy but have always thought these CRVs were clean looking little SUvs and to make one sneaky fast is cool as shit. I would rather have that than a civic just for shock factor and usability of a small SUV
I lowered my crv and it def feels sketchy.. stock and lifted it felt so factory but lower on coils.. idk how to fix the crab walk.. and w energy bushings and alignment.
thats not k swapped bruh they come stock with a k i have a 2008 honda cr-v it came stock with a k24z and iv been wanting to mod it but dont know where to start
I think the handling issue is due to the way the power is transmitted to the rear axle. It will stay as a FWD until both front wheels are breaking traction. When there is a difference of shaft speed on either side of that viscous coupling, then the viscous fluid is chopped up making it solid and then drive is transferred to the read axle. This will cause a grip/spin feeling from the front axle as the rear axle cuts in and out.
@@vinceod2440 I wish there was. I own a 2003 CRV and it torque steers like a bastard. In the wet, if you are turning at an intersection and apply some throttle, the steering will pull left than right and can pull you into oncoming traffic. You can feel the drive being distributed left/right and when both front wheels start to spin together, drive gets sent to the rear and the steering settles down again. But then the drive is stopped from going rearward because the front axle has traction again, and then the process starts sgain. Very frustrating and dangerous.
I swear I’ve raced this car. I was in my tuned mini and I had a Honda crv come outa nowhere while I was in the high 130s and walk me like I wasn’t even trying.
The CR-V needs stiffer springs and stiffer dampers including it need to be tracked correctly so when it launching from a roll or from a stationary stop the weight transfer should shift to the back to get all the traction it needs but the stock suspension causes the sway on the road when throttle is opened only recipe for crashing or getting out of control
Crossover sleepers are truly hilarious.

Braces. Lower it the best you can. Wide rim. What else. This thing may help a lot to do full pull. Tht thing wild. Its goes all over the road
That's is very cool. Great video man.
Thanks! Thought it was a funny build with a bit of en edge
why is it so clean though 🤣🤤 0:31
One of Honda best vehicles ever
I would love to see a Honda element get this treatment.
Would love to see you take a trip to the boostedboiz and play with some of their k-swap toys
I drive by that shop in the intro everyday.. and always wonder what goes on in there. Some interesting stuff in their yard.
If you're looking to put down a turbo civic with a mom mobile. The BMW X3M or X5M are your perfect choices. As they come with a potent engine that is 1 flash tune away from triple digit horsepower gains with a couple supporting mods. No need to turbo a K series when you can wait three years and buy an X5M or X3M at a fraction of it's original MSRP.
Turbo CRV might be a sleeper, but X3M/X5M won't kill you when you hit the gas. Anything with the basic suspension Honda throws on the CRV will rip the wheel out of your hands or just be unpredictable above 500hp.
CR-V including turbo kit and tuning etc will still be less money (on average) than an “M”!!! even in a few years as the prices will level out about where they are now for a good one that wont blow up as soon as you tune it…
There’s also the ML63 at 375kw or Cayenne turbo at 331kw as options although I love the X5M best as you suggested !!!
But one issue !! These are super expensive cars to modify and to keep running and generally to maintain! Tuning parts are premium price too !! For a premium car
"yeah just a 62mm turbo" made me chuckle
Anyone knows if it's worth putting a turbo in the stock K crv engine? With the 157 bhp. Where I live is very expensive to import an engine and parts. So looking for the cheapest route to 300 bhp
The exhaust on that mr2 is straight fire
i know Quinn personally we grew up in the same town, this is fucking hilarious lol
I’m going to build my CRV soon. It’s 4wd and eventually will stick all that running gear into my 4wd EK Civic hatch.
That crv came with a k24 silly goose
crazy how that 1320 video has changed the game
My 90 yr old mum never goes over 80 kph in her CRV. This would be perfect. 🤣
TH-cam algorithm doing it again showing me a random crazy channel
I think some R888 tires would would have fixed the squirreliness on the freeway. My Integra weighs less and makes the same power. Freeway pulls are straight as an arrow for me.
Almost got the same setup as the red sw20 can’t wait to see it on the next video.
The Hyundai rims are a special touch..
"All you gotta do is slap on a turbo.. beef up some things". Then goes on to list like 50 different things done to make sure it doesn't rip itself apart. lol.
I have plans to build my 2016 CR-V using an older CR-V/Element manual gearbox, EU manual trans interior parts (shifter/cluster(UK)/pedal). But once it's fully paid off and I have another daily
I'm not an import guy or a Honda guy but have always thought these CRVs were clean looking little SUvs and to make one sneaky fast is cool as shit. I would rather have that than a civic just for shock factor and usability of a small SUV
Sick I met this guy at Evo Auto in Maple ridge when the CRV was getting tuned!
Imagine k24 but it’s a v8 I’ll call it the k48
I lowered my crv and it def feels sketchy.. stock and lifted it felt so factory but lower on coils.. idk how to fix the crab walk.. and w energy bushings and alignment.
This is awesome. Cracked me up.
thats not k
swapped bruh they come stock with a k i have a 2008 honda cr-v it came stock with a k24z and iv been wanting to mod it but dont know where to start
I think the handling issue is due to the way the power is transmitted to the rear axle. It will stay as a FWD until both front wheels are breaking traction. When there is a difference of shaft speed on either side of that viscous coupling, then the viscous fluid is chopped up making it solid and then drive is transferred to the read axle. This will cause a grip/spin feeling from the front axle as the rear axle cuts in and out.
I wonder if there could be a way to make it rear bias 4wd
@@vinceod2440 I wish there was. I own a 2003 CRV and it torque steers like a bastard. In the wet, if you are turning at an intersection and apply some throttle, the steering will pull left than right and can pull you into oncoming traffic. You can feel the drive being distributed left/right and when both front wheels start to spin together, drive gets sent to the rear and the steering settles down again. But then the drive is stopped from going rearward because the front axle has traction again, and then the process starts sgain. Very frustrating and dangerous.
I grew up with this car in my family fleet from 2009 to 2017.
Dictionary definition of sketchy: this CR-V
😂
Bro the rust on the rear fender shot☠️ sleeper af
I swear I’ve raced this car. I was in my tuned mini and I had a Honda crv come outa nowhere while I was in the high 130s and walk me like I wasn’t even trying.
The CR-V needs stiffer springs and stiffer dampers including it need to be tracked correctly so when it launching from a roll or from a stationary stop the weight transfer should shift to the back to get all the traction it needs but the stock suspension causes the sway on the road when throttle is opened only recipe for crashing or getting out of control
