Fuck yes dude omg I've been waiting for a video like this, I promised my wife for two weeks that I would go to this stupid friends party with her but I told her fuck that I'm staying at the crib and watching this video, I might be getting a divorce but it might be worth it
i really appresiate yor videos mate. Can you do a video on comparing the differentials? In the 3:33 you say to the newer differentials they have better clutch packs etc etc. A video just comparing the internals. Whats ebtter and whats not from the clutch mechanism. Thanks and good luck.
@@PirateGarage Just giving ideas. I put your idea of the x type differential on honda-tech.com .There are a ton of these diff here at europe for like 70 GBP and they SHOULD be strong. Im just wandering about the rotation. This might sound dumb but what are the chances that the Jaguar differential was designed to be rotated the other way?
how has this held up? would this be a good option for a daily in a rd-1 cr-v?although i think i would have to have the VC installed becasue the fornt and rear tires would fight as you turn the car. thank you and great content!
Have u noticed any vibration from the rear diff being out of balance because of the drilling and the pins? Looks pretty symmetrical. I’m just wondering how off before it can be before it starts to vibrate and wear itself out.
I have this dif older version, on my civic and I like to modify to engage better and constantly, do you have kit for this older version the springs etc?
This is exactly what I want to do to my 07 element rear diff!! I thought it was 05 but it's a 07. There is someone who makes the freelander vicious coupler and driveshaft bolt on ready.
@@PirateGarage this guy says there is someone who makes the freelander viscous coupler and driveshaft bolt on ready. Was asking who makes that, I am going to have my local driveline shop modify me a Freelander VC when I can find one. Do you know of an online shop that sells the Freelander VC for a reasonable price?
Hey I'm looking at buying a DB9 4wd Integra that's for sale near me, it's real time 4wd dual pump system, I guess I can do this to the diff to, what HP are these good for once you lock the diff?
Hello ! As you know, Honda HR-V 2005 release. Has a similar gearbox. Is it recommended to redesign the Honda HRV gearbox this way? Who has a CVT transmission?
if I weld the spider gears in my 2000 cr-v but leave the clutch packs as normal, will it effect daily driving? I'm looking to get "slightly" better off-road capability. also, could that be combined with a real front lsd?
do you have any videos / resources that you have found for mounting installing the landrover shaft (w/ viscous coupler) to an rd-1 cr-v? thank you and great video - you rock!
Pirate Garage thanks for the response! Just trying to figure out the right swap for me. I saw a video a while back of a guy that did a sh-awd rl swap on a civic, he had to get a stand-alone ecu and program the rear diff’s torque vectoring... seems like an awesome swap, too advanced for my knowledge though.
@@PirateGarage is it easier to do an AWD on a crx K-Swapped? Cuz since my FA5 is now totalled,i'm kinda thinking of getting a crx and use my K24A2 from my FA5 and maybe make it AWD.
Red can the transmission be modified so that 100% of the power goes through the transfer case to the rear diff? I know the t case needs an upgrade but would the rear diff handle it?
theoretically yes. but the "transfer case" isnt really strong enough. the rear axles are pretty weak. pirate garage is right. it's really going to work and if it does it wont last very long at all.
Red, can this be applied to other front wheel biased AWD cars? For example a Mazdaspeed 6 which is AWD but utilizes the clutch pack in the rear diff to engage AWD.
Very helpfull... Bmw rear diffs are very strong and cheap did you managed to find one with the correct gearing? Also what about going for 2 compact viscous couplers on the front axles and remove the rear VC? This way power will go to the rear first.
Just curious... what would happen if you used the rd1 crv driveshaft with these same modifications. Basically an always activated rear diff. Do you thing with decent fluid and regular changes would it hold up? These are everywhere in the pull-a-parts near me. Might be worth a shot to see how it would hold up
Was starting to wonder about you guys, good to see a new vid in my feed, you make it all look so easy. Really digging your music too btw 🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽. So I couldn't help but notice on one of the recent Hoonigan videos they featured Bizzy Moto's awd civic, was that the diff we got to see you guys work on together?
Me and Tim try to make videos as often as we can but car parts are expensive and we both have jobs, this diff is for Time can and we are going to post one video a week showing every step of his AWD conversion
What is the performance difference between this and shim/ramp upgrade you did for bisimoto? Trying to decide what to do with my 05 Crv. So much great information here!
G'day Red, In your opinion what would be your untimate AWD components? I have a 1978 Australian Leyland Mini and would like to do track days, time events, hill climbs and gymkhana style envents running CRV driveline. Will be on a budget so wreckers and donor cars will be my go to source. Keep up the good work mate👍
Im new to your channel, what year crv is this diff from? What sort of power can it hold? Also is that all you need to do to the diff is lock those clutch packs and weld it and its good to go? I picked me up a wagovan diff, driveshaft with viscous coupler and both rear axles 3weeks ago for $200 new zealand dollars which is around $134usd haha i got super lucky.
V360Newzealander the wago rear end is way different. It doesn’t have those clutches in the diff since it uses a viscous coupler. All you need to do to a wago rear is either stick with open diff or weld the spider gears.
@@rgreerjr Yeah i know it doesnt have clutches in the diff, im talking about the crv diff, nevermind now tho, i asked the question before watching the whole video.
What year freelander driveshaft are you using? im having trouble finding one and a wagon vc driveshaft is impossible to find at a decent price. im about to do the same pin and weld set up on a crv diff great video!
hi guy´s love the vids and i just wonder if the welded diff can handle the power of the car? i have a 98 manual crv and i plan someday do that kind of conversion... by the way the music kicks ass \m/
You could weld the rear but the front you'll want a phantom grip it's a block of aluminum that goes into the front diff itself and makes it a lsd trans Weld front diff sucks but that phantom grip is a life saver
I didn't weld the Differential only the clutch pack to lock it to the front Soni can use a viscous coupler and Tim's car has a wavetrac LSD in the front
🤔 Hi...are auto crv rear diff's the same as the manual crv's...I doubt it but just trying to get conformation...thks..👍👍...really liking the content too. 😎
I see...but it is a major upgrade from stock right? I have a lifted CRV with mud tires and I noticed at times it seems like I'm only getting about 15% of torque to the rear tire ...one last question will welding the rear diff be a good idea?
Would you recommend doing this for a rwd conversion or would you rather use a different rear diff? Also how does the crv trans hold up to a rwd configuration? Btw love the content man!!!
Hi red , again buddy great detailed video 👌.. when welding the clutch plate closed with the pins inserted , is this creating more of a power split or is this mod to mimic rear LSD ? Keep up the good work man 💯
@@PirateGarage sorry for the dumb question watched the video again and heard that you are using the land rover prop ... Doesn't the CRV already have a viscous coupler? I am new to the world of AWD Red so I do apologise , you seem to be the only guy I can find who breaks it down in to good detail for dudes like myself 👍
The clutch is locked it won't be moving anymore, the only reason I cleaned them was so I can weld it and not start on fire, please watch the whole video
Pirate Garage my concern is that rage kept being used to clean but in between cleaning you were throwing it back into the metal shavings. Aren’t you concerned about that getting into the diff?
That looks reasonably simple. That definitely clears up what people mean by pinning the differential.
Great video, we can see what you’re doing. Thanks
Ya we read alot of comments saying you guys couldn't see what I was doing so we will try to make better videos
You nailed it. @@PirateGarage
You are helping me so much with my build dude, thank you so much

No Southern California

If I’m planning on doing a k-awd setup on my integra, would it only benefit straight line traction? Or cornering as well?
Mostly guys do this for straight line traction when they have big power

Regarding the crv diff, what lsd could you run in it, or is that not a thing?
There is no LSD out. But there should be one comming very soon
Great vids. Maybe one day you guys can do an AWD 8th gen civic si 👍
Bring the car down

pirate garage is right. it's really going to work and if it does it wont last very long at all.
how does this compare price wise vs doing a wagovan setup? and also, what kind of power can this setup handle? Great content.
Way better
great video. Any news on the vc install. Would be great to see how good a crv is off road with the mods
That video is coming soon
Is it for a second gen or first gen crv
Red, can this be applied to other front wheel biased AWD cars? For example a Mazdaspeed 6 which is AWD but utilizes the clutch pack in the rear diff to engage AWD.
I wouldn't do that to a car without adding a new device to ad slip
Very helpfull... Bmw rear diffs are very strong and cheap did you managed to find one with the correct gearing?
Also what about going for 2 compact viscous couplers on the front axles and remove the rear VC? This way power will go to the rear first.
No the closest one was from a Jaguar but I rather use a Honda diff the jag is like a for 8.8 I think so it's really big
@@PirateGarage Ill try so find some data on bmw. Whats the rear gearing must be?
How do I get these pads in my car is missing the pads
so how much better is the freelander coupler than the crv clutch pack dual pump design? is the engagement quicker?
Haven't been able to test it yet

That is a really good price. This CRV differential is from a 2002 CRV. Nobody has tested the max power in this configuration yet.
@@PirateGarage Yeah for sure, I see the wagovan setup is like $3000usd+ on ebay which is crazy.
This is the cheaper alternative which should work exactly the same
Hey that's a good idea . Hey I notice that you have a RS clutch sticker in your hood did you put it there ?
Long time ago
Hey man are you located in Cali?
Could you do this with out using a viscous? And leave it at FT 4wd if you did, how streetable would it be?
I have not tried but if you did use a 05-11 crv the gear ratio in the back is cloeser to the front
Pirate Garage I think I’m gunna try it and see what breaks
What year freelander driveshaft are you using? im having trouble finding one and a wagon vc driveshaft is impossible to find at a decent price. im about to do the same pin and weld set up on a crv diff great video!
I think is 03-05
Can i send you my diff so this can be done so i can run a vc and a freelander shaft on my ef sedan?
What do mean by wagon? Yr make model
89-91 civic awd wagon
Could I pin my stick crv without having a viscous coupler
If you did that you would break things
Hi Red
does this process also apply to the earlier 1st gen CRV diff? is that a viable choice or should i be looking to use the newer gen diffs?
cheers
This was a first gen rear diff
@@PirateGarage Awesome! cheers for your reply bud! I really appreciate it! time to get a donor! Cheers again from the UK!
How will this work on a street/track car or there's no need for this for what I want it for
It will work perfectly because it's for someone wanting to use a viscous coupler
hi guy´s love the vids and i just wonder if the welded diff can handle the power of the car? i have a 98 manual crv and i plan someday do that kind of conversion... by the way the music kicks ass \m/
You could weld the rear but the front you'll want a phantom grip it's a block of aluminum that goes into the front diff itself and makes it a lsd trans
Weld front diff sucks but that phantom grip is a life saver
I didn't weld the Differential only the clutch pack to lock it to the front Soni can use a viscous coupler and Tim's car has a wavetrac LSD in the front
Wouldn’t it be better if you gutted the dual pump assembly and reinstalled it for support?
Not needed there is a support bearing inside the housing pay better attention to what I say I cover this in the video
Yea I jumped the gun and commented before getting to that part
Why wouldn’t you just pin the clutch pack and keep the dual pump?
The dual pump engages the the clutch by pinning it the clutch is permanently locked so the dual pump becomes obsolete
@pirategarage
Can you leave it in there for shaft support or it doesn’t matter?
The pump? It has plenty of support so not needed
Will it work for my crv gen 1 or crv 98?
Nice camera work there “Tim”.
🤔 Hi...are auto crv rear diff's the same as the manual crv's...I doubt it but just trying to get conformation...thks..👍👍...really liking the content too. 😎
All the same
You mentioned manual crv differential.. is their a difference between the auto and manual diff?
Auto and manual transmission shares nothing, the rear carrier is the same
Pirate Garage do you need a specific year/model rear carrier to do this mod?
No this will work on all crv diffs but the 05-11 is easyer you don't have to weld the clutch pack because there is a c-clip that hold it together
Will it work in a automatic 97crv?
You could replace the clutch for steel plate and you don't have to drill and use the pin.
Until someone makes them this is the easiest way
I wasn't aware that nobody sale them.
would this make the awd work all the time?
No this is so you can use a viscous coupler you don't want the front and rear locked
@@PirateGarage ok thanks
Would this mod be good for a daily for a CRV
Not without a VC, I went over that in my video
What does locking the clutch packs together do?
I answered that question in the description
So Tim can use a viscous coupling ...but what will this do? will it let the diff use 50% of torque when the front slips?
The vs is always slipping so it will never be true 50-50
I see...but it is a major upgrade from stock right? I have a lifted CRV with mud tires and I noticed at times it seems like I'm only getting about 15% of torque to the rear tire ...one last question will welding the rear diff be a good idea?
I don't recommend locking the rear differential if you plan to drive it on the street, that's the same a spool
Can i lock out the crv differential just to make my crv more of an awd?
You will need to add a viscous coupler or else the car won't drive well and will break everything
Plus an lsd in the tranny right?
LSD always helps
why do you need a viscous in the driveshaft
I talked about in my video, it's an alternative to the duel pump system in the crv
IS A 2003 CRV DIFFERENTIAL ANY GOOD?
I prefer 05-11
Garcan you explain why and thank you for answering questions i truly appreciate it.
Would you recommend doing this for a rwd conversion or would you rather use a different rear diff? Also how does the crv trans hold up to a rwd configuration? Btw love the content man!!!
Awd is always better, I don't think it would be a good setup
What is the purpose of this
Hi red , again buddy great detailed video 👌.. when welding the clutch plate closed with the pins inserted , is this creating more of a power split or is this mod to mimic rear LSD ? Keep up the good work man 💯
It's so you can run a viscous coupler
@@PirateGarage are you going to be using the CRV prop or are you modifying another prop to fit with a mid centred viscous ?
@@PirateGarage sorry for the dumb question watched the video again and heard that you are using the land rover prop ...
Doesn't the CRV already have a viscous coupler?
I am new to the world of AWD Red so I do apologise , you seem to be the only guy I can find who breaks it down in to good detail for dudes like myself 👍
No it does not
@@PirateGarage have you made a video or do you plan on making a video on the modification of the prop ?
Did you weld the rear diff?
No. We will install a lsd when they become available
I wonder how long it'll last with constant 4WD.....
There will be a viscous coupler as I stated in the video
Regarding to my 1996 Honda crv its making a howling noise in the rear is it possible it could be the diff or wheel bearings
Dirty fluid have it changed should go away and that is hondas recommendation
And I had this kn my 2000 crv changed fluids and good to.go
That thing is so hard to drill
Many metal plates
This means to be full time awd"
It allows you to use a viscous coupler
i'm amazing something so small does so much...
You're not that amazing
Omg you’re “cleaning” each clutch then putting the rag right back in the metal shavings.
The clutch is locked it won't be moving anymore, the only reason I cleaned them was so I can weld it and not start on fire, please watch the whole video
Pirate Garage my concern is that rage kept being used to clean but in between cleaning you were throwing it back into the metal shavings. Aren’t you concerned about that getting into the diff?
No there is a screen separating the front from the rear and the end of the diff was welded shut, like I said watch the whole video
How was it running? Planning to that as well n
Rd1 diffe much stronger
