The Honda CR-V isn’t something anyone would expect to see on any race track. Built at home, Daniel’s first generation example has been taken to another level.
The factory 2L B20 engine has been swapped out for a smaller but higher compression 1.8L Type R unit. Combined with a low boost Garrett turbocharger and E85 fuel the Honda is now pushing over 300 horsepower to the front wheels. In order to save the driveline from breaking the AWD system has been disabled.
