DDTECH

Ya, i've spoken to mike a few times, he actually wanted DDTECH to be a dealer for him, and he's very cool.. i think i'll give his a shot.

I received my prelude hubs last week, that I ordered off ebay. I pressed the prelude hub and inner bearing races into the integra spindle and bearing casing. The hub spins freely by hand and seems like it will work. It will be a month or so until the project is finish and I can take a test drive.

Sounds like a deal to me! Thanks!

What prelude hubs did you get?? 90-91 si or the 92-96 hubs?

91 Prelude Si. Here is the ebay item number: 200520566255

If RSX/06' Civic Si Axles fit B-Series EG's without modification (except Karcepts hubs) then theoretically they should fit right in 36mm OEM ITR hubs. I already have a 5lug conversion, although it's CTR 32mm.
I'd like to retain the 5-lug, due to the fact that my EJ1 is still a street car, I like the larger brakes and I have a few sets of wheels I like that would become useless if I converted back to 4-lug.

I guess I have 2 choices. 36mm ITR/CRV knuckle/hub swap (which should work)

or

If Karcepts makes 36mm 5-lug hub that fits in a 32mm bearing.

Anyone done either of these combo's

Only reason I ask, I work at Acura and can get OEM axles/hubs/bearings etc. for cost.

i am wanting to know more information on this as well. Im more concerned with the diff and intermediate shaft myself. or is this a conversion in which will require b series axles with K series outer joints to be joined?

DraginX

I have laid a set of b-series and the 36mm k-series axles beside each other and they are the same length. I also locked the k-series axle in the diff and it fits as if it's a b-series axle.

K20EF8Dx

This is what i like to hear! if i knew of anyone close to me or had a set of K series axles I would test them myself but i don't.

So 91 prelude si hubs, 06 si axles, has anyone confirmed if we could use ITR bearings for the 36mm conversion?

i just looked up the part numbers at work and the ls,gsr typer all use the same wheel bearing. so if the type r has a bigger axle the stock integra bearing should work with the prelude hub. witch it doesnt because i tried. does the us itr not have 36mm axles?

061000rr

iTrader: (2)

ok heres what i just came up with.
prelude si wheel bearing- id 1.64" od 3.071" w 1.613"
integra ls/gsr/usitr- id 1.69" od 3.11" w 1.614

prelude bearing will be loose in a integra hub and prelude hub will be loose in integra bearing
witch makes no sense cause prelude hub has bigger opening for axle

Nice!

For my JDM MK2 CRX Y1 (Cable Box)

Karcepts 36mm DA Hubs (Pair): For Larger 29.50mm Axle Spline (36mm Axle Nut) - Includes 2.50" Long ARP Extended Studs
Accord 1999 -2002 hubs with either 2000 (onward) ITR axles, since then I found that EP3 or DC5 (RSX) axles also work.

Depending on the hub and outter CV you may have to remove the spacer shim to allow the axles to pull up properly on the 36mm hub nut.
Also, you will need to fit the larger EP3/RSX 52 tooth reluctor rings (ABS) and modify the placement of the ABS sensor pick up as the ring is larger it hits the sensor so just needs spacing out, always usful for those running HD traction control.

So the turned down and re-drilled 92-96 hub would be the best bet then considering it fits right into the integra bearing.
I'm thinking if the taper and the bearing is very slightly different it could cause premature wear to the bearing.

the hole point was to get a little stronger axle and keep it cheap. thats why i just bought the hole used spindle and used the prelude inner race and integra outter and guts. to pay someone to machine the hubs and redrill them wouldnt make sense. you could buy aftermarket axles or hubs by that time

DraginX

For me I can get that little bit of machine work done for very little money, and it would be alot easier to find the 92-96 hubs because there is very little 90-91 preludes left around my area (I can't even remember the last time I seen one) So in my case it would be cheaper and I wouldn't have to worry about the bearing.

i found used spindles online for 100$ and been riding and racing on the bearings for 2 years. thats not saying everyone will have the same turnout but it worked for me. i have the chassis up forsale that has the front spindle setup on it, if i dont get a hit on the hole car i will part out whats left on it if anyone here wants the front spindles and axles. and i have 1 or 2 extra sets of axles i made to take to the track

DraginX

After doing a tonne of research on different bearings for this setup I have found that the 90 prelude runs the same bearing as a 90-93 Integra so the prelude hub would be a perfect fit for these integras.
I tried the hubs in my 95 integra spindle and don't like how they fit. Once the axle nut is tightened everything is tight but before hand it is too slack for my liking so I am selling the hubs I have if anyone is looking for a set.

I use the 92-96 prelude hubs and lathe them down to fit small and large bearing spindles. I can set the depth by shortening the shoulder. As for lug patterns.....we cut them 4x100 by redrilling and counterboring. If you didn't mind switching to 4x114 wheels, you could leave the pattern stock, and just drill the rotor. I'll post again with the axle part numbers we use.

Advance auto parts. Ncv36505
Napa. 95-6180

And yes, these hold up very well. I cut 1.59s on them and tried to break them.
It took over 800 to finally do it. This was also with the hard shifting of a dog box!

Admiral Beckett

Is there an axle that fits an eg that is longer than the standard 24 1/2" B series? I'm looking for at least a 26" anyone got any info on that?

Karcepts 36mm hubs with rsx-type s axles👍

Black R

Thanks.

Are you using the karcepts hubs?

I bought a pair a while back (36mm nut / 5lug conversion / for my EF), but haven't installed them yet.

Iirc, you're supposed to use them with DA wheel bearings on a DA knuckle, and mix and match axles to find the length that best fits your swap / mounts.

I'm using a bseries, and I think they recommended to start with rsx-s axles and check suspension travel at full droop and compression with them.
