Which spindles/knuckles are best: 90-93 Integra or 88-91 Civic Si??
Yes, I am doing a b-series swap into a 91 Civic hatch and I have the DPFI version that requires a spindle swap in order to use the b-series axles. However, I am under the assumption that the DA spindles are the best to use versus the Si spindles. My reasons are for a stronger and less likely to flex unit.
I could be wrong in this assumption, and would like to know if the DA spindles are more prefered, or if the Si Civic spindles are the most prefered?
My current knowledge as of now tells me that I will need the following for this swap:
-Integra throttle cable (90-93 model)
-90-93 Integra axles and intermediate shaft with bracket (not sure if I need the bracket or not)
-90-93 Integra knuckles/spindles
-swap mounts
-swap engine harness
-make dent in the spot where the alternator will rub
Is this correct?

u have it all. i used 90-93 spindles and kept the 88-91 knuckles. Other than that you have everything. I used the throttle cable that came with the motor. oh yeah, you will have to to cut your crossmember some or get an aftermarket one.

You do not have to cut the cross member. Ive done three b-series swaps and have not once cut the cross member or replaced with an aftermarket one.. the only thing you HAVE to do i cut the d-series mounting brakets on the cross member

I don't get it! I want to understand what you mean. Also, what do you recommend doing or what route do you recommend regarding the spindles/knuckles?
Thanks for replying!
