My buddy wants to put in an LS/VTEC in his 1989 Civic, what kind of axles should he be using on either side? thanks in advance!

 

Which transmission?

 

Well if its not a si then he will need to swap out the hubs and get some si ones.... umm for the axles he will need the 90-93 integra axles basically the same on both sides.....

 

i think he's using a B16a Y1? (not sure) tranny.

so basically as long as he has an Si, he can buy G2IC axles for both sides and he should be ok?

 

G2IC is a website, Generation 2 Integra Club.

He can buy any B series axles he wants as long as they mate to the halfshaft and he has the SI hubs on it.

Doesnt matter. All b series trannys accept the same axles.

Nope. Only the HF and standard models require you to swap out hubs.
DX, LX, EX, and SI all have the same size whole in the hub.

Yep in other words, use '90-93 axles with a '90-93 half shaft and '94-up axles with '94-up half shaft. (B series, of course!)
You will have to remove the dust cover from the hub and the plastic ring on the outer joint of the axles.


or just get custom axles.

 

Si or dx hubs work, on the hf you will need to change the hubs. That's for a crx, I dunno about a hatch with std and all that business.

well correct me if im wrong but B series axles don't fit DX hubs cuz i just did a b16 into a DX and it didn'tfit so we had to do SI hubs

 

I helped a friend do a b16 swap into his dx, axles went in fine.

 

ahh, alright thanks a lot... and sorry about the G2IC... i don't know what I was thinking of. So basically just pick up some 90-93 axles and the 90-93 half shaft and he'll be alright. He does have an Si.

 

ya and make sure the halfshaft fits correctly on the block, 96midorihatch had a problem with his halfshaft not bolting into the block with his b20vtec setup.

I used 91 teg axles in my 88 dx (auto) and they worked fine, perhaps there are different styles.
