b18c5 and 4 lugs... can ya do that???
Sorry for the ignorant question. I just want to make sure....
I'm eyeing a b18c5 swap, but I do NOT want to switch to a 5 lug setup. My race wheels are 4 lug, and I don't want to invest in new one's if I don't have to. Not to mention they would never fit over ITR brake rotors. Is there anything different about the axles, or will everything bolt up fine? Thanks!

ANSWER to your question is "NO"
you can swap the B18c5 into your car without having to swap to 5 lug. since you put b18c5, i am assuming you are getting the USDM ITR motor and not the jdm B18C ITR motor. if you decide to use the jdm motor, it comes with axels that are tooo big, i think its 36mm. but you will need to use and USDM 94+ B series axels cause they are 32mm.

Yes, I believe it is a JDM spec motor. According to the seller, the motor comes with "half shafts", but not axles. I'm not familiar with the term "half shaft". Are the 32 mm axles compatible with the "half shafts" from a JDM b18c5?
Thanks for the valuable information!

I have a JDM B18CR in my '99 hatch. No problems here with axles or anything, but they could have switch axles before they sent the engine to me.
The half shaft mounts on the back of the block and is basically an extension for the tranny. The half shaft helps to minimize torque steer by utilizing more equal length axles. The drive-train is 4 pieces consisting of the tranny, half shaft, and 2 axles. 32mm
Good luck and nice choice in engines!

Re: b18c5 and 4 lugs... can ya do that??? (spoonek9)
Thanks for the help!! Ok, now I understand what the half shaft is. Good stuff!
My delimma is the fact that I'm building this car primarily for autocross. I have a substantial investment in a set of 13 x 9" RS race wheels (and hoo$iers). With the 5 lug conversion and brakes, I'd have to go to at least a 15" wheel. While 15" might be the better choice anyway, I'm still experimenting with the smaller wheel size before I take the plunge.

JDM ITR motors comes with 36mm axles, they prob did switch them for you so you dont use the jdm 5 lug.

NOT to confuse you or anything but he may still be refferring to axles.
Axles, are known in different terms:axles, half shafts, cv shaft
SINCE you said half shaft(s) im guessing that he is refferring to the axles
The halfshaft is a like an extension to the driver side axle, it does minimize torque
The half shaft is also known as the Intermediate shaft
Hope i didnt confuse you or anything
