Well I got my h22 into the EG and it runs great except for the fact that it's broken two axles within 5 minutes of driving. The first time was while driving on the street and "testing" the performance (not reving higher than 4K). So I replaced the axle but to my dismay, the second axle breaks while doing a U turn back to the shop Anyone have any idea what could be causing this to happen? Is the frame bent or was the engine maybe dropped in at an angle causing stress on the axles?

Another thing that's possible: The company I got the axles for said that they are stage 1 hybrid axles made for the h22 - EG swap and are good for 200 WHP. The first axle they sent me broke and when I sent it back, they sent me the same axle, only refurbished. The guy said he put it on the balancer and it seemed just fine. Currently, they are sending me a brand new axle, not a refurbished one.

 

sounds like they are the wrong length. there is little room for error on axle length, and if they are off, they will bind and break.

 

This is 97vtecGSR under a different name...

Could the problem be that the frame is bent? What are other possibilities? I ask because as soon as I get the new axle on, I'm gonna drive it onto a lift SLOWLY and try to diagnose it, and I'd like to know what to look for. Any input from anyone else? Thanks IHateJDM.

 

how low is it? i know my break easy if the car is too low

 

yeah if your car low more stress on your axles. and check your mounts too.

If the frame is bent, that's probably the reason. lowering the car does put more stress on the axles, but I doubt you would break them that quickly.
