Default Which cv boot do I need??

I've got a '91 CRX with a JDM b16a swap. I was told when I bought the car that the engine is from a '92 Integra. All of the suspension (as far as I know) is CRX except for the knuckle which is from a Teg. I've got a torn cv boot and I need to replace it but I don't know what boot to buy. To order them, they ask for the engine size 1.5L or 1.6L. I know it's a 1.6 but I'm not 100% certain that the half shaft is from a CRX. I'm guessing that since the engine and knuckle are from the Teg that the cv is also. It's possible that it doesn't even matter because a lot of the CRX and Integra suspension parts seem to be interchangeable.

Also, locally I've tried to buy 1.6L Integra parts but the 1.6L wasn't offered here in the states. If it is the Integra half shaft boot I need, will the 1.7L boot fit? Or maybe the 1.6L CRX boot??

The JDM b16a's are pretty popular so I'm sure I'm not the first one to come across this!

It might be a better idea to go with a whole new axle. I have heard from many that the replacment CV boots are junk. But if I am wrong, so be it. Gl

Ok, so far I can't figure out what axles I have. Can anyone tell me with some certainty what axles I need for a '91 CRX with a JDM b16a from a '92 Integra? It's also got the Integra knuckle but that's about all I know!

I've done a few cv boot replacements and they've all been good. Don't get the wrap around kind that snap together, get the kind where you need to take everything apart to put the whole boot on same as stock.

I always thought boots were basically the same but hell if I know, I just told autozone the car and they gave it to me, good luck,
