b16 swap, j1 tranny, 88crxsi, which axles/shaft to use?
I need help ASAP. I'm done with everything else with the swap, except this. I bout 91 integra non-abs axles for this swap. Gen1 b16 swap. I'm using the intermediate shaft that came with the swap. My drivers side axle is not turning at all. My passenger side is. After searching on this, people have told other people that they need a 90-93 teg int. shaft. Do I need to replace the one that came with my swap with this? Any other ideas? Help PLEASE.
Yeah, but that's alot of money. I'm not looking to spend that much for axles unless I have to. Any other ideas?
Okay, I found out when I took everything apart that my brakes pads were rusted to the rotor. I'm thinking that may have played a part. Could it be that I don't need the new int. shaft? Found some on ebay for 50 bucks, but I'd rather not buy it if I don't need it. Also, Do I have to remove the dust rings on the steering knuckle? I've heard rumors about that. If so, would I still need to if I went with the teg int. shaft? Plz help. Thanks guys, I appreciate the help that some of you have given me on my swap. I am a noob when it comes to swaps/mods, but I'm trying not to be
and are the rings in the pic what I would need to remove if I need to remove them? thanks

Is there a difference between the 90-93 teg and the SIR intermediate shaft? I already have the 91 teg non-abs axles. Do I HAVE to get the teg int. shaft? I will if I have to, but if I don't need to, then it's a waste of money.
Also, update on the swap. I took the dust rings off, put it all back together, and now the driver side spins, but the passenger side doesn't. This is strange. I wonder if maybe the axle isn't all the way into the transmission. I'll have to do it all over again tommorow. Yay, nothing better than working on your car in the rain and cold
As for the intermediate shaft, the only reason I still ask is because I don't want to ruin axles all the time. If I need it, I'll get it.

Be sure to match the axles to the intermediate shaft, For example, I used a integra intermediate shaft, so I use the 90-93 integra axles. If you have a SIR engine it may have the SIR intermediate shaft, you will need custom made SIR axles. Read Hasport's link for instructions. These axles can be made with 89 integra axles with the 90-91 integra inner joint.
Becarefull here, your b16a may have came from a jdm integra (mine did) so you need to know what int. shaft you have. In general, the swap with the S1 or J1 tyrannies are a jdm integra engine and will have a integra int. shaft. Also if there is a unit on the intake manifold that has hoses leading towards the intake pipe, that is another sign of the jdm integra engine. Engine importers are known to mix and match, so be careful.

I got it! My car is driving now!!
Turns out that the only thing that ended up being wrong was this:
When I first had the problem of not having any spinnage on the drivers side, I removed everything, took the dust sheild off, and put everything back together again. Then the passenger side didn't sping. Turns out a neighbor came over to watch and he knows a bit, and told me that only one side was going to spin at a time, and this is why the pass. side wasn't. He suggested lowering the car, then trying to drive it. And that was it. Turns out that the only thing wrong was that I didn't know that only one was supposed to spin when not on the ground. Figures I find this out after 3 times of assembling and disassembling the steering knuckle, etc.. Oh well, at the very least, a learning experience. Now I'm off to get it insured, plated, registered, and get the exhaust fitted to the downpipe. Thanks guys for responding to my posts. It's been a complicated project, with this being my first swap and all, and you guys have saved me time and money.
