Default Hybrid JDM S20/L3 transmission

Ok here's what i want to do. I want to put an S20 92-96 LSD diff in my 91 Si case.
I read one article on this before
http://www.d-series.org/forums...47507

Now here's my question what axles do i end up using?
The other question is can i use the 86-89 integra intermediate shaft as i have a ZC block. If i can which axles do i then use a 90-93 non abs left side axle?
If i can't use the 86-89 intermediate shaft is there one i can use to get equal length axles and no torque steer?

Thanks for anyone who can answer these questions.

OK so that was whole bunch of wrong info. Thanks for trying.
SOHC JDM hydro S20 came with LSD as well as an obscure ZC Sohc JDM L3 cable trans with a 4.437 final drive. I'm only trying to use the S20 LSD because it's cheap and available as the other isn't.
The trans i am going to use is a D SERIES.
The axles i will have to use will be custom built from D15 Vtec inners and EF outers.

OK so here's how it's going.
I got a jdm S20 LSD trans. Removed the LSD diff and it swapped directly into the L3 case no difference in bearing height or installed height.
I attempted to use the S20 countershaft but found it to mesh poorly with the L3 input shaft. For giggles i used the L3 countershaft with the S20 final drive and it all lined up good. all gears are functioning on the bench with no shimming or anything.
I have made 2 axles using the S20 inners and the L3/89si shafts.
New clutch and axle seals. just waiting for the flywheel to come back and i'll put it in and see if it'll work.
Let me know if anyone see's and issue i haven't come across yet.
