- get a pair of worn out axles and cut them in half
- take the cv's and cups apart and clean all the grease out of them, a parts washing bin will clean them up very nicely.
- put the car on it's wheels @ driving/racing height. (full weight and compressed suspension) - It's easiest on a drive on hoist but you can do it on a two post hoist if you are creative. The main objective is to put the suspension exactly where it will be as the car is driving.

- install the axle halves back in without the boots - this is tricky, take your time!! You'll need a hand because the cv's will fall out of the inner cups very easily without boots holding them together.

Now you have to determine where you want the inner CV's to be while the car is in motion. To do this, Bottom out the inner half of the axle pushing towards the tranny and then pull it back towards you about .75" to 1.25" (these measurements are off the top of my head, use your best judgment).


The inner cup of the axle is designed to allow the CV's to slide in and out along the axles axis (you'll see what I mean if you didn't already know). As the steering wheel turns and the suspension compresses and decompresses the axles slides within the inner(tranny) cup.

Now that you have established where you want the inner CV to be you can now determine how long you need to make the axle shaft. Pictured below is how to mock up a shorter axle. A piece of pipe is used to keep the two halves of the dummy axle fairly concentric. A few good tacks will keep your mock up assembly together.



At this point you have a complete <FONT SIZE="5"><u>*mockup*</u></FONT> of your axles. Triple check that the axles work under all suspension and steering situations by raising and lowering the car and steering in booth directions.

<FONT SIZE="5">do not be an idiot and attempt to drive the car on welded axles.</FONT> All you have left to do is remove your mockup axles, dissemble them, and bring mockup axle shafts to a good machine shop that can cut splines.

the integra axles are too long but i have heard of people using them.. they must of had the motor in a very awkward position that placed the axles are really freaky angles. (very bad idea)

I had the machine shop make my axles from 4130 and use OEM cups/cvs.. I cant break them no matter how hard i try..

i know its like forbidden to post non-DIY stuff but:


"EF H-series axles........ etc.

Hasport Axles are made from completely brand new parts and do not require a core like many other competitors do.

Hasport stocks axles for all the swap options offered by Hasport.
These axles are rated to handle up to 200 horsepower at the wheels.

Also, its a VERY safe bet these guys have the dimensions to make what you want:

If you purchased a motor mount kit from a Co. give them a ring...

By far the best axle combo is to use the Accord Midshaft 90-93 Ex or Lx model with the custom hybrid Integra axles...

Using the Prelude midshaft and Prelude hybrid axles are **** to problems...*cough EG* for example...

I have done the EF H22A swap quite a few times...

i am using the hasport mount kit. so i think i will use their axles also. thanks for all the help!

 

i can get the passenger side integra axle in and i haven't yet tried to install the driver side cause i have a bad intermediate shaft that i dont wanna waste time installing it if it will not work. as soon as i can get it rebuilt or a new one i will update..

 

if your using the ESP kit will hasport axles work?

Nope...I beleve they are using the prelude midshaft and prelude hybrid axles which I believe may be giving some troubles...

ESP kit uses

88-89 Acura Integra Driver side off shelf axle
90-93 Honda Accord Ex or Lx model midshaft
88-89 Acura Integra Passenger side axle cut down 1/2" on the shaft with an Accord inner joint on it. Raxles.com sells this axle $160 w/o shipping. Ask for Marty.
