I heard the JDM B18cR's have swap problems because the axles are slightly bigger. Im thinking of purchasing a complete swap from Password with the mounts and axles. I have a 95 coupe by the way. IF this does happen how is it solved or will it happen regaurdless. just some info would be nice. Please dont flame.

 

Any b-series axles will work!

 

If you are getting a USDM ITR or CTR 5-lug, the stock d-series or b-series axles will work.

If you are getting a 98 spec JDM ITR, you will need to swap out the outer joint of the axles with one from a Prelude, Accord, or CRV.

 

my swap is a 97 swap..the b series axles should work with the jdm trannie?

 

the 98+ jdm itr trannie is the 36 spline one only?

Yes, the splines going into the tranny and halfshaft are the same as any b-series.

 

you know when people do K swaps, they put the B series 32mm ends on the K series (36mm) axles. I'm willing to bet if you get the 32mm axle end and put it on, it'll work.

 

so if I get the 96 jspec it will have the 32mm hubs? Only the 98+ have the 36mm? I don't know if I'm willing to sacrifice the 4.7 final drive. Or does it really make a difference from the 4.4 or 4.7. Of course I want the 4.7 but I'm going on easy swap. What kind of work would need to be done to make the 98+ jspec work?

 

only the 98+ jdm trannies have 4.7? when i drove the car the final gear revved much lower than the usdm trannie does...

 

Almost postive on the 98+ have the 4.7 final drive. The USDM ones and the 96+ have the 4.4 i believe.... Im probally wrong... I wish someone would answer that last question because im just about to go k-swap
