Hey HT
Quick question.

What axles will fit the k20 in a dc2 chasie. Do they have to be custom or you can use oem axles of another car like a 02-05 Civic Si or RSX-S axles with outer joint of a 94-01 tegie or i read that SI coupe outers will work asweel. Just need some one to confirm if it will work and be reliable.
thanks

 

94rs-turbo mentioned that base rsx axles work.

 

thank ya buddy, btw if you have jdm 5 lug (36MM) then use rsx type s axles

make sure post pics of your progress

 

Also if you have any questions look around k20a.org. I've found tons of threads there with a lot of info on this swap and others.

 

I used Hasport and DSS custom axles but the base rsx and ep3 axles should work fine as they have the 32mm outers.

 

base model rsx axles or ep3 axles will work

 

if you have jdm itr 5 lug i have the 36 mm axels you need...

chad

 

Ill get back to u guys once im of from work.
Thanks

 

RSX-S Axles and swap Integra OUTERS.

If you have the 36mm JDM 5lug you can use RSX-S axles (they are 36mm)

Picture of when I had a JDM K20A ITR. Now it's a cam'd K24a2. 180WTQ

 

^ do what he did and get the tsx motor. there will be room for updates in the future if you want to boost or NA build.

 

Clean whip
Thanks.....will be doing type s axles with integra outers


Rolled rsx-s for $1500 of copart, cant beat that

Thanks guys

 

What's the difference between the DC5 RSX-S axles and the DC5 Type R axles?

 

JDM DC5-R axles have longer driver & passenger side axle shafts vs. US RSX-S axles.
DC5-R axles are actually the longest OEM K axles out of the K family axles. The longer axles have something to do with the knuckle changes for the big Brembo brakes DC5R's come with.

Other than that, outer and inner joints are the same as Type-S.

 

Base Rex is what I have can't get any more simpler.

 

k tuned that is all lol they know all

 

This.. And base rsx axles(32mm) won't work

U need type-s axles(36mm)

 

wrong

base rsx and ep3 does work on usdm 5 lug because of the 32mm

type s axle will work with jdm 5 lug due to the 36mm

 

Might as well swap to a bigger hub and run the 36mm if you decide on launching the TQ monster, haha.

 

I stand corrected

thought all 5lug hubs were 36mm

 

Careful on suggesting usdm EP3 axles (at least for EG/EK/DC2 Kswap use).
EP3 Driver side as-is, is fine to use.
EP3 Passenger side axle shaft as-is, is WAY too short (even compared to base RSX pass.side axle). I know this first hand all too well. My EP3 pass.side axle blew apart on me when testing these out on a test drive. The inner boot is mad stretched and when the torque of quick acceleration takes affect, the axle pulls itself out of the inner joint cup ripping the inner boot, grease and tripod bearings everywhere.... AAA on speed dial lol. This was many years ago btw.

I haven't confirmed if swapping the inner joints (which forces you to run the EP3 passenger side axle on the driver side and vice versa); but this might be a solution for EP3 axle use for Kswaps in legacy chassis's. I'd steer clear of using the EP3 passenger side axle as is tho. Its only useful for the inner and outer joints w/the tripod bearings. The shaft length is terrible for k-swap use.
