I got the HASPORT axles for k series engines in to EG and EK and I thought some people might be interested in this.




The axles with the tags are the EK k20a ones.

The GSR Axles I am sure you can tell since they are old.

 

Good comparo.

Did you get the standard or the high hp ones.

 

Stage 1

Notice how one gsr=one ek and the other GSR=one EG

 

Is the lengths of them different because the Hasport mount kit doesnt centre the motor in the engine bay?? I run GSR axles in my K20EG swap and havent had any problems at all, So far the car has done 50+ runs down the 1/4 and a few high speed runs down the road, To think every-one said that they would either break or fall out.... not yet.. Fingers crossed it never happens..

 

Seems to me that the only difference between the hasport eg k20a axles and the gsr axles is that the passenger side inner joint (i guess driverside with the k20 axles) has a slightly long spline. Do the gsr axles snap right into the tranny diff?

 

dunno I used K20A inner CV's and the GSR driveshafts.. that way there wasnt any problems.. If the car was to low it might cause a problem but on 15" wheels the car sits with the wheels just up in the guards and I dont have any problems... I notcied the splines etc looked longer on the Hasport driveshafts, my query would be what do the factory K20A shafts look like compared to the rest.... Bet they look alomst the same as the GSR ones...

 

The male splines on all K-series are longer than the GSR splines.

The inner joints of the Type R and S are similar to that of the H22 powered cars. The EP joint isn't quite as beefy, but the splines are the same.

EP and GSR axles are similar in dimension with the exception of the splines of the male inner joint. The EP has longer ones like all K-series.

The picture is a little misleading because the axles are not compressed the same as you can see by the boots. You should compress all the axles so that the comparison is more accurate.

A good comparison would be to add a set of Type R and Type S axles too so you get the whole picture of the differences.

The Hasport kit does not center the engine, it fudges it to one side on the EK by half an inch to maximize the clearance with the rear crossmember. That in turn maximizes the ground clearance and radiator clearance.

Thanks for clearing that up Brian. I did notice they compress differently.

 

From the axle lengths it looks like Hasport moves the K20 more towards the passengers side for the EG and more towards the driver side on the EK.It could just be because of the compression of the boots though.

 

Good info.

What's the going rate for the K20/EG axles?
