I have a 96 ex coupe and just put in a jdm 98 spec b18c-r. ive done everything else to make the motor a perfect swap other than deciding on what axles to use. i put the ones from the actual integra that it came from and it still seems to be bout an inch short. the axles are not popping out or anything but are pulled apart and i can tell they are going bad due to vibration and grease from boot. this is twice now that i changed them. can any one help me out with this. dont tell me i need to do research or whatever cause trust me on i did plenty. also have heard that maybe it could be because of it being the jdm spec of the b18. if anyone can tell me what axles to get or even where to go so i can measure my self and get customs ones.

 

First off, have you really done research? I did ONE google search and came up with this:

And as far as I know, the engine being from Japan shouldn't make any difference at all...

Maybe someone with some first hand experience with this can chime in?

 

i already knew what years is suppose the work cause they are all the same axle. just in my car they are coming up bout an inch short so i actually have to stretch the boot just so the splines go all the way through so i can put the nut on the axle. i just ordered a set of performance ones to see if maybe they are a tad longer cause usually oem sucks when it comes to axles. thx again

 

are you sure that you have the correct intermediate shaft for the axles you are using?
