Hi there!!

Doing an EG/K20 swap, and what I have read about axles probably OEM axles would hold up best.

As I live in Sweden we don’t have the RSX here so I wonder if the EP3 have the same axles as the RSX?

And what I understand about the OEM axles is that I need one pair of RSX/EP3 axles and one pair of DC2 axles, with some labour to make it fit, right??

 

[nikos]

Yes, exactly.

When are you doing the swap? I

 

[TODA]

Thx

Will start the build up as soon as i have sold my current beater and found a donator EG.
Must praise this forum, its just great!!!

Basically, you are going to replace the part of the ep3 axles that connects to the eg wheel with the b series one and add the K series outer hub on the other b series axle.

You might have problems getting the ep3 to fit directly. In that case you are going to have to try the prelude/h22/h23 shafts.

Also consider buying them from here as well. It cost me $120 to ship a set of axles to australia form here... + the cost of the axles... So figure around $500 shipped to you for hasport/hybrid racinf or profab axles.

There is an article that will appear around june/july in honda tuning magazine. Once it is not sold anymore, I will post the complete article in here. Meanwhile, ask me whatever questions you have. I can help you but cannot post pics publically before they appear on the magazine.

nikos that was a little confusing... by hub did you mean outer cv joint????
confused....

 

[nikos]

Yes, that is what I mean.

Do You Have To Change Both Of The Axles Or Just One. If Just One Which Side?

 

[quickek4]

will it matter what mount kit u use? (HR / Hasport)

 

[H2nr]

so you are saying..

complete passenger side axle = B series outer CV to the hub + K shaft + K inner CV to the intermediate shaft

complete drive side axle = B series outer to the hub + H22 shaft + K inner CV into the tranny

 

[aznboysrfr]

ok, so base RSX axles are EXACTLY the same as the EP3?

how about Type S axles? ... are those the same as the EP3? ... and 04+ ep3 axles? ... the same?

manual, auto axles = the same? ... (sorry for the millions of questions, but I'm gonna be needing axles very soon and I only know that ep3 axles will work for my em2, but I wanna be able to use alternatives if I can't find ep3 ones)

 

[nikos]

Here is something I got from the manual

 

[H2nr]

complete drive side axle = B series outer to the hub + H22 shaft + K inner CV into the tranny

?????

 

[nikos]

for EK yes. FOr EG, no need for the h22 shaft.

 

[H2nr]

so you are saying H22 shafts on both side not just the driver side

 

[nikos]

so you are saying H22 shafts on both side not just the driver side

No.


for EK with hasport mounts
drivers side- stock k series inner hub, and shaft, with outter b series hub.
pass side- stock b series outter hub, prelude shaft(92+), k series inner.


for EG with hasport mounts (no prelude axle needed)
drivers side- stock k series inner hub, and shaft, with outter b series hub.
pass side- stock b series outter hub, k series shaft and k series inner hub.

 

[H2nr]

No.

my bad man I read your last post wrong, thanks for making it clear

 

[nikos]

hey no prob.. that stuff I need to look up too... confusing

 

[jon v]

Nikos would this set up (k-H-B) axles work with the hybrid mounts as well or do you know?

 

[nikos]

I asked Will.. He said, they would need to get modified to fit... Who knows, they might fit if you know what I mean :wink:
