What's up everyone? Aight I found me the famous type R engine for cheap. The only problem is It doesnt come with the axles. So does that mean I've got to do a conversion with my 94' acura integra since it is a four lug and the R is a five lug or can I just use the axles from my car. Da** those five lug conversions are expensive Thanks alot!

 

you may need new axles(not for sure) but I know it shouldnt matter about the lugs, they are on the hubs, not the axles. As long as the axles are a correct fit into your hubs, you may only need axles. Call a part store and ask if they got axles for the current configuration, then ask if they got axles for the type R config. and see if the part # is different.once u have proper axles, see if the axle is a proper fit. hope that helped!

 

u dont need the suspension conversion if all youre interested is in the engine swap.

 

you can use the stock axles

 

You can just change the bolts on the hub from stock to i bolts made by APR or something like that, they are suppose to be alot stronger. I know a guy that did that because he swap a prelude motor in to a 92 civic hatch and he still has 4 bolt, total sleeper lol

 

stock axles. Same part #.

 

So factory axles are good to go, huh? Then why do all these people do the five lug conversion? Just to say that they got it and u don't?

 

pretty much yes. It's a show thing really.

 

that and also certain rims are made in 5 lug pattern
mostly its an aesthetic thing though
