ive been searchin around this board for a while to answer some questions about swapping a 94-95 GSR motor (obd1) into my 92 civic LX. Ive learned A LOT, but i still have a few questions if you guys can help me out. first of all, what kind of axles do i need for this swap? next, has anyone out there done business with osaka motors? im thinking of going with them cuz they have the best prices i can find for the best deal. also, they said they would throw the shift linkage in as well with the engine. if anyone has any info on doin business with them and how it turned out, that would be awesome. next, will i need a new, bigger radiator to run this engine or is the stock civic one ok. and my last question, is there anything else i will need to buy to do this swap with the exception of the axles? thanks a lot guys, i appreciate your help.

 

That has been covered since this forum has been up so just search a little harder. :thumbup:

 

You will need a complete set of B-series axle's. I'm not sure if you can use automatic axle's from an LS engine or not, but I'd stick with the B-series VTEC units if you can find them. There are 3 pieces to B-series axle's. The passanger side just has a standard axle that goes from the tranny to the hub. The driver side has a half-shaft that goes from the tranny to a hard mounted connector that bolts to the back of the block. There is an axle that goes between that piece and the hub. You'll need all 3. You will also need B-series shift linkage, so make sure you get it.

Sorry, I've never had any dealings with Osaka. Did they give you a reason that axle's weren't included? Just curious. Unless your getting a fantastic deal, you might consider somewhere else. If your doing this swap yourself and it's your first swap, make it easier on yourself and get everything complete. It can get real expensive and very frustrating hunting for parts when your not even really sure what your looking for. Good luck. Seeya.
