can you put type-r hubs on a 4th gen?

[red_civic_dx]

does any one know if this can be done...nevermind the price ...i just wanted to konw if there was a 92-95 type-r made and if so could you swap out the necessary parts to transfer over to a 4th gen?

forgive me if this is a stoopid question....

[marked001]

well, there wasnt a 92-95 type r made... (dont know what that has to do with a 88-91 anyway)..first year of the type r was 97 I believe...in the us anyway... I've seen 5 lug conversions on 88-91s though..so its doable.

[Marc-OS]

It's been done, but like Marked said, only with the newer(ish) Type Rs. I know you don't care about the price, but I'd just like to say that it's way more than it's worth unless you get the parts for free.

[red_civic_dx]

that were 92-95 body style?

im only asking because had this crazy i dea but hey it doesnt hurt to have crazy ideas...

one more thing....dx axles and Si axles are not the same as far as the splines are concerned right?

there were no 92-95 type r's....

dx and si axles are the same...

[red_civic_dx]

if the axles for theses cars are the same are the gear rations also the same ?

i have an SI tranny in my garage and the stock d15 in my 4 door dx ....im goint to yank the old d15 and put in the ZC...

[marked001]

I believe the final drives are what's different between the two trannies..not 100% sure that's it though.

[crxlvr]

the gear ratios were not the same, it has nothing to do with spline count on the axels either.

[91civicDXdude]

the gear ratios on DX and Si trannies are 100% the same, except for the final drive. the DX has a 3.88 final drive, whereas the Si has a 4.25 final drive.

i forget whats better a 3.88 final drive or the 4.25...what are the advantages and disadvantages for both?

thanks for you help !!!!!!

Really? I personally think that the 5 lug, or even the 4 lug (I beleive its 4X114.3 or something.. It won't fit a civic) from the ITRs is usually a pretty good upgrade for the cost. Think if you have a DX with rear drums and 13" steelies and you need wheels. Here in Ontario things aren't as expensive as there, but I usually see the 5 lug conversions going for like $2200ish.. It seems good to me.. You get bigger brakes, usually sway bars and upgraded master cyl., and nice light 15" Honda wheels. For around the price as a good set of rims, you also get the brakes and suspension upgrades too..

I would totally do it if I had a newer Civic. (92+)
