its been forever but i got a lil time to get the rear end LSD retrofit finished. i have pics and im gunna do a lil DIY on how i did mine. I dont work today hopefully (yes im a lazy american) so i should get some time to tinker with it and the 4dr. its 3:45 AM i should be leaving the house for work but i gotta wait till i hear from the boss dam him.
not gunna do a step by step but if u cant take it apart then dont even try.
keep things in order and be sure to save your old bearing cups u will have to re-use them
on your LSD your gunna have to have a machine shop drill the holes out larger since u wont be using the left handed threads anymore. this will forever ruin the LSD so theres no going back.
install new bearings
and your gunna have to grind a bit off the heads of the bolts holding the ring gear on or it will run into the diff case. and re-use the stock bearing cups me nor jaker have been able to get the cups. another idea would be to get a thicker shim if u can find or make one.
What diff are you using? I don't recall having to grind down the bolt heads. Then I did assemble the diff almost 2 years ago, so my memory might be failing me.
yeah i had to make them shorter becasue the flange that u bolt the ring gear to is thicker. the ring gear sits in the same position so thats all good. if i were anal i would had my buddy turn it down till it was as this as the stock diff but im sure this is gunna work fine.
so charb and i can roll to the meet in a wagon and not my big ass truck or the womans fake em1 i have been givin her some attention. last night i got the engine alomost all ready to be put back in just gotta run vtec wires and put the starter on. also got the breather tank mounted just need a few fittings to hook it up proper. it wont be boosted just NA but ill just be happy to have it on the road hopefully next week during my vacation. also stripped the red rotas to paint them white. ill post pics tomarrow im just bored and wanted to bring up my not so thrilling build thread up.
Nice build turbo_teg. Quick question, how much difference was it using the EP rear discs rather than any 90-00 civic or 90-01 integra rear discs? I tried looking for a link specific to the wagons but haven't come up with anything as of yet. I saw where you said it was a little bit easier and since I'm gonna be tackling my rear discs soon, anything that makes it easier will be appreciated, lol.
they are larger in diameter which helps get them farther from the trailing arm so u dont have as bad of a clearence issue. they are working but i need to get some DA E-brake cables and it will be finished.
got my wheels back from my buddy. not the best quality job but they will do for now.
I should spend a few hours tonight gettin the motor finished and ready to go in but im fuggin pooped. spent all day swapping injectors and installing a new intake manifold and intake plenum on my truck 43 lbs of boost on the stock turbo and smoke so thick i can make cars disapear behind me....

i'll have to try something like this to fix my bent support (thanks city towing).
thanx the EP3 rotors helped make some room in the rear to hopefully run some E-brake cables someday.
I used a 3" cut off wheel and a sawzall
Looks like you're making some good headway!

11'' rotors?
I believe its an OBX i got it from another member like a year ago.
I don't think its the diameter of the head its the heighth. Socket head "heads" are usually taller than regular bolts.
Nice idea. My teg needs this fix too.
this is the parts car im currently workin on getting some parts off of. also building a shed so time is scarce!
