My synopsis of that whole confusing thread:
If you have an EG and want to do an ITR Hub swap you will need to do this. I will separate it by front and rear setups:
Front:
There are a few choices here They mostly depend on what you're doing with your engine.
If you're going with D or B series (32mm axles):
You'll need 92-95 Civic EX knuckles. Or any 94-01 Integra knuckles.
Parts to buy:
98-01 USDM ITR Front wheel hubs with bearings (32mm)
98-01 USDM ITR Calipers with brackets
98-01 USDM ITR Brake Lines
98-01 USDM ITR Rotors
98-01 USDM ITR Pads
There are other parts made by Honda that are the same on other cars but I won't confuse you by listing all of them.
Simply press out the old hub and press the new one in. Bolt everything up and you're done.
If you're going with K series (36mm axles):
You can find used CR-V (1st Gen) knuckles which are the same part as the JDM ITR ones. They also have 36mm hubs making it
easy to use RSX-S axles in your K swap.
If you can't find those knucles, you'll need 92-95 Civic EX knuckles. Or any 94-01 Integra knuckles.
Parts to buy:
1st Gen CR-V Front wheel hubs with bearings (36mm)
98-01 USDM ITR Front calipers with brackets
98-01 USDM ITR Front brake Lines
98-01 USDM ITR Front rotors
98-01 USDM ITR Front pads
Bolt everything up and you're done.
Rear:
This part is harder and I don't really agree with the method.
The ITR rear spindle is not sold separately that I can't find. This raises a problem since the ITR rear spindle is 5mm langer than or Civic/Integra spindles. The user that 'engineered' this swap came up with this solution:
This will not work with rear drums. You need to already have rear discs on your car.
Parts to buy:
98-01 USDM ITR Rear wheel hubs with bearings
98-01 USDM ITR Rear calipers with brackets (Nissin 9CLP14S)
98-01 USDM ITR Rear brake Lines
98-01 USDM ITR Rear rotors
98-01 USDM ITR Rear pads
93-02 Mazda 626 or Protege Axle Nuts
There are other parts made by Honda that are the same on other cars but I won't confuse you by listing all of them.
Remove the old hub off of the spindle. Discard the washer behind the nut. Install the new hub and install the Mazda axle nut. This nut is shorter and along with the removal of the washer make it possible to thread the nut on. However, the nut doesn't thread on enough to punch in the key. You must tack weld the spindle to the nut to hold it in place.
Bolt everything up and you're done.
I Think everything in the front is pretty straight forward. It is the back that gets me. I can't trust a welded nut. It is something I would always worry about.
