wheel hub

[85manw/a plan]

Ok so I put an 88 accord trany in my 85 accord and now Im having trouble with the wheel hubs I just order a set of 85 sei cv shafts and wheel bearings. is there an other car like the 85 sei that have the exactly the same wheel hub ? help me !!!!!

[Ichiban]

Huh? What kind of trouble with the hubs? You need to be more specific.

[85manw/a plan]

the spilne section on the trany and wheel hub, will the 85 sei model CV shafts match up with the spline on an 88 model trany and 88 model wheel hubs?yes they will, I tryed them alrealdy.although I might need new wheel hub b/c the 85 sei cv shafts will go into one of the hub(the drivers side),but the pasinger side won't go in. Im taking about the hub them self. can I also use 85 sei wheel bearing on an 88 model wheel hub ?

[Ichiban]

The Se-i axles should not fit into either of the front hubs, they use the larger spline of the 3rd gen or Si preludes.

It is all explained in the 2g FAQ. There's only 3, it shouldn't be hard to find.

[Ichiban]

Oh shit, there's four now...sorry.

[85manw/a plan]

then how come the the drives side hub fit into the sei cv shaft ?????

[2ndGenGuy]

So lets recap:

You have a 3g tranny.
You have 85 SE-i Axles, which pop right into the 3g tranny.

What you need is the 85 SE-i hubs to make everything to together.

Although, what you're saying is that the 85 SE-i drivers-side shaft fits into the standard 85 drivers-side hub?

[85manw/a plan]

no they fit into 88 wheel hub that i got in the junk yard which are not install. I ll order some sei wheel hub they cost 70-80 dollars do u guys think that is a good price?? also can I put the whole Steering knuckles of the 85 sei on my 85 2.5 accord???

[2ndGenGuy]

The 86-89 wheel hubs should have the same splines as the 85 SEi, so that's why it works.

Yeah the steering knuckles will swap right across from the SEi to the other 2.5g Accords.

[Ichiban]

A few facts:

-86-89 hubs have the same internal spline as the Se-i, but completely different outside dimensions than the Se-i, or standard 2nd gen hubs. They will not interchange with any 2gen bearing swap. The knuckles will not mount to any 2gen car.

-Se-i bearings have the same inside and out dimensions as Prelude Si bearings, I believe that the hubs themselves are the same.

-Se-i/Prelude Si and standard accord bearings have the same outer dimensions, thus they may interchange. The inner diameter is larger, to allow the larger OD'd and splined hub to fit.

If you are going to use Se-i axles and bearings to adapt a 3gen tranny, you need:

-Se-i axles
-Se-i/prelude Si bearings, and hubs

If one of your 3gen hubs fit the shaft and the other one doesn't, either:
-you got one wrong shaft from the parts store
-you got one wrong hub from the wrecker
-the hub or spline shaft is damaged

As I said above, 3gen hubs won't fit the 2gen bearing/knuckle setup.
You need ACCORD SE-i (85) or PRELUDE SI bearings and hubs. There's even part numbers in the FAQ,

THIS WAS ALL EXPLAINED PREVIOUSLY HERE:https://www.3geez.com/forum/showthrea...557#post609557

I need help I need to find some type of power up(horse power) that I can put on my 2.5; I found a lot of perlude in a local junk yard but don't know if parts interchange their was :the perlude I saw was a 2.0 and another one the w the hood like mine ???
I want to go faster !!!!!!!!!!!!

[Ichiban]

Well, the easiest way to ~100 hp is to swap in a twin carb engine from an 83-88 prelude, it will bolt right up to your mounts and tranny. I do believe you can swap just the head, intake and exhaust, but there is some debate here as to whether the ET2 (prelude) head will work with the ES2 (accord) block. As they are from the same family and displacement, i can't see why not. It would be safest to swap the entire engine though. If you want to take the long way around and make 120 hp, you can drop in the engine/tranny (A20A3) from an 88-89 accord, and convert your car to EFI. You will need the entire wiring harness/computer from the donor car.

hey will the 83-88 prelude steering knuckle swap over to my 85 2.5 accord ????
c/ i order some sei knuckle but i got the same one I have already,so im screw, I feel like going all the way across the country and exchanging a some words w/ that salvage yard!!!!!

[PhydeauX]

No, the prelude knuckles won't fit. You need to press the hubs and bearings out, then press them into the 2g knuckles. Just about any auto shop should be able to do it.

[Ichiban]

be sure to go with new wheel bearings. The part numbers are in the aforementioned FAQ.

[85manw/a plan]

ok SO I finally got the right steering knucks but and got my cv half shaft in. the hole left side of the car is done but I will need a wheel hub bearing on the other side. The ones I got are bad, but what you can expect from a salvage yard .I should soon in 2 days.

Y'all think I will get higher or lower gear ratio

[85manw/a plan]

Im done

[2ndGenGuy]

So how is it? You've got the A20 tranny on the ES2? How do you like the ratios? Are they about the same? I take it you went with the SEi hub and axles? Just not 100% sure at this point.

[85manw/a plan]

it great . yep its an es2 w an A20 tranny. to tell the truth I feel nothing has changed the gear ratios to me it feels the same maby it b/c I haven't driven it in a year. you are correct as I was puting the passenger side axle in I forgot that I had order it for an 88 accord. had to go to work and get the right one (Auto Zone).

[2ndGenGuy]

Congrats dude. I think you're the first person to actually confirm the axle / hub swap works.

[85manw/a plan]

Thank you but to tell the truth it was a pain in the ass. i switch over the hubs and cv half shafts of an sei, all thanks to auto zone, advance auto and carquest. to bad I didn't take pix. hey is there a code in the trany "E2Q6 -1096518" what does it mean?

[85manw/a plan]

I want to thank all of you for your help in fixin' My 85 accord!!!!
thax alot
