Ok question for the swap....
Can I use xr2 cv axles and the halfshaft assembly with aspire hubs?
Are they the same spline count and size?
Are they the correct legnth?

Just noticed something.

Are you using the F series transmission? If so, those axles and half shaft won't work. Those are for a G series. F series transmissions don't use a half shaft, they use unequal length axles. For an F series trans, you want N/A Capri or N/A 323 axles.

no im gunna use a g series form a xr2 capri. i have the halfshaft already now i just have to buy the axles and clutch. and have the block and head worked over. ive already purchased every part for the rebuid and will post pics late this week when everything arrives! im excited as hell to do this swap!!

[JPT]

I'm interested to see what you do for mounts. Take lots of pics.

[1988festivazoom]

its gunna be all solid mounted on the trans side. the only crappy part is i gotta cut my festy up on the "frame" to fit the g series. im gunna cut and box it all in and then actually use the 3rd mount on top of the trans.

you dont have to cut frame with b6t/g series combo

[1988festivazoom]

oh i thought u did? or is that just with the bp swap??

[skimsucka]

just bp cause all the 1.8 blocks are wider by inch and half

[1988festivazoom]

well that makes me happy as hell!!! that was the on \e thing i wasant looking forward to doing!

You don't need to cut the frame rail with the BP and a G series trans. That what I have and no need to cut and box.

Ok well that will make things a lot simpler. I've been reading the sticky about the b6t wiring and its totally a skew! I'm using a capri harness.... and the one thing I don't understand is the sport compact site did it goofy, they say to use the capri/323 fuel relay. Dosent make sense to me. If there is one weak point of my knowledge it would be wiring. The colors of the wires they describe is vauge bc they don't say what harness they are refering too.

Don't follow the Sport Compact one, I got nothing useful out of it. Once you start doing the wiring everything will start falling in place and you will understand it, I read it many times before starting and couldn't figure anything out without actually doing it. Just follow Chris' guide.

Pm me if you need help.

[1988festivazoom]

Thanks for the info I will be following chris's swap guide! That one seemes to make a lot more sense anyways.
