b18c2 vtir gearbox with itr lsd....help me plz

hey guys..
as some of u may know, i have a b18c2 vtir complete conversion ready for my ek1...

however, i have purchased a itr lsd and am having difficulty getting the answers i need regarding installation........
my question to u people is...........
when i strip the vtir gear box and remove the stock open wheeler diff, is it as simple as just taking off the ring gear/final drive and re-fitting it to the itr lsd and re-installing the lsd diff to the box???
or
are there measurements/clearances of some sort that are required to be done before installation??

thanks heaps for anyones help....

anyone????????

im pretty sure its a straight swap in and out.

id suggest u check the bearings and other things u might like to freshen up while the box is out and apart.

you also need to check the clearances for the shims and re-shim if its not within allowances.

you might also like to check the run out - though its a factory honda item so it should be fine.

I have done this on my B18c2 box.
Its a simple drop in and change-over.
The B18c2 FD is the same size as a B18c7 FD.

The only one that has an issue is the b16 box, hence why i changed by b16 box for a b18 box

thanks for all ur responses..........

hopefully it all goes well in the next week or so, and i will do the change over and then install into my ek

not that I have a B18 but post pics if possible. may help people in future who are looking at doing the same thing. I'm also inquisitive ;)

Does the MFactory 4.7 FD fit in the B18C2 gear box?

sorry....but.....doesnt the b18c2 standard gearbox have tapered diff bearings - the ITR diff has sealed or non-sealed flat faced bearings.

So it cannot have an aftermarket final drive put in?

I was looking at this:-

so the only difference for the type R and vtir box is the LSD, or type R gearbox mean to be stronger than vtir oneS?

'98 spec Type R comes with a 4.7 final drive and different gearing

Oh you sell MFactory products... so can the MFactory final drive 4.7 fit the stock B18C2 gear box?

We have Final Drives for various types of Honda Transmissions and yes, we have one that will fit the B18C box

Could you please let me know the price and which model fits the B18C2.

PM me if you don't want the whole world to know your stock and prices...

so no one has answered my question yet, and i havnt had the time to strip my b18c2 gear box and see if my itr lsd (b18c7) will fit...

I think post number 4 is on the right track.
