B16a JDM swap into 99 civic auto - mount bracket issue
Ok so this is one I have searched and searched and not found the answer to. Putting b16a in ek mounts wise side front all fine. The T bracket which is 99-00 civic si it's OEM from honda won't work on the ek. Now it's probably because were not using a manual transmission. It's a automatic on the b16. So with that being said which bracket do I need now ? Cause clearly b16a2 will not work. Thanks for your knowledge.

Re: B16a JDM swap into 99 civic auto - mount bracket issue
So after doing a little more outside the box research I did a car fax and found out my EK was in a accident and to the eye you can't tell but front end smashed and therefore my driver side alt pulley won't clear.
Solution:
For the driver side mount I simply used a air hammer. Problem solved.
T Bracket issue I just used me d16y8 T and for the fork style end. I simply saw zawed the metal in between the spot where bolt goes thru. It had a couple tack welds but I got right thru it. Also the gap on y8 T is about 1/4 inch shy of matching on motor so I just opened it up a little and bam .
Hitting dyno's hopefully 2-3 weeks.
