Question...

Will a D16Y8 bolt right into an EM1 without modification to mounts?

Let me rephrase the original question...

Can I drop a B16A2 into a '99 Civic EX without using a mount kit?

This question should only be answered with a statement. You cannot answer with another question (i.e. why would you put a D in an Si chassis?). =P

Just keep in mind that a fully built D with a big ole snail hangin' off the front of it will walk all over a lightly modded B...

I KNOW THE NEEDED PARTS TO COMPLETE A SWAP/INSTALL

you will ned to modify more than just mounts. the whole bay is for a
B, axels and all...

good luck with a fully built d if your unsure where to put it...............



lol

Ha, it's coming out of my totalled EJ8, goober face...

EX-T

Ha! Is that right!? Then how come you can pull out a D from an EX, get some Hasport mounts and it goes right in. The B that is.

Of course using the B axles and tranny.

i dont see how that is possible, i have a 5gen and needed axels to complete my swap. why would 6gen be different?

You're going to need the D series mounts out of your old car + shift linkage use your 99-00 D series harness since the dizzy plug is different and of course axles, and D series radiator as B series radiators have a thicker neck. and that's it.

Em1 and ej8 chassis basically the same, except for the rear disc brakes, darker interior, and b16.

EX-T

Ha! Hammer, so you were under the assumption that I was gonna drop a D16Y8 engine and head into an EM1, bolt the B16 tranny to it, use the B axles and call it a day?! Ha, if you thought so!! This isn't my first rodeo.

ej1love

yeah, guess i read that wrong. i just woke up.

ej1serge

should drop right in

EX-T

So the mounting points inside the engine bay are identical between the EJ8 and EM1.. (tranny mount to frame rail, engine mount to frame rail and rear engine mount)

EX-T

It's all good homie! Mornin' to ya!!! =P
