Hey i have a 96 honda civic hatch (ek) and im in the process of doing an LS swap with a GSR tranny. I bought the hasport motor mounts "ekstk" but i ran into some problems test fitting the mount on the driver side, the one that goes on the timing belt side. The holes on the hasport mount seem about 1 cm further apart of where they should line up with the bolts on the engines bolts. do i have to force the bolt on the engine further apart to fit the mount? or is there some kind of bracket i have to buy?

my second ? is for the bracket that bolt up to back of the tranny. I was just wonering if i use the GSR one for this... I would have tried it already but i have a GSR engine hanging in a car by two mounts and i figured i could ask b4 i do it and it ends up not working.

and my last ? has to do with the bracket that bolts to the tranny on the side, the one on the passanger side. I took the bracket off of my old tranny (the one from the 96 dx tranny) and it bolted up fine to the GSR tranny but im wondering if this will work when i drop the engine in the car.

thanks in advance

can anyone point me the right way? or maybe has an ls swap in an ek with hasport motor mounts they could snap some pictres of so i can c what im missing? I can figure out the second n third question by trial and error but i would apreciate the help on the first question

You need to change the driver side post mounts to a 99 civic si.. (those 2 long screws that point upwards for the engine mounts)

You also need to change the rear transmission bracket mounts to a 99 civic si.. (looks like a shorter version of your gsr L or T bracket mount)

thanks a lot man! its my first swap and i just kind of went into it without much research, i keep running into problems but i usually find a way around it but i had no clue about the brackets. I think i read something like that but i was thinking they were talking about the mounts not the brackets. are these relatively expensive?

they're about $60 each... you can find them anywhere

99 civic si rear tranny (well actually this is a gsr) sorry for posting up but you need to replace this one:

lol, I am doing the exact same swap in my car(LS w/ GSR tranny into EK w/ hasport mounts) and I was also confused, really helped me out, thanks for posting this. But what about the passenger side motor mount bracket? Does the D-series one fit or does it also have to be off an 99-00 si?

they are the same, well the top trans mount is the same

the bottom trans mount is different for b and d series transmissions

just found this in another thread, about what mounts to use, and Im kinda confused

99 civic si rear engine bracket
honda pn#-50827-S04-N10
-96-00 Civic(all models) manual upper tranny bracket
-96-00 Civic(all models) driver side upper engine bracket
-99-00 Civic si driver side engine mount(2 bolt pattern mount bolted on block behind timing cover) honda pn#-11910-P30-000
-94-01 integra or 99-00 civic si manual passenger side transmission vibration mount(3 bolt pattern)
-94-01 Integra driver side block vibration mount(4 bolt pattern, ac comp mounts to this mount)
Hope this helps
