Now i have your attention. Im swapping a b16a3 into my ek and im having some difficulties with dropping the motor onto the mounts. I ordered some avid mounts and so far all the mounts fit except for the driverside. its not lining up.....Need some feedback!

You will probably have to play around loosening them up and adjusting them from there before tightening everything down.

The mount on your motor is the problem.
Not the avid mount.

EJ6_OB

what would you suggest me switching it to?

EJ6_OB

tried that but its still pushing out too far on the driver side....so far i came to the conclusion that it might even be the back mount that is causing the engine to push out too far?

Check for another B series mount B18B i think.
Its easy to tell how your bolt pattern should line up. The one on the engine now sits too far forward and resembles a B18A mount.

Hmm... :\

i'll probably stop by honda dealership tomorrow and order the 99-00 SI bracket instead to see if it fits.

EJ6_OB

Would it be safe to reuse my D series driver side mount instead?

Pull it off and see if it lines up.
Dont go to the dealer, hit up a junkyard and take the avid mount with you.

you won't find it at a junkyard use the em1 post and t bracket they where designed for your engine bay .

EJ6_OB

already have the T-bracket installed on..guess the only one im missing is the em1 post mount. found one on craigslist for 35. picking up tomorrow
