Re: motor mounts
its a full match up. B series mounts on a B series motor. The motor is going to be moving the relative amount of a GSR swap. Vibration should be at a minimum and performance shouldn't be a big set-back.

Re: motor mounts
I too have a Type R engine in my 1992 CX hatch, and here's the mounts you'll need - assume donor vehicle is a 5-speed just to be safe:
Timing side engine mount bracket that bolts to the block - 94-01 Integra (any model), 94-97 Del Sol VTEC
Timing side engine mount - 94-01 Integra, 94-97 Del sol VTEC, or if Civic (usually 94/95 Si/EX) has aluminum mount it can be used too
Rear t-bracket - 94-01 Integra (any model), 94-97 Del Sol VTEC
Rear mount itself that bolts to cross member - 92-95 Civic or 94-01 Integra
Topside tranny mount/bracket - 92-95 Civic or 94-01 Integra
Front transmission bracket (three bolt holes on tranny) - 94-01 Integra, 94-97 Del sol VTEC, 99-00 Civic Si
Right front lower mount that bolts under right frame rail - 92-95 Civic
A/C bracket - if not keeping A/C 94-01 Integra, if you want to keep A/C use 97 CR-V or 94-97 Del Sol VTEC bracket
A/c mount that bolts to underside of left frame rail - 92-95 Civic
I've bolded the two frame rail mounts because using Integra ones doesn't work as well. The mounts won't sit flush with the frame rails, so you're left using longer bolts and washers. Do yourself a favor and use the Civic mounts there.
As far as stifness, losing power to the wheels, etc. I've ran two different 92 Civics with B swaps for 6+ years (one of them now for 8+ years) and one had completely stock mounts, while the other has Energy suspension inserts in the two front lower mounts and rear mount only.
If it's a daily driven car and you're keeping A/C, etc. then keep stock mounts. Inserts add vibration at idle, and HASpost mounts are just too buzzy IMO. I daily drive a 1990 Civic with the aftermarket mounts (no option to use OEMs) and I'd much rather have stockers if I could. The beauty of doing any 92-00 Civic swap is it can still remain 100% civil. My mom could ride/drive my old B swapped 1992 Si with stock mounts and never say a word about it. She rod in my wagon with poly mounts and asked if something was wrong because of the buziness.

Re: motor mounts
I just used the side Hasports and a stock rear on my old GSR swap and had no driveability problems and no vibration. Also launched pretty good without wheel hop.

Re: motor mounts
It's been a good while since I've done an EK swap, but I'm pretty sure you'll want 99-00 Civic Si mounts pretty much everywhere for that swap. I know for a fact the timing side bracket/mount is 100% different as is the rear T bracket.

Well, what mounts are you using?
A bump after 5 minutes?
