b-series motor in EK (mounts question)
ive searched for posts about what mounts to use when swapping a b-series motor into an EK. some people say just the driver side and rear 99-00 SI mounts, others say those two and the tranny mount as well, and some people just advise to get the hasport kit.
i looked up the mounts on http://www.hondapartsforcheap.com and I could get all the mounts for $219.. this would include the rear, driver side, tranny, and right and left front mounts.. is this necessary?
i was considering it because im tired of the confusion and thought it may be a safe just to get all of them.. plus i think theyre cheaper than the Hasport kit.
Any thoughts? or can anyone officially clear up the confusion?

get the drivers side bracket (the part that bolts to the block) from a 99si, and get the rear tranny bracket from a 99 si. Everything else on the motor will be from the integra everything on the car will be stock (rubber mounts) check my sig if you need more

You do not need an aftermarket mount kit to put a B Series motor into an EK, so forget about HASport. You need the driver's side mount bracket from a 99-00 Si, just the mount bracket. Your stock mount will be reused. You need the rear tranny mount bracket from a 99-00 Si, again just the bracket and you'll reuse your stock mount. You can reuse your stock upper tranny mount. The front tranny dampening mount needs to be 99-00 Si or 94-01 Integra, same applies to A/C bracket if you are only using it as the dampening mount. If you want to retain A/C then you need a Del Sol VTEC A/C bracket.

Re: b-series motor in EK (Wazup)
i just did this swap in my ek coupe...
all u need is 99-00 si rear tranny mount and 99-00 si drivers side motor bracket...
after those things, eveyrhting should go smoothly...wiring was hell though cause we used my old ex harness so we had to extend some wires and stuff...but besides that everything was good..
