Can someone tell me all the mounts that I need to use for this swap into a 96-98 hatch. Can I use the rear L shaped bracket that comes off the back of the transmission (closest to the firewall) from the Crv? Can I use an integra gsr rear mount bracket because I have one of those. Also On the top of the tranny there is a bracket that is used for the mount on the frame. Can I use the crv bracket? Will a 99-00 civic bracket work. I know I have alot of questions but my engine is dangling in the engine bay right now some I need to know asap. Thanks.

i dont have a clue on whether you can use what crv mounts where, although
from DevinW, he said he used the crv driver side top mount without a problem.

_I_ used the front lower tranny mount, rear "L" tranny bracket along with the driver side mount all from a 99-00 si. The upper passenger side tranny mount was all stock civic. The A/C compressor bracket i was able to use the CRV mount and bolt up my DX compressor no problem. Hope that helps a little.

The best thing to use are 99-00 Si mounts & brackets. But depending on which B20 longblock you got, you'll have either one of the 2 brackets above on the timing belt side.... for the EK chassis, you need to use the one on the left.

I have a 99 b20z. So I can't use the L shaped bracket in the rear from this crv?

Newman

You need to use the 99-00 Civic Si rear tranny bracket, just like for any other B-series swap into an EK chassis. The B20 rear tranny bracket is designed for the CRV/Orthia auto tranny and won't work.

ok thanks for the info.

u would also need the two front lower brackets from a 99-00 si

Uh no, I DID use the one on the left, and it pushed the block downward. The one for EK's is on the right.

Ok I finally got the beast in. It was actually pretty easy especially since this time it was daylight. Well I removed the mount from the frame on the tranny side and left the bracket on the tranny, which I got from a 99 si. I also removed the bracket from the top driverside mount. With a little work the engine finally went in. This is the weird part. I went to a shop to pick up the rear L shaped bracket from a 99 Si and when I got it back home I compared it to the CRV bracket and it looked exactly the same. So all the while I was trippin about the bracket it appears to be the same as the Si one. Everything is chillin in the engine bay now.
