Hey gguys need a little help here, I got done installing a B16A2 into my EK hatch and it is doing great except for a bad engine shake. It is most noticable pulling hard through third and fourth gear, and is worst going through the 40-50 mph area. I have checked and double checked the motor mounts and they seem fine so now I am stumped.

Possible ideas that I had:

#1- Axles- not sure if this can cause a shake but the passenger axle was really hard to install?
#2- little torque mount for AC- the rubber is a bit torn but it was the same on the EG I got the motor out of and it had no shake?

Any help is greatly appreciated, I need to get this taken care of it feels like the motor is gonna rip out of the car

sounds like axles to me, this happened to my B16 ef and it would vibrate only while I accelerated and it turns out that the axles were to long.

Was the vibation severe? I am thinking that axles could be the problem also, is there any way that I can check the axles besides just buying new ones and installing them?

Do you know off hand which axles I would use? 99-00 SI ones I assume

A little more info here maybe it will help :

Everything worked perfectly in the EG that the motor was pulled from.

All the mounts are nice and tight.

I just removed bnoth axles and reinstalled them.
