Hey guys.

Got a B18C motor out of an ek and I am intstalling it now into a 95 Integra.
My question is regarding the mounts...
I am using all the stock mounts and brackets that were on the integra (had an ls motor) except for the rear mount bracket it came with the new B18c motor. Now I am assuming it had a 99-00 SI mount bracket for it since you need it to install the GSR into the ek.

My question is do I have to switch the rear mount bracket to the stock ls bracket too or can I keep the rear SI mount bracket?

And if I switch it over if it needs to get switched will that let me bolt the motor up to the car or do I still have to do anything else to it?

And when installing a motor what mount/bracket bolt do you guys attach first?
Whats your process on it? do you attach the rear bracket to the subframe and then install all the mounts on the motor to the car and then install the rear bolts to the block or do you install the rear bracket to the motor and then install the bolt into the rear mount and then install all the mounts to the car???

Any help is appreciated guys.
P.S i did some searches but couldnt find definate answers specific to my question.

You need to put the LS tranny bracket on.

If you reuse all the ls mounts and brackets, the motor will bolt right in.

Personally, when I drop a motor in, I line up the rear tranny bracket first.
I have it loosely attatched the mount on the car, then line it up with the tranny as I lower it in.(it bolts to the tranny, not the block )

Team Rukus

thanks alot man.
got another question.
do you guys put the engine harness on the motor and then drop it in or attach the harness afterwards?

Slopoke

I, whenever possible, have the harness already on the motor when I drop it in.
Its just easier that way.

Team Rukus

oh okay.
cuz i did the same thing yesterday before i tried to drop the motor in but found that the ls harness i was using had extra sockets that i couldnt find a sensor to plug into.
you have any more info on that? i know i have to extend a couple of wires in order for them to reach the sensors but some connectors at the back of the motor werent plugged in.

This kind of thing can be pretty difficult to diagnos over the internet.
When Im working with unfamiliar harnesses, I try to label everything before
it comes off the original motor.

If you can get some pics of where these plugs are located, and maybe some wire colors, we can give it a try.
