Re: h2b not bolting up! (turboanything)
make sure you smashed the frame rail enough to clear the crank pulley and the timing belt cover, where the balance shaft gear is. if not the engine can't be pushed back enough.
see how much i pounded mine in and towards the firewall

Re: h2b not bolting up! (xv53)
bashed it enough and cut the pulley so it clears.
balance shafts are eliminated
just have the right mount is just drilled in the wrong place.
my buddy called seth at quartersports got a hold of him yesterday...sent pics...now cant get a hold of in 4 attemps.
still wished i lived in nor.cal

I can assure you the holes were nor are they in the wrong place. We do not use a template, those pieces are laser cut and assembled in a jig.
You sent a couple other pictures not shown here. One where the rear L bracket is not lined up with the rear mount. We are wondering how this is... since the fact that the tranny is not relocating, why would your rear mount that sits in the OEM postion not be inline?
From what I see the issue possible lies around the mount not shown on the trans side.

In this pic, that timing belt has a large gap between it and the shock tower.
Compared too (it's an EG, just w/ a EK front) ...

Re: h2b not bolting up! (Bserious)
You can also get the idea from this pic...
The mount is slightly off centered from the bracket.
This is way too much, something possible on the other end is ****-eying the engine/trans.

Re: h2b not bolting up! (Bserious)
the pics i sent you where the back mount is not lining up is when the engine side mount and trans mount are in the position. Right now the back mount and tranny mount a centered perfect and the timing side mount is off.
this is what happens when i put the tranny mount in and the timing side mount it's crooked.

Re: h2b not bolting up! (turboanything)
now looking at the other pic's makes me think the tranny mount is off. It seems like the tranny is to far forward. So when i try to line everything up it makes the engine crooked. Are there different innovative mount's that could position the tranny to far forward maby we have the wrong one. Im no noob at this i did my first B16 swap into a Crx in 1998 and have since built 4 300-400hp hondas and now i build 500-600hp DSM's. I even built a 400hp 89 prelude with the old bastard B20 but this has me all confused.

Re: h2b not bolting up! (turboanything)
try bolting up your tranny mount & timing side mount first, don't tighten the L-bracket onto the tranny yet. when your mounts are bolted on (don't tighten it all the way), use a breaker bar or something to tilt the engine forward so the L-bracket bolts will line up. remember the motor is going to sit tilted forward. worked like a charm for me and i did the whole swap by myself.

True don't bolt them down so that if you need to tilt the engine you could.

Hey, why would the thread need to be deleted? so that noone else can read up on it and help them figure their problems out? leave it here for other people to learn from. do i even have to say, "duh"?
