Default middle of swap: some questions/concerns.

Alright i'm in the halftime stages of my b16a swap into my 92 hatch. THe old motor is out. I got my motor from hmotors online, they did a great job by the way. I went with the LSD also. My dilemma is i dont know what mounts i'm supposed to use for the rear. Should I use the d15 rear bracket, or the b16 rear bracket? I can use the stock b16 driver and passenger side mounts right? they are already on the motor.

Another concern. As I understand it.... I have to order a del sol DOHC vtec a/c compressor bracket to keep my a/c right? I was just gonna leave my a/c off until it comes in, but I have to have that a/c bracket on to attatch that lower driver side engine mount right? Should I put that stock bracket back on? Can I leave that lower driver side mount off? ?!?!?!?!??!


I love honda-tech.

i think you will be ok using the b16 rear mount, but ivr always used a 94+ teg rear mount. the driver side mount SHOULD work if you have the mount that has the studs slanted i think. but qas for the tranny you can use your single cam mount on it

You should have received all of the bracket and mounts with the swap which is what you need to use. If not then you can reuse your upper stock D series tranny mount then the rest will need to be from a 94-01 Integra or JDM EG/DC mounts. Here's a pic to use as a reference:

if your B16 came from a 1996+ or newer civic, you need an Integra rear mount instead.

if your B16 came from a 1992-1995 JDM civic or any year Del Sol then you can use that B16 rear bracket.
