I know this topic has been BEATEN TO HELL but I have seen TWO different answers to my question.

I have a 2001 b18c1 that needs to be dropped into a '96 EX couple (was automatic)

I KNOW (and have swapped out) the rear tranny mount needs to be 99-00 Si.

I have also swapped out the passenger side lower tranny mount, and passenger side upper tranny mount.

The driver side lower AC mount is done too.

HOWEVER:

I am confused as to which driver side upper engine mount (near the timing gears) is needed to be used. I have read that you need the 99-00 Si mount. I have also read that the mounts from the 96 D16 will work just fine. Both of these answers were found here by SEARCHING. So don't try to flame me for not searching, please.

I need a straight up answer from someone who has actually done this swap - not just read about it, or knows some dude whose brother did it a couple years ago, or something like that. If you have any pictures please post or email them to me. I'm really at a loss right now, and unfortunately don't have access to the Si mounts at the moment to match them up. The D16 mount kinda looks like it MIGHT wor, but not sure.

Thanks in advance, any help is greatly appreciated.

 

you need a 99-00 si mount because i have a 2000 ej coupe and when i did my swap it was required. but i went ahead and bought the place racing motor mount because that will last comparing to the dealer ones that blow all the time.

think hes talking about the mount that that bolts to the engine. 99-00 si is what your going to need. Plus replacing the chassis mount for the timing belt side woudnlt hurt.

p.s., ive busted the timing belt side mount before, not good. **** explodes everywhere! But if you have the lower a/c mount itll hold.

 

you need the 99-00 si drivers side bracket that bolts directly to the block behind the timing belt cover on one end and the other end contains the studs that connect to the chassis side of the mount

 

Thanks all, the motor is now in, though pending the passenger side tranny mount weld. Thanks for your help everyone.
