Please help

yea the one to the far right

 

Well it appears as if it goes on the rear, mounts on the rear engine cross member. But the mount plate (bottom portion of it) looks weird, too flat.

 

ok am i supposed to have a bracket that goes on my motor for it to hook to?

Yes, you should have a bracket on the rear of your motor, under the intake manifold. If you don't, then youu need to get a 90-93 Teg bracket, also known as the "T" bracket.

It looks a little weird but it works. I use this kit to install a b18a into a 90 hatch. That flat part sit on the rear metal bar to make the part even with the other.

BTW Next time make your title more approperiate. This make it more useful for other honda-tech members.

I highly discourage you from fabricating something that can be easily attain. I think they are like 35 buck. Just slow down with that swap for now...i know you are excited and everything. You don't want to fix it down the road.

Especially that rear mount/bracket.

No, and if that rear mount doesn't work, you can use a Teg rear mount as well. You could have gotten that bracket at a pick n' pull for about $10-$15.
