Okay i got a 90 dx hatchy and a d16a1 engine that im trying to swap into it ... everything its almost done except for one more problem ... timing belt side engine mount is different ... would appriecate some quick help.. thnkxz

 

Pull the mount bracket off and replace with mount bracket that came out of the car...(mount attatches to this, you will need to pull off your timing covers) should line up fine

 

i think thats what we tried doing
we took the timming covers off and tried attaching the other mount but they didnt aling...
.... let me grab my camera and get a picture...

I think you'll need custom mounts because that motor doesnt just bolt right in to 88-91 civic/crx's like most d-series do..

 

aight i got the pictures up.... am i being dumb .. and doing some stupid thing wrong???

anybody?

 

aight okay ... so where can i get some custom mounts at?

I have no idea..Most people dont do that swap in 88-91 cars..They do bolt into the 84-87 cars though..

 

think it would hold up if you just elongated one of the mounts holes? maybe add some weld.. maybe a machine shop can do it... i dunno.... yeah im a big help

 

that sucks ... aight well ill keep looking ... i should just weld that mount onto tha block and see if it holds!

 

drill the hole out and weld on some extra material and make it bolt on

In very simple terms you can think of Civics/CRXs as the following: 84-87 Civics/CRXs & 86-89 Integras (your D16A1) are Gen. A; and 88+ Civics/CRXs are Gen. B; and the twain shall never mix (mostly). It's a royal PITA to put a D16A1 into any 88+ civic because all of the mounts are different, and because there are much better/easier/more powerful engines to swap in like the D16Z6 and the D16Y8, which is why NOBODY makes mounts to do this swap. Either buy a welder and make your own mounts, or sell your engine/tranny on ebay or http://www.redpepperracing.com or http://www.g1teg.org , and then buy a better engine to swap into your 90 hatch. I'm not saying that what you're attempting CAN'T be done, just that you'll waste an enormous amount of time and energy doing it for a mediocre result. Good luck with that. Post more questions if you have them.

And hcf means what exactly???
