im doin an auto b20 swap for a friend and im having some problems..

1. the motors sitting and a slight angle
2.not sure what t bracket to use (SI doesnt work)
3.alternator hits the frame rail


any ideas any body??

 

what car are you swaping this into and what mounts are u asuing on the swap

 

Need a little more information on the car. It sounds like either the mounts are slightly bent or you have the wrong ones.

 

yeah thats what im thinking cuz on mine I had to custom make the ac mount its not really needed but just a little extra

 

its goin in a 1998 civic 4dr dx...Im usings the Si side mount si t bracket and stock tranny mount..

 

The driver's side motor mount should be from a 94+ integra as well as the front transmission motor mount bracket. As far as the ac compressor mount, that can be any b series, but to keep ac it has to be from a b16. Those are the mounts I used on my 98 coupe and it fits perfect.

 

do your self a favor save the money your using to buy the mounts and just get good one. try innovative .com I used those and very happy with them

 

I used the innovative motor mounts on my b20 swap and they fit great. Haven't got to drive em yet, but I'm sure they'll be fine.

Are you 100% positive on that? I will be putting a B20 into a 93 VX in the next few days and I do plan to put the ac into the car. I have read a few posts where people say that the B20 and Del Sol B16 bracket are the same after comparing part #s.

Can anyone verify (possibly with pics) and be 100% sure what lower bracket will allow you to keep your AC in a 92-95 civic with a B20Z swap.

I had to have mine custom made but mine is in a 96-00 civic
hope that helps

 

Mines a 98 civic and you don't have to have them custom made for our generation. I know the b16 ac mount is what I used and it isn't the same as the b20 ac mount. I'm pretty sure the b16 one is the one I needed the keep ac, but since yours is a different generation, I dunno what you will need.

 

Last night I test fitted an LS Integra AC compressor and all 4 bolts lined up and went right in. I have a 2000 B20Z so the integra AC compressor will bolt up with no issues on the bracket. I also I visually compared the compressor from the LS to the one on my roommates si hatch. Visually they look idnetical but his is in the car so I can't say that they are for sure. This leads me to wonder if there are any differences between the Civic and the Integra AC compressors, or if in fact they are the same. The motor should be going in this weekend and I have to scroung around to find the complete AC system but I will post in here again when or if I can get it to work with what I have.
