I'm putting a JDM d15b (it's vtec-e, but whatever) into my 89 sedan. I know there are some issues with the drivers side mount. I have the stock mount off of the d15b2 and I also have a mount from a 92 DX.

Some of the things I'm reading say to use the mount from the d16a6.

Can anyone confirm exactly what to do? I've been told before to us the mount from the 92, but now I'm a bit confused.

I'm looking for a smooth reinstall this weekend.

 

use the mount off of ur old motor and the water neck on the front of motor also

Thanks.

Are there any other differing opinions on this issue?

 

Bump for the thread on the top of the page.

 

BS. You did NOT search.

Use the 88-91 engine side mount. Its not an opinion... it is what has to be done.

 

Use the 88-91 driver side rubber mount and bracket. The mount on my D15B VTEC sat a little crooked though...has anyone else noticed something similar with theirs?

I did the same...noticed it was a bit distorded... So I made a custom one, long storry short...

although, if you use the bracket to block metal bracket and the engine to frame rubber mount of a 1989 to 1991 civic it will work no problem.

yep my d15b mount sat crooked and my zc one didnt fit so i had to fab the zc one to fit and i worked out fine.

 

&lt;----- z6 w/ 90 Si mounts...sits just fine

 

Z6 w/91 Si Mounts - Sits a smidge crooked....

 

mine sits hella crooked. infact i put a couple washers under the front bolt to rotate it back to keep the metal part of the mount from hitting the mount "bucket" on the car.

i heard that somebody makes an aftermarket mount for this problem, is this true?

 

Any other thoughts? Has anyone been able to fix this without making custom mounts?

 

Its really not that bad.. it just looks funny more than anything.
