Now my next Question.

What is the best way to get this rear bracket mounted to the rear mount??

I've tryed to get it mounted but i can't seem to get it all lined up.

HELP IS WELCOMED

THANKS

 

come on help a friend in need

 

That doesn't look like a Integra 90-93 rear tranny mount. It needs to be from an integra. Also I did my from the bottom up and it work out ok

 

It's better from the bottom, i done a b18 swap wit ha friend from the bottom and let me tell you, it is a whole lot easy from the bottom then the top. Btw that rear mount bracket in the last pic looks like a 94 and up integra bracket, it does not look like the 90-93 integra bracket you need. If you order it from honda it should be like in the 50-60$ range i would imagine but don't hold my word on it, or you could go to the junkyard and get one off another 90-93 integra but those things are rare as hell in my area.

 

yea definetly not a 90-93 rear bracket.

If this is going in an EF and 90-93 integra rear bracket should work auto or manual they are the same, also you can get it new from acura for about $50 shipped

 

Doing it from the bottom was easy for me, Just raised it 25 inches from front bumper to floor ( i think, dont exactly remember). But it seemed faster

 

Thanks for all the help guys.

I'm going to pick up the right bracket on Monday

I'll post more picks later

once again thanks

as long as u convert it from dpfi to mpfi.

 

not to completely hijack this thread but can someone post a pic of the 2 rear brackets...

i just put in a B18 in my 89 DX and had a bitch of a time getting the mount lined up... i might of used the wrong rear bracket...

anyone's got a pic of the 2 that would be awsome...

 

oh and i did mine through the top with the manifolds off...
trans bolted up..
I just ofset the motor when i hung it from the hoist so it slid in just right...

my rear mount was a PITA (as stated above) took about 2 hours to get the motor in and bolted up by myself...

still have to tweak it a little more...

i went cheap and got mounts off ebay for 120 bucks...

HASPORT would of been the proper way to go...

 

Here goes a picture of the 90-93 mount. Don't mind the other stuff.

 

GJ man, it looks good, but IMO i would send the harness to Rywire.com to get it done pro style so you don't go crazy and have problems with wires popping off or corroding from splice, plus soldering can be a pain in the *** when you have more then a few wires to do.

agreed. its a lil pricey, but u get what u pay for and quality is great. ive seen their work.

 

Ok....... so i got the motor in and, i went to put in the Axles and is it suppose to be this hard???

I can only get the axles in half way in on both sides

I'm useing a 93 integra tranny and 90-93 integra axles and 91 integra hubs, & 91 Half shaft

There all lubed up but no go

If there is anythiong that im missing let me know

 

Check splines?

 

Just as a side note in regards to installing the engine from the top or from the bottom, I know it has no purpose now, I just wanted to share w/ everyone.

My friend was telling me that on one of his swaps he did, they got really creative. They hooked the engine hoist to the T bracket on the front of the car, and just hoisted the car up, rolled the motor underneath on a dolly, and dropped the car down on top of the motor and bolted it up. I remember him telling me is was SO much easier to put it in from the bottom, and after just recently doing one in my rex, and after fighting with the A/C lines and stuff, I could only imagine the ease of doing it from below.


....thats my story.....
Have a nice day

And the splines are ????

 

Well when i got my axles, they were messed up on the splines and wouldnt go in all the way, might be something else though, i was just putting a little FYI out there.

 

they look good to me
