Default GSR swap help (mounts)

I got my motor mounted in this weekend, but it just doesn't LOOK right. Can somebody tell me what mounts are supposed to be used (left by transmission, center-back behind motor, right by timing cover).


'94 Acura Integra GSR (B18C1) into '94 Honda Civic hatchback.

I hope your hatch wasn't automatic before, if it was, you'll need an auto to manual top tranny mount. Everything else is used from an Integra.

It was an automatic, but I have a GSR transmission mount...is a different one needed?


Specify please


To specify....the car is a '94 Honda Civic (automatic), I'm converting it to a '94 Acura Integra GSR 5-speed......I am using the GSR 5-speed transmission mount, GSR mount rear bracket, OE Civic rear mount, and a GSR timing cover mount.


The motor is in right now, but the motor/transmission has to be pushed into the frame on the passenger side of the car in order to ALMOST install the timing cover mount.....something is right and I need some help.

You will need an auto to manual top transmission mount to have everything seated correctly.

Thanks for answering that question


So the rest of the mounts need to be Integra mounts, right?

Yes... Or you can weld a Stick shift civic mount bracket too, but it's a lot easier to just buy the hasport mount...

The other day the motor was put in (it's pretty much on 2 out of 3 mounts, the transmission mount is there but it's not bolted all the way).....and it cranked up on the first turn


Now all that's left is....

1) Hasport transmission mount (due in tomorrow)
2) wire up VTEC
3) change out brake pedals

thanks for all the help

10-4 that's incorrect buddy, over 'n' out.

Mounts and brackets are a combo of Integra and stock Civic mounts.

Rear: - Integra bracket, Civic or Integra mount.

Topside tranny - stock Civic or Integra - in this specific case though the custom mount from HASport is needed due to the auto chassis frame rail mount location being too high.

Front tranny - Integra bracket, CIVIC MOUNT. You can use the Integra mount, but it doesn't sit flush with the frame rail and will require spacers if you want it to sit flat. It's pointless really.

A/c bracket - depends on if you have P/S and/or A/C. You use Integra (no A/C), 97 CR-V (A/c, bot no P/S), or 95 (or any other year really) Del Sol VTEC (A/C and P/S) with the CIVIC MOUNT again because of the frame rail issue.

Timing side - Integra bracket - mout itself can be Civic if it's the aluminum mount, but if it's the cast iron or steel mount you need to find an aluminum civic or Integra mount

Everything is in and works awesome....car runs great (still kinda loud, but I'm getting a silencer for my exhaust) and the motor looks like it came in the car. I've been breaking it in and put 100 of the 1,000 miles it needs on it last night so hopefully I'll have it out to track soon to see what difference the B-Series makes (and to run my brother's 300ZX and a Supra we built for a customer )


The only thing left to do is to change out brake pedals......anyone ever done that before?
