I'm installing a B20 into my EG civic.

The problem is with the rear bracket. I have an S80 tranny, and a B20 engine. From what I have researched to swap it into my EG I will be needing a rear engine bracket from a 3rd Gen Integra.

This is where the problem is. I'm having problems bolting up the bracket to the motor. The holes do not line up. Their are three holes on the bracket. Two that will bolt into the tranny, and one on the back of the block. If I put the bolt through and in on the engine block , the two tranny bolts do not line up. If I put the two tranny bolts, the bolt on the back of the block will not line up.

Take a look at the pic.




Notice how if the block bolt is in, the bracket sits to low and about half of the hole is mis-aligned. Placing it in different positions did not do anything. Could this be a bracket off of something else? Any ideas?




Here you can see the bolt placed in the bracket on the block location




Here's the bracket.


Let me know what you guys/girls think.

Thanks!

 

a 99 civic si mount will fit real nice.

 

ya but only on a 99 Si

 

looks like he's got the right one but ya you need 94-01 INTEGRA T bracket

That's what this one I'm using is suppose to be.

What puzzles me even more is if it's not a 94-01 bracket what else could it be that it fit so closely?

Try jacking up the motor a bit, you know, putting pressure to raise it up and then bolt it in.

 

there's a chance it's from a 94-01 integra....but it may be from an AUTO....an auto t-bracket will cause the holes to not line up, so double check it hope that helps.

Damn I didn't even think about that. Definitely a good point. Thanks for bringing that up.

Engine is out of the car.

 

Just elongate the bolts holes....

Ya I don't really like that idea too much. Just doesn't seem right to me. I'm going to try to find the right bracket for it.

 

By looking at how the bolt holes [don't] line up with the transmission holes, I'd say that's an automatic bracket. I was sent the wrong (automatic) one when doing my swap and it lined up like your pics.

 

you need a manual 94-01 integra

 

Thank you guys all for your responses

I'm going to pick up a manual one in a few hours. I hope that this is the problem, it being one off of a manual car.

Thanks again

 

Update



Thanks for all your help everyone. Turns out it was an rear bracket off of an automatic Integra.
