I am getting ready to do an engine swap, which is the B16A2 engine. Do I have to change the mounting brackets or can I just drop it in with no problems.

 

I forgot, it is a 93 Honda Civic DX coupe.

 

I also need some info on this as there is not many Honda engine conversions done in Australia.

If you don't have the stock si mounts then here ya go...

You'll notice on the mounts there are usually two pieces. The main mount or bracket and the piece that is bolted to the car with a rubber bushing or mount. You'll see what i'm talking about when you get it apart. Most of the mounts that attach to the engine are integra pieces, the ones the attach the mount to the car are usually stock civic pieces.

You'll need the rear bracket mount from a integra, and reuse the mount with the rubber bushing from the civic. You'll also need the front a/c mount from a integra and reuse the rubber mount from the civic again. The top tranny mount just reuse the civic one. Front tranny mount use a integra mount and reuse the civic rubber mount. Drivers side top main mount use either a jdm sir 2 mount or you can use a 92-95 civic ex/si/vx mount. Dx won't work and integra won't work with the jdm b16.

It's kinda confusing and I got told about 30 different things and finally got all the mounts I need. It's a pain in the *** if you have to locate mounts since you have to order some of them new from honda if you can't find them used. $$$$

If you have the stock si mounts I know you'll have to change some of them but i'm not sure on which ones are not the same as the eg b16 mounts. I know the drivers side mount needs to be changes but other than that i'm not sure.
