Default Motor Mounts ?

98 Ek hatch.
B18a LS motor swap

The problem i have is i cant get ahold of the actual motor mount brackets driver and passenger ones that bolts directly up to the motor on the block about half way down the motor on both sides and then off that slips into the rubber bushing (which i already have) which i located to the sub frame of the car.


So far i have the rear motor mount which is out of a 99 civic
i have the driver and passenger upper motor mounts also and those 3 mounts are bolted up and in the car.

Ok guys iv been to acura and tried to see if they could get ahold of the actual motor mount bracket but they cant pull up a motor mount picture that is accurate to what i need.

Please someone steer me in the right direction or where i can get them.
Thanks guys.

For the driver's side torque mount, you will need the A/C bracket from a Del Sol VTEC or a 1st Gen CRV. You get this from a Honda Dealer, not Acura. The passenger side torque mount needs either a Civic Si tranny mount bracket(again from Honda not Acura), or you can use the bracket from the Integra and the bolt(stud) from any Civic. Most people do not use these mounts because the old stock bushings are usually torn, and are usually a pain to replace. The bolts on these mounts always rust and strip when go to turn them. If your stock mounts are in shape though, i would definitely use them. I've seen where the engine can torque hard enough to rub or dent the hood with these swaps.

That's what happened to my hood got dented from the torque. So what your saying is I need a ac compressor bracket which in turn will bolt up to my motor
and to the lower subframe bracket. What I'm trying to say is that ac compressor bracket will turn into my motor mount bracket needed to bolt up to the sub frame. Sorry to be a pest man. Thankyou for being patient and writing in detail.
