Wanting to do a swap 96 Civic Hatch I have a JDM B18C Can someone tell me which mounts are the ones I need or better yet if the Hasport GSR mounts will work for my swap as a friend of mine has a set for cheap
Thanks

 

This is one of those moments where you need to read the rules sticky, and give us basic, required information.

 

Nominate close thread.

 

Hmmm. GSRs are B-series aren't they?

 

Your friend is selling gsr mounts and your asking us if it fit? Does your friend live in another state that he can't bring them over to verify if it fits or not?

 

"Wanting to do a swap." Do you have the engine or not? OP probably hasn't done his due diligence for this swap. At least a basic parts list seeing as how this swap has been done dozens of times. Or at the very least check the Hasport website.

 

Done my due diligence and red several threads a lot less sarcasm is always helpful
What I don't know is the difference and since the picture on hasport isn't something I can rotate for comparison I asked
So if there is someone on here who has some actually useful info I would appreciate it.
Again : Swapping a B18C into my EK Hatch are the GSR mounts the correct mounts?

 

Actually No that's why I am asking or trying to load up on info which for some reason seems to be harder today than any other.

 

First off, you don't have an EK. If you did have an EK, you wouldn't need special mounts. If you actually did your due diligence, you would know this.

Second off, a B18C is a GSR. Or an ITR, but you weren't specific, and it doesn't matter.

Finally, it's a B series swap. It's super simple stuff that has been done thousands of times. If you had actually searched and read, your question would already be answered, and you wouldn't be wasting yours and our time with this thread.

That being said, look at the block you have. Does it have a 2 post, or 3 post mount?

 

Check it. On the Hasport site, which I checked out, there is no differentiation between on B-series and another. hence, the implication that all B-series mounts work on all B-series engines. And since B-series came in these cars there will be no modifications needed to make it fit. Now if you're looking for something that exactly says "GSR mounts will fit on JDM B18Cs" then you may be looking for a long time.

 

Since you're the first one ever to do this swap in the world, I could see the reason for asking this mysterious question. This question is a disease that has plagued the minds of honda aficionados for an unknown period of time.

Lucky for you, I have the medicine.

You can use all the DC chassis mounts EXCEPT the driver side upper....or the "timing cover area mount".

Your B18C (gsr/itr doesn't matter) comes with a 3 post bracket bolted to the block in that location. I don't know if hasport makes a 3 post mount for "EK's". They might.

If they do, buy the "EK" mount kit meant to be used with the 3 post B18C driver side upper bracket.

If they do not, you need to first buy a 2 post BRACKET for a 99-00 Si. Then buy a B series EK mount kit.

Feel me?

You'll also need a 99-00 Si rear T bracket.

To answer your next question:

A bracket is all metal.

A mount is the rubber or poly filled piece.

 

I'll make it even more simple:

If your friends mounts were for a 92-95 civic = NO
If your friends mounts were for any integra = NO
If your friends mounts were for a 99-00 civic si AKA EM1 = LET YOUR FRIEND...

The mount kit doesn't have to be for a EM1. It has to be for any 96-00 Civic.

The only stipulation is that it has to come with a 3 hole driver upper mount. Otherwise a civic kit will not fit a B18C as-is.

You can, however, bolt a 2 post bracket onto a B18C. Then you can use a 2 hole mount there.

3 post bracket = 3 hole mount.

2 post bracket = 2 hole mount.

3 post brackets come on B18C's USDM and JDM.

 

the EKSTK3 kit works with the 3 bolt integra style block bracket

the EKSTK2 kit works with the 2 bolt b16 style block bracket

both kits will work for b or d series engines

note: b and d series require a different rear engine bracket or "T" bracket

 

Curious to know how do you use the tranny side mount from a DC on a 96-00?

 

This is true but he wants to know if his friends "gsr mounts" will fit his civic. We don't even know what they are for, 95-01 integra or 96-00 civic. If they were for the integra he would still need to order that driver side bracket that will make it work, so technically its not a straight drop it.

 

Is there an after market T Bracket or is this dealer specific
Thanks for the info
I didn't have a clear understanding of the bracket changes and I think I've gotten clarity

 

I don't know of an aftermarket bracket. I think it's $60 @ the dealer. Has to be for a 99-00 Si.
