I've got a 1996 DC4 integra coupe I'm trying to swap in my built motor its a b18a1 non VTEC with a s80 lsd b18c transmission. I ordered 1996 acura Integra Avid mounts for the swap. I cannot get the motor to mount up. First I tried bolting the left and right mount but I couldn't get enough clearance for the rear mount to line up. I needed about 1 inch. So then I unbolted those and today I bolted the rear mount first and then tryed to bolt the left and right ones. Still not fitting. I'm stumped. Not really sure where to go from here. Maybe I got sent the wrong t bracket. Any help is greatly appreciated I've been working on this build for 3 years now and its so close to being in the car.

 

Make sure you have a DC2/DC4 rear T-bracket. The 99-00 Si rear T-bracket looks similar but will not work. You will also need to replace the drivers side post mount (the bracket that bolts to the block under the timing cover) with the bracket from your 96 integra engine.

 

I replaced the post mount already. I found out that I have the 99-00 si t bracket. But now I've got the integra gsr t bracket I ordered and its not lining up for some weird reason. With the top bolt in that goes through the hole in the block and threads in the t bracket itself neither one of the bottom bolts will line up.

I even tried putting the two bolts on bottom and neither one would line up if the other one was in. The Vin on the transmission is JH4DC23111S000134. Maybe I need a specific t bracket? The 99-00 si bracket bolted up just fine. But didn't let the mounts line up right. This t bracket I just got is a little bit longer and would work perfect its just the bolts won't line up with the holes... The eBay seller I bought from said it was a manual one but maybe he sent me an automatic one instead.

 

Problem resolved. I found out the guy I bought the t bracket off of sent an automatic one instead of a manual one. Extremely frustrating. Ordered a manual one and lined up perfect!

 

I bet you wish you could punt that guy right in the ussy
