Hello everyone!
I bought a Civic Si with B16A recently
but the engine is kinda tilted
so me and my friend decided to change the engine mounts
we got Hasport mounts/bracket (EFB1 and EFRB) from ebay
but we encountered some problems
we first installed the rear mount and bracket
but the mount one the transmission side won't fit in the bracket


we are not sure the bracket is re-weld or not


since the mount won't fit so we reinstalled the old mounts on the transmission side and timing side (Hasport rear mount and bracket are still installed)
engine is more horizontal now
but we still wondering why those two mounts won't fit
have anyone encountered this before?
PLEASE HELP

 

Was the chassis originally an Automatic ?

 

Using mixed matched mounts kinda defeats the purpose of buying hasports mount kit...
I think even if it were auto before then to manual, that shouldn't make any difference in placement. The chassis mount is not going to change..

Here's mine, I have old school Toda mounts in my crx with a b16a tranny and b18c1 block but placement should be nearly the same as a civic. Measuring from the flat face on the front of the chassis mount to the center of the bolt hole (closest to rad) should be approx/exactly 4".
Looking at your pic, your intake manifold must be very close to the firewall right now. That rear mount should extend out further so the hasport tranny mount lines up. Looks like you have the correct cable swap tranny mount but maybe the L bracket or rear mount is wrong.. Why did you not just use a oem honda L bracket from a integra?.
One thing I would do is take all your hasport mounts and compare them to a pic of a complete proper cable trans mount kit. Make sure they didn't send you some mount designed for a hydro tranny..

 

in the EF chassis there is no difference between auto and manual as far as mounting points go

the only difference that comes into play is whether the chassis was originally b-series or d-series

the hasport mount in the picture the OP posted is for cable transmission and will bolt onto the transmission as well

what has happened is they installed the rear mount and T bracket first and now cannot get the other mounts to "line" up

the 2 side mounts need to be installed first. timing side and transmission side. then with the engine "hanging" in there with the 2 side mounts the rear T bracket can be hooked up

 

Good to know, and my bad.. the "T" bracket. When you say with the motor "hanging" by each side mount, just make sure your safe and have the engine ALWAYS supported underneath when removing mounts.. There's always some clumsy nut out there who could seriously hurt them selves or have a engine fall in the bay and become a nightmare.

 

Thanks everyone for replying!
I have checked my mounts and bracket.
They are all for cable trans
We thought Hasport mounts gonna make engine move away from radiator
but seems like it gonna make the engine move toward to radiator
Thank you for the reply!
We still got some questions here.
The mounts will make the engine move toward to radiator. why we installed the rear mount and T bracket first but the engine position doesn't change at all?

and if we installed all mounts and bracket correctly and make engine move towards to radiator
will it make my exhaust manifold too close to radiator?




Maybe I should get a smaller radiator or EF9 exhaust manifold?

 

You'll be totally fine unless your reving the motor high for long periods of time. My 3" down pipe that was unwrapped before (wrapped now) sat closer to my rad with zero issues. If your worried, just get some DEI exhaust wrap and wrap the exhaust manifold pipes. Amazing stuff.. you could touch your manifold right after being on the hwy with bare hands.
One trick to getting it on nice and tight is to soak the wrap in water then wrap it.
