Here i will share the step by step build up of my new project ek sedan VTi 98 in parallel to eg hatch project.

Lucky to receive a shell which has potential to be back on road

 

For a family man budget is improtant so can't go for K or B but something sweet came across D16a9 similar to ZC non vtech obd1.

 

Managed to place the order some necessary parts while some old stock of eg and ek will do wonders to me

 

old stock seats was in reserve came handy after giving a quick wash and dry

 

I wish i can get lsd internal components to transform it, S40 stock with hell of grime and dirt with old oil and mud

 

 

It was really hard to mount engine back in the chasis without lifting tool or additional help but finally did it

 

Stuck with T bracket don't know which one will fit 95 eg or 98 ek

 

With the sub frame in the engine bay pictured above... you will need the '98 EK Civic "D" series rear engine bracket.

 

Its not fitting in

 

Lots of pics and process details i have missed to record and click but will do all from now to keep it posted here for anyone who can receive help

 

Its still not a perfect match but something rather than nothing is better

 

Do you have a DOHC ZC transmission (uses an intermediate shaft bolted to the back of the block... so that L and R axles are equal length.) ???

 

That's exactly what I was thinking. I dont think dohc zc came in ek did it? If not then there isn't an oem rear t bracket for it.

 

Did modification of the T bracket from 98 Lxi to be matched to fit into ek with ZC Installation of shifter linkage rod also took place, however found that the bracket is missing.
Order placed ... item on the way

 

Finally the shifter linkage and shift rod holder back in place with new bracket

 

The "T" bracket that you have pictured two posts above mine appears to be from a "B" series swap application (or a chassis similar to a USDM EM1). Could this be why it doesn't seem to fit properly ? A "D" series bracket bolts up flush/next to the ear on the transmission case (through transmission ear on case -> through front of "T" bracket and into the threaded nut side), whereas, the "B" series "T" bracket pinches AROUND the ear of the block with a bolt passing through (bracket hole -> block -> threaded nut side of bracket).

 

I have used D series T bracket from 98 manual tranmission only it required minor modificaiton in matching and shifting holes which was not alligned, i didn't use the ear side of the tranmission so far will do that later when car is on the movie will modify the T bracket

 

You DO see the "Quote" button at the bottom right of every post, right ?!?
