Default GSR motor swap into Civic

I'm swapping a GSR motor into a Civic HB, can I use the GSR motor mounts or
do I need different motor mounts?

This is gonna be my first swap and I'm just preparing for things to come.

thanks

Ok, I just read the thread about motor mounts and they say to use 99-00 Civic motor mounts.

What year hatch. For EG just use stock gsr mounts and make sure you have the stock gsr rear bracket.

for a B18C1 into a 97 hatch you need a rear mount from a 99 civic Si. Don't bother trying to modify a GSR rear mount. Matter of fact I think I still have a spare 99 si mount if you need it, for pretty cheap.

He also needs a SI drivers side bracket and if you want to keep ac your gonna need a P54 ac bracket.

well unfortunately they gave you all the wrong answers..
1 you need a EX or SI engine block mount
2 SI driverside mount
3 SI L bracket and the rest should be fine..also you need a SI harness

some are right some are wrong that has been posted here

you will need all integra mounts and linkage and either GSR harness or SI or ex harness from 92-95..and you will need 94-95 gsr ecu and you will need to wire up the vtec wires and IAB...
