B18C EG Swap (Wrong Mounts?)
Car: 95 CX, Motor: 94 GSR
Well here is the deal, my friend bought a motor from a friend of mine where he was expecting a full complete swap for the price he paid.. many months later he got it in pieces, half of the parts missing, half of the wrong parts, we even had to get the trans (jdm b16a) since he couldnt locate the original gsr one.. anyhow on Friday we began the swap (a very first one ever) with hardly any tools and experienece needles to say its a disaster so far!, however the motor is in but having a problem with the rear mount.. there is a bracket that mounts on the trans which slides over a mount attached to the chasis. What are should both of these mounts be from? 94-95 GSR? The one on the chasis is labeled
94 Teg, but it doesnt make sense.. it should be a three hole mount where this one only has two and has no hole in the front so it has to be from some other car.. we triend using the one that was in the civic with the trans rear mount that came with that incomplete motor but its off by at least 1.5" towards the passanger side.. no way that they will line up. If someone could just confirm exactly what vehicle i need to get these mounts from to make it work that would be perfect.. i'll just end up looking for some used ones tomorrow and hope to have this problem resolved by the night.

i have a 93 si hatch, i used the factory rear tranny chassis mount that came in the car, and then used an integra "L" rear tranny bracket, the one that comes with the gsr motor. you may have to go to acura and see if you have the right "L" bracket, also, i wouldnt use the teg rear chassis mount
that is correct.
Use your stock rubber rear mount and the integra rear tranny brakcet.
Also be aware, that the manual and auto rear brackets are different.
So make sure you have a manual piece.

cool! thanks a lot for the info guys.. yes the 95CX is manual and i have two rear rubber mounts (one that was in the civic originally, and another that is i got with the motor) But then i must obviously must have the wrong L mount.. the civic one does not work for sure, but then i wonder the one he gave me from the motor doesnt work either so it prolly must be from another car? Although it does bolt up perfectly to the trans but its off by a lot trying to align it with a stock rear rubber mount?
