the LS is in.. with some mount problems
 

im using the streetimports.com b series swap mounts... The driver side mount by the timing cover has about 3/4" of space between the rubber mount and the metal chassis mount that it fits into ??? whats the deal with that? Are you supposed to use the stock rubber insulator shits between the mount and the car?

thats only the first fitment issue:

how do you know if you have the wrong rear bracket? I supposedly got the correct one from a 94+ integra but the bottom bolt by the axel seal doesnt line up right now. The top one does, as well as the other 2 (through the mount and on the top of the trans) I think i just need to wiggle it around some more becuase its close, but about 1/2" off. Would the wrong mount be even close?

Re: the LS is in.. with some mount problems
 

thats a lot of space
usually the metal sleeve of the mount touches the walls of the mount holder or however you call it

Re: the LS is in.. with some mount problems
 

yeah, thats what i thought. The other 2 mounts fit ok. Actually, the back one fits great, and the one on the tranny had about 1/4" of space i squeezed shut with a 1/2" drive rachet. I think the stock rubber spacers are supposed to go back in, but i dont have them any more to even try. Anyone know how thick they are?

Re: the LS is in.. with some mount problems
 

i have those mounts and they fit fine ???


maybe you bent the chassis mount taking the old engine out??

Re: the LS is in.. with some mount problems
 

what year ls is it?

Re: the LS is in.. with some mount problems
 

the ls is 90-93. I highly doubt i bent the chassis mount taking the engine out.. thats pretty hard to do. The mount is just not long enough to take up all the space in the metal bracket it bolts into.

back to the bracket on the back of the block: I guess there is a different one for 90-93 integras and 94+ integras? I probably have the 90-93 one, unless something else is wrong that wont let the bracket bolt in. But my opinion is that i have the wrong one. I can get 3 of the 4 bolts in, but one is always 1/2" off. Ill try and get some pics later if i dont get a new mount soon.

you need the 94+ b18b1 motor bracket



your welcome

Re: the LS is in.. with some mount problems
 

i know thats the one i need... since mine doesnt really fit, im assuming i have the earlier one. Is there any way to tell? Mine has a k or some letter stamped on it

Re: the LS is in.. with some mount problems
 

Take some pictures of your mounting dilema. I'm too visual of a person to be able to understand what's going on here. Did you bolt up the rear mount to the motor/tranny before the motor was in the car to make sure it worked? I think it was off an Auto, but I know for a fact the 90-93 rear tranny brackets are the same auto or manual, but that bracket could possibly be different between auto/manual for the 94 up B series.

The space in the side mount seems to be strange, though, pics are needed here for clarification. Good luck.

Re: the LS is in.. with some mount problems
 

just tighten it to suck the mount reciever together

Re: the LS is in.. with some mount problems
 

i tightened the one on the tranny like that because there was only like 1/4" of space between. 3/4" is kind of alot to pull together ::)


ill take some pics of the side mount today or tomorrow

Re: the LS is in.. with some mount problems
 

the rear mount is the wrong one... the distance between the two holes in the tranny is 3 1/4" and on the mount its only 2 3/4". Auto and manual rear mounts are different for 94+ integras. Anyone got a manual one?

and i put one of the stock rubber washers in between the engine mount under the timing cover and the metal chassis it fits into. If one is on both sides (i only have one) , it will fit quite nicely. I guess your supposed to re-use these?

Re: the LS is in.. with some mount problems
 

i used a 90-93 teg bracket no problem on my hatch ???

Re: the LS is in.. with some mount problems
 

what year hatch?

Re: the LS is in.. with some mount problems
 

its a 91 but i did the swap a couple years ago maybe the mounts are diff now, the only problem i had was one of the bolts on the trans mount. it was very difficult to get in, i had to put it through the hole on the mount, position the trans a bit low, bolt the mount to the chassis, then screw the bolt into the trans(which raised the trans into correct position).

no one ever listens to me. I swear. I do this ---- for a living but your 19 year old boyee knows better ::)




You need the 94+ bracket for the driver side you know the 3 bolt 90-93 is meant for 88-91 chassis in swapage world



and no dont trust that chart either its only been right for 5+years


again refer to your boyeeeeeeeeeee'''''sssssssssssss

Re: the LS is in.. with some mount problems
 

i thought you were talking about an ED hatch, when ever i think about swap mounts EG/EK dont even come to mind since you dont need them

Re: the LS is in.. with some mount problems
 

yeah, unless your stock motor mounts are wooped from the turbo d.

Re: the LS is in.. with some mount problems
 

I was talking to my friend and he told me he heard the auto bracket will work fine if the one hole is ovaled out a bit. Would that help the situation? I believe the dimensions will be the same from auto to manual, but where it mounts to the tranny I think might be the only difference....might be worth a try. ???

Re: the LS is in.. with some mount problems
 

Chris is ALWAYS right about these types of things.

Re: the LS is in.. with some mount problems
 

yep. I knew which mounts to use, just not which ones i actually had. Thanks for the help guys, the manual bracket is on its way. Just need a wild stainless turbo manifold and a $300 napa bill to get her going. Now if i only knew someone to make me that mani... :-* :-* :-*

Re: the LS is in.. with some mount problems
 

Did the new bracket fix everything?

Re: the LS is in.. with some mount problems
 

just got it today, and its raining :( It will work though.
