just ordered my new engine, its a Jdm GSR from hmotorsonline. my brother just recently did his swap and the place that did it had to change two of the mounts to SI mounts, did they do that because they are better, or because you have to? if i have to replace those, where might a good place be to find them for a reasonable price. I am also going to be getting a new timing belt and water pump, should i just pick those up at the local NAPA or should i order OEM somwhere? thanx alot.

 

Someone else might be more qualified to answer ya bro but I think those mounts need to be changed in order to bolt in. OEM would be my choice for replacement parts

 

Oh hey your the guy who wants to change his paint also.....I like the look now man...kind of what I'm going to end up with. My car is Milano red and my Gsr will be in my car soon too

 

ya its just to bolt in. unless you want to get aftermarket mounts for your swap.

 

ok, so does anyone know a place that i could buy the parts? should i just go to the dealer? by the way it comes with GSR stock motor mounts, not sure if that changes anything

 

Geezzz thats a good question for me as well. I'm not sure but I think you can use those mounts for your swap??? yea/no Neverbx is right too...you can get aftermarket mounts as well. Sorry I can't help you as to where to go man

 

hey everyone, i just put a b18c in my 95 coupe this weekend, and i didnt have to buy new mounts it is a direct bolt in. i got it from Hmotors as well, but no mounts had to be replaced, i did have to however modify one just slightly. it was the drivers side front lower mount that attaches to the AC bracket, i had to cut a piece of the metal out to fit it around a lil piece on the frame that stuck down. but i just made it look like the stock mount that came on the car.

 

way to dig up an old thread h:

congrats on the motor huvid

 

Hrm, I think you need to use SI mounts because the stock D-series mounts aren't right for the B-series motor.

Using SI mounts works, because that is a b-series motor in the civic frame.

Hybridgarage probably has a more authoritative answer. or maybe hasport.
