If it bolts right up how come not everyone does it to have a huge throttle body on their D?

You didn't read my post very well. I said there will need to be some modification, but it is pretty minimal.

Sure, assuming you have an entire SiR front clip, a welding machine, fabrication skills, and a LOT of free time on your hands. In short, no. Hate to say it, but you have to use aftermarket mounts for the quickest, easiest, and cheapest installation.

If you're using the b16a from a crx sir, then it will bolt right in, but you will need the mounts that come with that engine.

Sorry, but that's not right. The J-spec CRX SiR used different mounting points in the engine bay itself, thus creating the market for swap mount kits. A B-series engine will not bolt into any US market pre-92 Civic/CRX body without an aftermarket or custom mount kit, or otherwise modifying the actual chassis mount points.
