B16 rear bracket on install?

[Ricepicker]

im trying to instally my B16 into my civic but i dont understand what to do with the integra rear bracket??

i went to Hasport's website but i couldnt see the picture clearly on what purpose the rear bracket did.

what does it do??

what would happen if i didnt use the rear bracket?

ur help would be GREATLY appreciated.

If you dont use all three of th mounts your motor will shake tremendously and eventually break the other two. Think about a tower that has three wires holding it in place, if one breaks its done for.

Just get the mount kit and that should be all you need if thats what your asking. I was kind of lost on your question there. There is a full set of instructions that come with the kit and here is a link that I hope helps

The rear integra bracket is required to allow the transmission to bolt to the rear hasport mount.

I had no idea. I have Placeracing and had the rear mount redone.

if you are doing the swap yourself... be sure to cut out some of the cross member just infront of the new rear bracket, if you don't the engine will not fit. Test fit it first.... i cut off a strip 1/2" wide and about 5" long. if you don't understand what i'm talking about, reply and i'll take a picture of it.

BUT YOU MUST USE IT

Good luck

Test fit first man, I wouldn't cut the crossmember unless I had too. My crossmember isn't cut and my motor fits fine. Cutting a crossmember is an all around bad idea unless absolute necessity and then make sure to get it properly reinforced.

ya dont cut it...just bend the lip down like the hasport instructions say and check for proper fit...what that means is just make sure the lip does not keep the bracket from bolting up...

man you do need that bracket unless your engine came with it..the sir rear bracket will also work...the are the same thing...if so then just use that one but you will need a bracket....i repeat you do need that bracket...

[viperredrex]

if you're going to bend it.... why not cut it.... you fatigue the metal either way... and plus bending looks worse.... i guess it's hard to see though.

But hey, i figured out how to use my stock linkage, but hey i'm just an idiot saving 150 bucks

viperredrex>> still confused... not too sure....

would it be hard to get this piece from an integra in the junkyard?? (hard to take off with the engine in place?)

[Ricepicker]

[Ricepicker]

still really confused??

so i would need the 2 motor side bolts for this also right? (was reading that stuff on www.phatwhippinCRX.20m.com) but still dont have a clear picture on how it is connected with everything

[Steel]

Your being a bit confusing on what you are confused on. If you follow the HASport instructions step by step and that site you consulted is also very nice. So what exactly are you confused about?

[Ricepicker]

it comes with instructions!! dam.. i gotta get myself a kit then... thats the only piece of the swap thats missing so far.... does it come with new nuts n bolts?

[viperredrex]

no it doesn't
