ok so I have a jdm b18c motor in my 91 non gsr chassy, do I need the 92-93 gsr brakets and mounts or do I reuse all of my stock LS brackets and mounts?
What transmission are you using? cable/hydro?
I have a jdm SIR Y1 cable tranny mated with the b18c motor.
so Im kinda stumped since I already have the motor and tranny in but my driverside axle keeps going bad and maked the entire front jump or viberate… Im sure its has to do with the driver side mount or braket so I need a pic of the braket im supposed to have. right now I have this wich was installed by the guy that did my swap…
Okay I have a 92 GS with a JDM B18C(R) in it with the JDM S80 hydraulic transmission. The previous owner paid to have the swap done by some local shop, I bought the car because it was a deal I couldn’t let pass by. After I bought the car I bought the 3 Hasport mounts for it because the stupid shop just twisted and mangled stock mounts to get it in and the whole lump was shifting around when you got on and off the throttle, it was really really bad and when I swapped my mounts I found out my stock rear mount was cracked hardcore. There is no front mount when you use a hydraulic transmission in a DA thats why I said 3 mounts… Anyyyyyways here are some pics of my driver side mount. It looks to me like your engine is site too far forward, like too close to the rad support and it should be back more towards the firewall, compared to mine anyways. What rear mount bracket are you using?
Here are the pics:
well i get that you used the gsr mounts for your 92 but since my 91 da6 was never ment for vtec so i assume im supposed to use the same year factory brakets and mounts. What I dont know is if the mounts I have now are the right ones since the shop replaced them without telling me.
Im sure im still useing the factory rear t bracket since it wasnt on my old motor… dude at the shop told me he reused it.
Am I supposed to use the 92-93 engine brackets and mounts or what do I need?
see thats the thing since the previous owner of my car got a shop to do it i don’t know what brackets the changed/didn’t change either.
one thing i do know though is i’m pretty sure the engine swap guide on this website says reuse all of your stock mounts for this swap. i just went searching for the engine swap guide but couldn’t find it again, maybe you’ll have better luck.
i know there are threads around on here that explain if you need to change any brackets or anything i just didn’t bookmark them unfortunately 
funny thing is tho my driver side axle is clicking away at full lock right now lol…
As far as I know, all 90-93 DAs share the same engine mounts – with the only exception being the driver’s side mount.
90-91 DAs and 92-93 DB2s share the same driver’s side mount. 92-93 DA driver side mounts are a bit different.
With that said, I don’t think sourcing a 92-93 mount will solve your problem.
The first thing I would do is visually inspect all of your mounts for condition and proper installation. Also check the intermediate shaft and verify that you have the correct intermediate shaft/CV half-shaft combination.
The next thing I would do is take the load off of all the mounts (best done with a shop crane) and loosen/re-torque all engine mount bolts to spec and in the proper sequence per the Helm’s manual.
I too have a B18C-R mated to a YS1 LSD transmission. However, my DA is a 1992 and I reused my stock motor mounts and also my intermediate shaft and both CV half-shafts.
well reason I wanted to source a 92 bracket and mount was since it was differnt for a gsr only for an unknown reason. there has to be a reason why the gsr has a differnt engine bracket and motor mount on the driver side.
Im sure I still have the same halfshaft since I inspected it myself before and after the swap.
And my motor mounts have all been checked 2 times since Ive had my tranny taken out and put back in for a rebuild by two shops.
also could my driver side axle be going bad if I had bad motor mounts that let my engine twist. I did notice that my front mount is torn and when i smash or down shift the motor swings a bit and thats when I get the chatter and wobble from the axle. strange thing is that it never did that before the swap and now it does…
yup having bad motor mounts will and could mess up the axles, you could even damage the the differential.
I’m just guessing on this part, so don’t quote me… But I think the reason why the '92-'93 DB2 and the '92-'93 DA driver mount is different is because of the timing belt cover. Either way, the bolt pattern is different… so if you have the DB2 block-mount, you’d need to use the DB2 rubber mount to bolt with it. Respectively, if you had the '92-'93 DA block-mount, you’d have to use the DA rubber mount in order for them to bolt together correctly.
But regardless of what mounts you’re using (DB2 or DA) the motor should (technically) sit the same way in the engine bay. So I am betting on your issue being a bad/torn rear mount. Ifyour driver/passenger/rear mounts were in good condition, I don’t think having a bad front-mount woild be enough to make your engine rock horribly. (Again, that is a guess).
So as said, I’m sticking to the assumption that your rear mount is installed incorrectly, or is bad. Find out which driver-mount you have, and get yourself some Hasport/Innovatives. That should solve your issues.

ok I just learned that autozone has been giveing me civic axles for the last 4 times ive swaped them out in the last six months. I took the car to get checked out by shop that does these swaps and they inspected my axles only to find they were civic axles. this has to be the reason why im breaking threw a new set every month. I used to have broken stock axles before then replaced them for new autozone axles when my swap was done and ever since my first test drive on vtec ive had this issue with the chatter and bounce from the axles…
Ive heard that civic and integra axles are the same but it cant be true since this is happening to me, can anyone confirm this?
As far as I know, b-series civic axles are the same, as far as spline count and axle size… the difference is in length.
But axles for an SOHC/D-Series civic are smaller in diameter so that would pose a big problem.
So, if I recall correctly… Del Sol Vtec axles or '99-00 Si axles would (theoretically) work if the length was correct… otherwise, civic axles is a big no-no on an Integra.

thats what i figured and dont understand why autozone keeps giveing me civic axles under the integra part number… I just contacted my local acura and honda dealer in orange county cali and was told that my driver side axle is disscontinued and dont have a date or notes on when its going to be sold again… whats up with that? and the guy quoted me $250 just for that axle.
I just spent $950 rebuilding my jdm SIR Y1 lsd b16 cable tranny and even had a LS 5th put in for the highway trips, I love this tranny but this probleme hasnt allowed me to enjoy my car very much since the axles keep going out. I know some of you would think its not that bad but my axles dont just make noise they grind and make the car bounce as if you were driving over the refflective markers glued on the street lanes… Im considering a gsr tranny wich is what I was told to use in the first place. is there anyway I can use gsr axles.
Verify that you have the correct intermediate shaft/CV half-shaft combination.
Verify condition of all engine mounts.
Find an actual Axle shop. I never buy oem axles, nor do I buy autozone-specials. I get mine from Henderson Bumper-To-Bumper. There has to be another shop to get them through in your area.

here you go bro. this place is in garden grove http://inlinefour.com/il4claxoepls.html 325 for both axles brand new. i also know of a place that remans. axles in pomona nate from “nastie garage” told me about them. i replaced my passenger side axle and haven’t had any problems with the boot ripping or axles popping out anymore, only thing is i dont remember the address but luckily its not that far from my house so if needed i can drive by and get the address.
I think im going to give inlinefour a call but first I need to replace my motor mounts for some hasport ones so if anyone has any used one for sale im buying…
I still think my bad mounts are causeing my axles to go out and if and when I do get new mounts in and I still have the axles issue then Im considering selling my da as a shell with all the mods and drop the motor and tranny in a crx. Or just sell the entire thing and move on.
Where is that guy in Pomona?
