91 civic dx d15b2 to d16y8 mount qeustion????

[bigwilly1878]

ok on the driver side mount i cannot get my stock mount to line up with the bracket on the motor of the d16 i know it should work because its a d series motor, i just dont understand what the hell is wrong with it. has anyone ever dont this swap???

 

[91CiVicSIhaTChVteC]

it will not mount .............. if im not mistaken u can use the bracket off the y8 ........ or i have heard u can drill a hole right thru the middle of the bracket on ur hf

 

[bigwilly1878]

ok so i can take the bracket off of my d15 and put it on my d16 or drill my current motor mount?? is that what your saying????

 

[91CiVicSIhaTChVteC]

take the bracket off ur d15 and put it on ur d16 .......... its the driver side motor mount bracket by the timing belt cover

 

[91CiVicSIhaTChVteC]

thats what i did with my y8 swap

 

[bigwilly1878]

so basically take the timing cover off, and remove each bracket, then put the d15 bracket on the d16 motor? that makes sense if thats what your saying

 

[91CiVicSIhaTChVteC]

exactly ............. take the bracket off ur d15 and put it on ur y8 and u should be str8........... lemme know how it comes out
