okay we swapped out my wife's 95 hatch from d15 to b16a jdm, also obd1........everything went smooth and dandy, car starts up normally but we ran into a major problem.

the rear bracket mount wont line up correctly, it should be the right mount becasue all the bolts goes in perfectly but it wont tread thru. its just a few mm short to where it should bolt in. we figured that the motor is tweaked a little, because the alternator pulley is touching the chassy. i called a performance shop and was tld that i might need a new passanger side mount or a rear brakcet, but when i told him its an auto to auto swap he was stuck:confused:

so guys i know its auto but its for the wife, if anybody out there who has done this swap (auto to auto jdm b16a) please help......
 
ok, a few mm is nothing, sometimes it takes a couple tries to get that rear mount in, you may have to rock the engine back and forth a little to get the bolt to go through the hole, as far as the pulley touching the chassis, I had this problem with my brother's eg hatch when we put his gsr engine in, the reaso it touches is because the chassis is a little twisted, either from an accident, or other manufacturing reasons, just use a good size hammer and bang the chassis out of the way for the clearance.
If you really think that the mount is tweaked then get a mount for a 94+ integra (auto) and try it.
