Urgent need HELP B-series Install!!!!!!!

[Legend_master]

I have got the engine in the bay and the rear mount for the PRI dosent line up with the rear mount braket of the b-series. Is there a different bracket that I am suppose to use for the b-series into a 3gee? it seems to be to long.

got picks?

got picks?

I think the braket is the wrong braket for the b-series motor, I will go to the junk yard tommarow and pull the right one. here is a teaser pic.

you using a hydraulic b-series tranny? cus i think the placeracing kit is set up to use a cable 5spd b-series tranny. the brackets might be different. good luck on the swap.

nope I am using the LS cable tranny. I think I might have gotten a bracket for a d-series or something like that, because the bracket extends all the way to the firewall. On a side note to anybody doing the swap, make sure to remove your back to front cross member so the there will be clearence for the exhaust.

[mykwikcoupe]

umm well ive never done a b series swap other then the jdm b20a but im pretty sure that crossmember is there for tranny/engine support and maybe some structural. does the pri kit make up for this in some way or are you running just the front, back upper mounts with the tranny mount and the dogbone up top? Nothing underneath?

[ICEMAN707]

i believe the purpose for the front to back crossbeam is to support the weight of the tranny with the a20. on civics and integras, the b-series have a tranny mount on the passenger side frame rail to support the weight. placeracing has a bracket for this that you have to weld into the passenger side framerail.

Thats correct, the tranny mount replaces the cross member. Also mykwikcoupe there will be no more dogbone mount uptop any more. That is eliminated.

where did you get that engine? if you got an engine imported from japan, keep in mind that it's right-hand drive over there. the rear tranny bracket might be different to give clearance to the steering. replace it with a USDM bracket if that's the case.

Nope it is an LS-vtec The bottem was pulled from a junkyard car and the bracket was bought off of H-T.com. I think he sold me the wrong one, but I will know for sure tommarow.

good luck. keep us updated with pics. also, 88lxi68 should be able to help you out, PM him. he had an ls/vtec in his 3gee. i dunno if he sold the car or not.

Ok the problem has been solved. I had the rear bracket from a 94-00 integra and I needed one from a 90-93. Also the brake lines that run across the rear firewall must be moved up to allow for clearence of the mount .

[Legend_master]

heres a couple of update pictures, I will keep you up to date on the progress.

the passenger side integra axle is way to long . I dont know what I am going to do if I can't find a PRI axle.

[white ricer]

ive never heard of anyone doing this but we used to get our axles shortened by moser, I wonder if they would do halfshafts.. or if its possible? just a thought.. Rock on with the b motor

What is moser and how do I contact them.

i guess i am a lil too late but i was gonna say there is a couple different b series rea mounts. 90-93 teg, 94-01 teg 99-00 si. they are all b series but all different. so i guessi can use the teg axles like i wanted. ill look around town and see if anyone can shorten it. tell me how much it needs to be shortinged

Well I figured out two ways to fix the axle problem. Either use a a 90-93 passenger side integra axle (I had two drivers side axles ) and remove the dust ring on the back of the hub ord use an 86-89 integra passenger-side axle.

[SQ is the SQUAD]

ok, i feel better now. yeah, i removed my dust rings already. it was kinda a tigh fit getting the axle through the hub, i use the nut and a air gun to get it all the way through

Whaat..? The integra axle is shorter than the stock accord axle, I just got a set of teg axles today and compared them, and there is a dude on here that has the accord axle with his b series, he said so in my "why can't I use this axle" post..

[Accordtheory]

I believe the 90-93 and 94-01 passenger side teg axles are all the same. Don't quote me on that though.
The driver's side is obviously different, due to a different style of intermediate shaft.
