GSR into my ef

[egcrk90]

i have gsr in my ef i cant get the tranny mount into the car because the manifold wont let the engine go further back need HELP :blunt:

[90civicdx]

well do you have the cable or hydro tranny also it might be an easier fix to buy a proseries

[egcrk90]

yup i have that

[90civicdx]

what tranny cable or hydro...what mounts...

[b18c1DA]

what mounts are you using? is the rear bracket an 90-93 ls?

[89sizc]

yeah are you sure you have the right mounts?

[2poor2tune]

yeah. check all that. which mani?

[xswingkidx]

If you are using the stock gsr manifold you may have to "modify" the firewall. Skunk 2 manifold works better.

[egcrk90]

im using stock mani and have the hasport mounts

You need to buy a B16A or Skunk2 intake manifold.

The B18C intake manifold was not designed to clear a 1988-1991 civic firewall.:)

[egcrk90]

[2poor2tune]

wrong! the B16a manifold will not fit on a GSR head! the skunk2 mani for a gsr will work fine!

lol. mmmmmmmmmm doughnut!! DOH

It gives you a good reason to step up to a better manifold. "If you have to replace it, you may as well upgrade". When I did mine I bored out the throttle body and ported the manifold too. It was a nice little addition.

[noVtecHERE]

actually the B16 manifold will fit, but u have to do some good amount of fab work, i have had it b4...

well yeah i know that. but it doesnt bolt right on. and after buying the manifold then having some one fab it up (if he cant do it himself) might end up costing more and will deffitnately be more of a pain in the ass!! but good point!! lol

just did the same swap in my bothers ef. theres no need to change the manifold it will fit fine...

[illwill]

Well explain to him how you installed a B18C into a ef Civic. I thought the B18C intake manifold would not clear the firewall. I don't work on old Civics.

I prefer 1990-2001 INTEGRAS.:inlove:
