Yes it will fit. Do a search please.

But the best way is to get an entire front cut as you will need

1. Engine
2. Gearbox + driveshafts and rotors (brake upgrade)
3. ECU and wiring harness
4. Radiator (recommended)

Thats all I can think of for now.

Getting a front cut will have all of the above.

Yeah I agree.

It can be done. From memory a guy did it a few years ago, however he had to move the engine mounts up or down by 10cm. Can't remember which?

i say if you're going to do a swap do it properly. Bolt in or not the factory mounts weren't made for the engine you're swapping plus they probably have about 100K plus kilometres on them

Im with type one, get aftermarket mounts designed specifically for the engine and the EG engine bay... its better to be safe than sorry

Aftermarket mounts = $$$$

How many of you have changed the mounts on your cars after "100K plus" ?

Not many i'd say.

As long as the mounts aren't worn you will be fine (and this can be done on inspection).

vtir front cut 4k+ itr front cut 7k+

integra vti-r front cut is not as much as 4K. You can pick one up for under 3.5K easy.

How much is labour guys?
Cause I called Performance Centre and Charlie said for a engine conversion into a Breeze it'll be heaps of work and he wanted $2500 just for labour!?
That's crazy!!!
How much have you guys paid on labour and does that include tuning and everything to get it up and running well??

2500 wtf?
Thats nearly how much i paid for my whole conversoin for my breeze :P

Breeze is same as GL, u need to do an EFI conversion while ur doin the engine conversion.. meaning new fuel tank, pump and fuel lines..

He needs the mounts that came with the motor. Not aftermarket.

D-series engine mounts are not compatible to B-series motors and vice-versa.
