if i recall correctly u need the front lower cross member from DA6..coz the engine mount of that is a little different...

**91type-r** · 30-09-2009 07:25 PM

yes that is correct, i got a half cut of ada6 when i did my conversion and changed the front crossmember over. i am pretty sure the back one was the same as the b18a mount.

Thanks hey when u did your conversion was it a difficult process

If you're going to put a B16 in it, get the proper JDM b16 that came in the DA's if you can. Just my 2c.

Yeah im planning to but its going to involve another trip to japan to get the side moulding and mugen kit and engine ive already got the gauge cluster that goes in nxt week

or look for an old/wrecked EF?

standard da9 engine mount will not fit b16a.better off get a da6 front cut, everything bolt on,and youll get the nice jdm climate control and 8000rpm dash.

**Spoon DA9R** · 30-09-2009 08:42 PM

9500rpm

but i would suggest stick with the audm aircon...the climate control sks..

me old one

yer it was a bit as i had to change over the entire front harness to have everything plug and play. pulling the whole dash out and changing the gear over was the most time consuming.did it in a weekend with help from a mate. he did the mechanical part and i did the electricals.
note that the extractor flange that bolts to the exhaust is the oposite way to the da9. will need to change the cat if over if the bolts arent rusted on.

my advise though..honestly..get b18c...the 1.6 is fun..but not quite enough

by the way...if u r new u probably havent heard of this www.dacrew-au.com
