Dedicated DA9 Q & A thread

**Pezman** · 03-10-2009 10:32 AM

i recently bought innovative engine mounts for my da. the transmission and the front mounts went in no problem but the side mount doesnt fit. its too long to line up with the old bolt holes and also the bushing is so wide it hardly fits in the bracket on the engine. has anyone had this problem? can i make it fit?

well u could cut it down but then it might not fit on the box coz u said it to long id contact innovative u might have the wrong mount.. its unlikely but its possible

i went for a ride in a b18cr 98 spec in a da9. it was not bad but i would get bored of it. i think the same for b16s there a heavier car then the eg. u prob wont really get much more from it then the b18a for all ur work.

ps. someone joined dacrew i fixed the new members so they can post (by posting not logged in) and they e-mailed me i replied but havent heard back can they please contact me i cant find ur user name

The passenger side engine mount is different between the 90-91 and 92-93 models - perhaps this was a factor?

I've got a set of Innovative mounts but I'm yet to even test fit them - here's to hoping they work out.

ive got an 89 da and i bought the mounts for 90-91 ls. they should still be the same series?
plus its only about 5mm too long but it just doesnt line up. maybe i could redrill the mount but im kinda peed cos it doesnt fit in the first place

The every day b16s just don't have enough guts, if you get the proper DA b16 then its okay, or the uber rare ones that came with 125k, otherwise just stick to B18.

b20 or h22a is the only swap that makes much sense

Go for H22a would be better but depends on what you want to do with it..

Although the Da9 was mainly suited to fit any B-Series engine. Well the h22a would be good but I have not seen anyone or heard anyone slammed a K-Series on Da9 yet
