So i was thinking about swaping a b18c1(obdII) or even a b18c5(OBDII) with the auto tranny from the GSR into an EJ8(99-00). Sounds pretty straight forward to me, but what are there any clearance issues??? are there any mount issues??? what else should i expect to have to deal with???

As long as you've already got an automatic chasis car, it will drop right in. The GSR motor would be the better swap as I believe there was an automatic version available in Japan, so you should be able to get an ECU to run it.

not even sure if that is possible. the rear mount is different and i'm pretty sure you can't use an integra one. i remember a thread about this a while back on honda-tech and the consensus was that you can't do it. but who knows, maybe someone figured it out.

I suppose then a mount would have to be customed

Wonder if anyone has done this swap yet, I'd like to get some info as for driving feel of it, cause even with the larger engine with more HP i figure the tranny will eat up enough to make it match the output of the SI...

but of course being a b-series, i know some mods will be very pleasantly surprising

Given the traffic in the sf bay area and the hills that i frequent, the partying i do, and the fact that very few of my friends know how to drive stick, let alone drive well enough after a few drinks here in san francisco i just find having an auto more convienent for driving and incase i do ever get drunk...haha
