So instead of spending 275 for mounts for my turbo accord (only one guy makes them from what i've found and that is ESP), I was just going to buy new stock mounts and make my own urethane filling. I found out that most people go to McMaster-Carr so I looked into product # 8644k24. It's a 60A shore, but after curing, it's temperature range says up to 180* F. Do engine bay temperatures go higher than that? I'm talking radiant temperatures from engine/turbo parts, not the temperature with the parts themselves just to be clear. I haven't found any threads with people having problems, but I wanted to make sure. Thanks guys.

Turbo engine bays can reach that temp. Mine has been as high as 285*F but that certainly isnt normal. <100* is stock range. So Id expect an average turbo setup to be in the 150-200* range. Obviously some improved airflow and venting will cut that down significantly.

However I dont think you would have any issues given that the mounts are further away from the heat and low in the engine bay.

I have never had a problem with my mcmaster mounts. I used the 80a

ok sounds good to me. I figured it would be fine but i wanted to double check just to make sure. my plan was to get mounts from the junkyard so that I wouldn't be without a car for a week. as long as there aren't cracks, i should be fine correct? or should i just go buy new ones off ebay for $100?

BTW you guys are going with the "flexible urethane" when you order correct?
