Is there a good thread with pictures? I did mine this weekend and could do a write-up. I did not find anything with pictures when searching. I also do not wish to waste my effort.

It's never a waste. Make one and add it to the FAQ's. I'm sure some noob will find it useless someday. Plus if there is one that's been made years ago, most likely the pictures are all dead.

Besides, even if there is one, if you couldn't find it then it's not doing anyone much good. Looking forward to seeing what you put together.

aint seen one, but its an easy install except for the rear mount

There would be focus on the rear mount for certain. I'll write one up.

This was done on a 97 GSR with the stock IM.

I did my rear mount over the past weekend on my 00 gsr.
I will share my experience.

I removed the throttle body, Heater hose on the passenger side (don’t need to remove both of them)
and the Charcoal canister with brackets and I was able to get the old busted mount out without a problem.
I used a long extension with a swivel connected to a short socket. Came right out, I was feeling great!
The center of my stock mount was totally removed (torn) so I was able to slip the mount right out.

Now to get the Hasport mount in! Put a jack under the oil pan with a block of wood and removed the driver and
passenger side horizontal mount bolts. Also removed the driver side torque mount.
Jacked the engine up as far as I could and started working the mount in
from above. I didn’t touch the T bar bolts, didn’t want to mess with that,
The damn passenger side heater nipple on the firewall is your biggest enemy.
I was actually able to pound the mount past the nipples after about 10 min it finally
slipped into place! The nipple was a bit mangled but since its copper it was easily
bent back to shape.

The rest was just putting everything back together which seemed like cake work after
dealing with fitting the mount in.

I started the job Friday night and stopped working when I got the stock mount out.
Finished the job Saturday morning. It was a sucky job but if I had to do it again I think
it would go a lot smoother with what I learned. Trick is to take your time and try not to get
frustrated. If you do take a break and walk away from it.



This is the view I had after removing the TB, Heater hose and charcoal canister.

Believe it or not, some of us still have stock GS-R IMs :/

I like the stock IM.

I wound up removing the throttle body and the K-bracket. No hammers were involved. It was tight to say the least.

I like the stock IM as well.
I picked up another and ported it, removed flashing and just cleaned up a little, but
im not looking forward to taking the stock IM off for the 1st time!

Some suggest a bent wrench for the IM bottom bolts. I cannot recall how I took it off years ago.
