When swapping a H series in a hatch/del sol/civic you only use 3 motor mounts... The tranny side, rear, and drivers side. However, when honda designed the prelude they chose to use 4 motor mounts. Tranny side, rear,drivers, and a front mount as well.

I am having a custom manifold made for my turbo setup and the front motor mount is somewhat in the way. So I was wondering if any of you guys knew if it is ok to remove it or not. Personally, I do not think thats the best idea in the world due to the load that will be put on the other 3 mounts as well as having a motor that will have over 350 ft lbs of torque to the wheels.

I can have the manifold redesigned and go with a top mount turbo instead, but I am curious as to if it is ok to ditch the front motor mount on a 4th gen prelude.

Thanks.
