Default Aftermarket motor mounts question

Okay guys.

So I have a em1 with B16a swap with stock motor mounts and all.

And I wanted to install some aftermarket no name brand motor mounts but I encountered that I need to change the 2 bolt post mount to the 3 bolt one. Is that true?

Are you really going to trust your entire motor (which, by the way, translates to your entire damn car) to some cheap, no name mounts? At least get some cheap Yonakas. Any brand worth buying will have both 2 and 3 bolt options to match what you have.

So you'd wanna replace your mounts for ones of lesser quality? Why?


Yonoka if you're on a budget.

Hasport if you want a solid high quality mount.


Do me a favor, don't replace your mounts, unless it is with either of those 2.

The no name motor mounts look like this. It seems to have better quality with polyurethane bushings of 65a.

Obviously hasport is the best brand but the no name seems like its replica. The bullet aluminum just looks stronger than yonaka ones.

Lol I don't see this ending well. What condition are the factory mounts in? If they are in good condition and you are trying to save some pennies, just fill the factory mounts. Its not the best way to go about getting solid motor mounts, but at least you aren't compromising anything. I would hate to see the no name billet mount develop a stress concentration along the edge and crack/ fail and you drop your engine on the highway....

Nice. I am sure the counterfeit Chinese aluminum is super high quality and the rubber has actually been tested with proper equipment to in fact be 62a on the durometer scale.

The cheapest brand name I'd ever go with are Yonaka. Used them in my vitara build with success. That being said I go for the big boys now tho

Yes, because knock off (probably not actually billet, definitely not bullet) aluminium is totally better than welded steel. Are you a professional metallurgist? Didn't think so. There's a reason cheap **** is cheap. Yonaka is the answer if you want cheap.

I honestly didn't read that nota racist had said Yonaka as well.. I'm telling you they are solid and keep that motor in place. I've put plenty of torque through them and their steel is quality for the price. You don't want Chinese bullets. lol might not make it out the case
