My top front right motor mount (oil filled) leaked oil last night and looks pretty trashed. I need to replace it, but I don't know if I should use one from an Integra, or from a Civic Si.

The car is a 2000 DX hatch and the motor is 2000 GSR B18C1 motor.

Here is a pic with the mount in question circled (not my car, but that's the mount I am referring to):



TIA for the help guys.

Any 96-00 isolator mount will work, Si is the same as D-series. You must use the 96-00 though as the Teg doesn't have that piece, it has the rubber mount part bolted to the block not the chassis.

Any 96-2000 civic mount will work. Why dont you just go with a after market mount such as hcp or hasport that wy you dont have the problem of breking it again.

Alright, I was in your situation a while back. The problem with the stock mounts are what was said above.

The stock mount (for y7 about 95tq to the wheel, y8 about 106tq to the wheel, and SI about the same as the y8 tq to the wheel) are all for low tq engines. When you put the stress of a 1.8 modded engine on them, its too much.

I broke my stock mount a while back with a 1.8 with bolt ons (fast shifting). There are several options... Full stock isn't one of them really, sorry I was hurt too. You have to put up with some vibration unless you switch over to a itr/eg mounting method for the main drivers side.

A. Full race mounts all the way around (Urathane or stiffer like Hasport or others)
They are solid state so lets say with the power of an NA engine, their not breaking.
Very good engine feel/minimal jerking.
Downside is vibration at idle can get kinda bothersome...

B. Solid state mount (Full metal mount)
Mount will NEVER break best engine feel ever.
Downside... unless your a track only person, your car will rattle to pieces and make you feel like your sitting on a dryer with rocks in it.

C. (My choice as a daily driver) Replace the stock liquid filled mount (the one you have circled) with another new stock mount + order Energy Suspension Torque mount inserts. They slide inside the torque mounts on the left and right bottom side of the engine and the rear engine mount. You will get some vibration at idle, but its not bad. I heard you can insert just the side tq mount inserts and not the back one to reduce vibration at idle, but I didn't try that.
Its like the best of both worlds. Low idle vibration and stronger mounts/response.

well, I guess there's D...

D. Stop shifting gears so hard/fast. It makes your engine jerk harder than what the stock mounts can handle so you get breakage.

Thanks for the pointers guys.

I went with choice C from the post above, and everything fits perfectly. I used a stock civic mount by the way, in case anyone has to refer to this post in the future.

And kay_animation, I don't shift hard - I "inherited" this mount with the car/motor, so who knows how old the mount is and why it actually broke. While inspecting it after I took it apart, the top rubber part had a big gash in it, which is where the oil was pouring out from.

Get some polyurethaine from home depot and fill it up and you have your self a solid mount.

bump that....go with a hasport mount. You'll pay more but it will be worth it.

tiem if any

I just blew my mount big time last night launching. I poped the hood and oil was everywhere around the mount and the engine torqued so far that it scraped the hood.

Check this mount out. This company sells just the drivers side replacement with a bracket and poly mount. I ordered this and I will let you guys know how well it works.

Here is a picture of the Hasport mount with bracket, part # EKLH.
