I just installed a set of Innovative 95A mounts and would like your thoughts on whether it is safe to get rid of the torque mounts. I did a search and came up short in the RR/AX forum.

I tried searching the rest of the forum and all I could find was the typical cross-talking jibberish.

I dropped in my new ITR swap today but it is missing the rods that connect the torque mounts to the frame rails. Id rather not hunt for some if I really dont need them.

 

are you talking about the front mount? or both front and rear?

you should be fine with out the front a lot of people dont run them when they do a b series swap. try posting the question in the tech area where you think best.

 

The two front ones that bolt both sides of the block to the lower frame rails.

 

Ditch em... i dont know anyone who still uses them after putting in any kind of aftermarket mounts.
Me included with my B-16

 

Exactly what I wanted to hear. Thanks guys.

 

+1 for not using them with my HASport mounts.

 

What year car is this, I'd say use it. I'm using it in my DA with Innovative solid mounts and it def makes a difference on a high tq car........
I actually just bought a new one and filled it in to make it solid.

 

High torque car? What the heck are you driving, we're all driving Hondas!

 

turbo charged RDX lol

 

i have all my motor mounts filled with Sika window urethane event the two front torque mounts, solid *** a ****.

 

High tw for a Honda

x2 cheap easy mod!

 

i had a built gsr turbo motor in my 4dr eg. with cheapy aftermarket 95a motor mounts without torque mounts and it was fine, nice and stiff...
i think they are more for security of your motor mount brakes. (not the original purpose though)

 

95A Innovatives are pretty stiff I am running the softer set without the mounts in my car and I am making over 500 hp with no problems.

 

The front lower mounts are actually mostly for NVH control. With all stock mounts, they are designed to work as a system. With stiffer aftermarket mounts, things change. There's a reason HASport doesn't make those

 

Awhile back Brian G from hasport chimed in on this question, he said to keep them just in case you ever get into an accident, safety reasons I guess. Take it for what its worth.
