the front mount on my car is torn so i deceided id poly it but it ripped again

i saw that jim fab offers a solid one but after emailing them seems that they no longer make that mount (or ast least for now)

any one have any suggestions as where to find another person that carries the front engine mount for a 90 civic with a D series

thanks

 

I ordered a set of poly inserts for the side mounts on my ef. When I saw that the front was torn, I was able to use two of the inserts to fill in the torn mount. But now I have mad vibration at idle in the car.

You might want to find an oem front mount, and fill it with the window sealeant stuff to prevent it from tearing again.

 

The jimfab pieces are VERY nice, especially for the price he offers, hes got rear mounts too.

 

But he does not make the ef ones anymore... I tried to buy a rear off of him last month.

 

My 89dx didnt have one when i bought it. I swaped it to a sohc zc. I was leary at first not to have my front mount but its been of three months and no problems.

 

My front mount was gone also so i used that 3M window sealant polyurethane and filled in the stock tranny mount, drivers side mount, and rear mount ... 1000+ miles later and no problems so far knock on wood

 

well my whole car knocks around when i shift hard or get on it so i NEED to run the mount


anyone else make ones for our cars?

 

my b16a doesn't run the front engine mount and it seems fine

 

That reminds what kinda mount Could i run on the front crossmember of the b16 in 88-91 crx/civic's?, stock b16 mount if im lucky enough to find one?, or do they make a aftermarket one possibly for the 4th gen b16 swaps?.

 

you DO NOT need the mount.....if u feel that ur engine is bubbling around under there then get motor mount inserts....and if u feel ur motor is still bouncing around then ur just on some heave drugs

 

This is the e mail I got from Jim about 3 and half weeks ago when I ordered mine.
hello

thanks for your questions.

the front mount fits the stock D-series or zc motor. we now make them to order so they come unpainted and may take 3-5 days to get made before they get into the mail. the mount goes for $45 shipped with usps 2-3 day service.

please let me know how i can help.

thanks again-jim

 

yea i emailed him and he said that they had put the mount on the "sideline" for a while

to the people that say that you do not need to run the mount

i can visibly watch the engine in my car move forwards and backwards when i let the clutch out i can also feel it in the drivetrain the wheels move laterally when i let the clutch out i filled the front mount with window weld and it solved it for about a day then it tore again

i have filled my side mounts with window weld and im pretty sure that my rear mount is still in decent shape

doesnt mugen offer a full mount kit?

Yeah you dont need it if your running the *rattle your f@in brain out mounts* from Hasport or place racing. If you have any oem mounts at all, you need the front.

And negative Mugen does not make them. maybe once upon a time, but no more, the EF's are but a spec of dust in the eyes of Mugen nowadays.

 

yep all my mounts are stock but i filled 2 of them

thanks for backing me up on the need of the front engine mount or the tq mount as ive heard it called


maybe ill get some nice mounts because mine dont seem to like the 170ft lbs i toss at them everyday
