I have a 97 Civic EX with a LS motor in it. I bought it swapped, then the motor blew up, and I swapped in another LS using the same mounts that the LS that was already in there used. Well, now it's turbo and my engine torques like a mother.. I have dents in my hood from the wastegate and you can feel the engine move back and drop, etc.

I know my driverside mount is busted and I have the intention of replacing it before I go to the race track this Friday. The wierd thing is.. the mount isn't like any other one's I can find. And the Energy Suspension inserts are for a different mount.. The mount that is in the car right now is like a big rubber bushing with a stud sticking through the top. Obviously, I want to get the best, most stable setup possible.

I'm thinking about replacing the mount with the one I need [WHAT MOUNT DO I NEED?] and getting the Energy Suspension mount inserts.. OR I've been looking at solid motor mount (HASport in particular). The only thing that scares me about the solid mounts is that I'm afraid something else (tranny, axles) is going to give out.

Please give me your suggestions guys.

Synopsis: LS-T in a 97EX.. what driverside mount do I need? Energy Suspension Mount Inserts or solid mounts(HASport)?

Thanks guys.

 

bump for morning.

 

go with hasport

 

i agree with ekx4 go with hasport, the next step would be avid mounts.


yo ekx4 the conversion for obd2a to b i might be able to help u with, hit me up

 

So.. the Avid mounts are better than HASport mounts? Do you guys think I'll constantly be breaking axles (autozone special) if I get solid mounts?

 

If I wanted to keep stock mounts and put the ES inserts in what mount should I get for the driverside??

 

i have seen some type of engine shock that goes bewteen the engine and the firewall and its used to dampen the torque movement
