i just want to no if the front mount is really needed. i mean well im buying the e-speed motor mounts for the crx with a d-series and they dont come with a front motor mount. plus i notice its alot harder when using turbo dowpipes. thats my other question since im doing a hmt set-up wouldnt it be easier not to have the front mount in place. anybody runing without one.

 

My front mount is broken and when i`m going down a hill and holding onto the shifter i can feel the motor rocking back and forth. I wouldn`t say it`s a good thing.

 

i know a few people who dont use em. i have the stock d series with the stocvk mounts. i just used 3m window weld to siffen em up. work like a champ. almost no shifter movement.

 

I was gonna buy the inserts but i`ll try the window sealant, a little cheaper.

 

something IS needed to hold the damn engine in place, or ur gonna rip a axle out or soemthing. I just put a new mount on, and when it first came off i could see my shifter litterally moving from front to back RAPIDLY and would sometimes pop out of gear and make me rev in neutral like a dumb ***.

 

**** looks like keeping mine on even with brand new mounts and inserts. thanks for the info guys

 

sorry to thread jack, but im getting a horrible noise from my engine bay when i reverse too hard and sometimes when i intentionally spin my wheels.. sounds kinda like a pop. i noticed my front engine mount is pretty bad. could this noise be the bold hitting the metal of the mount??

 

I don`t think it would be the bolt hitting, but i`d check all your mounts and just retighten them for fun. A loose mount will defenitly cause a knocking noise when spinning your tires or reversing hard.

I would use it whenever possible.
I've also never had a problem with it interfeering with any downpipe setup I've done.
When I had only stock mounts and no front mount my motor would lift like a **** on the dyno and jerk a bit when driving. I added the inserts and it got rid of maybe 75% of the lift and jerking. When I added the Innovative front mount it killed the problem 100%...now just waiting on my solid mounts to replace the inserts.
(sidenote: ES inserts + window sealant + freezer= )

 

can you put window sealent in the mounts with them still in the car? make it so much easier then taking them out one at a time and putting them back in. i dont see why i couldnt do it with them in.

 

well because explicit speed has brand new steel motor mounts with insert for 230 shipped they look killer but they only come without the front mount.

I think that's a good price. It's possible that the solid mounts could compensate for that movement. You can also add an insert into your OE front mount and make it solid.
I would have picked up a explicit set for my own car if it weren't for the use of Innovative pieces on mine already.

is there a write up on how to put window sealant in the motor mounts? think i searched but couldnt find anything. if i took my time it wouldnt be a huge mess.

 

Go for the Frount mont its very important,
my frineds had a turbo in his car(G1teg) and dont have front mount, he ofen had problem with months and shifter.

It's so stiff the car vibrates like a bitch now. I like it though, feels more race car like.

 

im just going to buy the explicit speed mounts and a insert for my front mount. how do you guys do it with aftermarket traction bars since you cant put a front mount

Innovative Mounts has a front mount for the bar.

 

i thought innovative bars were crap though?


i thought they were less functional and more made for room.

 

plus they say there crossmembers are only for b-series engines i have a d-series it would work then
