I made a few solid motor mounts out of all metal. Got the idea from dturbocivic. They work good and the motor does not move.

my friend has a turbo neon that ate up mounts, when one broke he would burn the rubber out and use urethane in place, hasnt broke yet, he puts 405hp and 395tq through a welded diff, ya i think it works

I made my own motormounts from scratch. It's not that hard, I did it with almost no metal fab experience. Just takes time, especially if you are very picky about axle alignment and hood clearance.

used some rubber that we found in an abandon barn, at least 30 years old haha.. It's pretty stiff stuff. however, you can buy urethane from mcmaster I believe.

Easy!

I'm pretty sure that I describe how to make mounts in this thread.

I am a cheap *** too I fill all my mounts with 3M window weld it works great

I built my girl a turbo kit for her 93 si and it had terrible wheel hop I filled just the rear mount let it dry then installed it and the hop was completely eliminated and the car ran a 14.1 at 96mph full interior spare tire a sub and everything all its got is an RPS clutch and a 14b on 8 psi

Mcmaster 3" diameter polyurethane, Hardness 80A (boot heel): $65.81 for 6", $96.73 for 12"

If I ever find a clean EF and actually convert to hydro transmission (d-series), I'm definately making my own mounts. Actually, if I do anything that requires aftermarket mounts, I'm still making my own. If I didn't have access to a lathe, I probably wouldn't though.

why not? it would take a machinist a matter of minutes to do the work for you.

What do you mean?
It's an integra B-series mount..(driver side)

I meassured it made a drwaing of it in inventor.
It's a solid mount and has 2 steel pins that goes in on either side.
Pretty straight forward.
It's a heavy peace though.
I don't drive with it anymore lol..it was to harsh for daily driving.
