so i got a ls in my hatch and the whole chassis vibrates. was wondering if it may be my mounts and if i do replace them what mounts would be a better choice. i was thinking innovative cause hasports are a lil to expensive for me right now so help me out HT thanks

 

bumps

 

yeah id say replace your mounts, especially the rear motor mount!! (that mount does the most, when it comes to stoppin the vibribrations) its a big difference when swapping from a d to a b-series (torque and weight) so get the mounts!

im not sure which brand 2 reccomend, but when i did my swaps (my civic and crx) i used a window sealer, filled in all the gaps in the mounts, and then added the poly-urethien(sp) inserts to cover it all up! let the sealer dry before installing them.... after that I had minamal noise

 

What kind of mounts does the engine have currently? They're probably aftermarket mounts in there already. If you want to reduce vibrations you're better off picking up some OEM ones. As the guy before me said, the rear engine mount is perhaps the biggest cause of vibrations, i'd change the front and rear if you weren't going to swap all 4.

 

yea i just have 3 mounts on anyway im missing the front so ima change that i hate all the vibration and im trying to look for some semi good mounts help

 

You're wondering why you have a lot of vibration... And you're missing an engine mount?!

 

Oh vibration? You need the all Billet mounts, that will rid you of the problem!

I only run 3 mounts and vibration is not all that bad, are you idling at like 200 rpms to get bad vibrations? What mounts do you have?

 

well i have different ones on is enjo precision and the rest are aftermarket

 

It should be the opposite, the more solidly mounted your engine is the more vibrations you'll get. So rubber would be better then urethane for vibration (but not for performance)

I don't think mounts is your problem. Look at your exhaust system, is it properly clearanced away from the body and are all the mounts in good shape?

 

exhaust? never thought of that. i have the same problem

 

lol no u need a good back mount cause if u have a weak one your shift linkage would be joking around when u shif and your bolts for the back mount can come off easy on the tran ...well thats what happen to mine also if you have a cable trans it's diff from hydo so make sure u buy the rite ones

 

i got 3 inch exhaust may that be the problem and yea ima change my mounts and check out my exhaust i just wanted to get sum other feedback any suggestions on mounts?? stock?? or wut??

 

all LSs vibrate like ***

 

no they dont


Are you get a vibration at idle? if so most likely not your mounts. possibly your exhaust. or something else is rubbing against the chassis of the car causing it to vibrate.

or is when your driving? ..(taking off in 1st? changing gears?) clunking type of noise? if so. then yes possibly a mount issue.


or if your running an aftermarket mount..(hasport/inserts/innovative) yes they can cause a vibration because they are stiffer so that there is less engine movement.




and what you look at this. if you need mounts i got a set FS CHEAP

it's not just ls's, it's engines other than d-series in general. d-series stock mounts are a lot more squishy and forgiving than pretty much any aftermarket mounts for a different series engine. because of this you will always get more vibration back through the car when going b-series, h-series, etc.

 

if ur not planning to boost trash that 3 in ....d series mount on a b series you got to be crazy to even do so if it even fits idw to know.....but aftermarket mounts brand... i really dont think it matters believe me or not it will vibrate like a vibrator up ur ***...unless ur car dont have and idler control like mine but when u rev it it will start vibrating on ur steering wheel like crazy ..and ur rpm sits at 500 without an idler cont.. u want the best mounts for ef swaps go with hasports they have a good name for their products and dont be fool by these peeps if they havent exp this i did for my self and learned ....do not go with different mounts because ur motor will sit cricket!!! hope that answered u cause if it didnt i think ur not even going to bother touch ur mounts at all....

 

I had hasport mounts in my EG and that **** vibrated like crazy b/c they are still.

I have innovative mounts that came with my CRX and they feel like they give more. I haven't been able to start the car yet b/c im waiting on parts. But I have a LS motor. I think innovative makes a soft set and a hard set. The red inserts are the soft set. If you want less vibration do NOT go with hasport. My brother has them in is car and it's going to shake the dashboard lol. Though I would never buy anything other than hasport if I was going aftermarket. They make a quality product and the fitment is very well done. I was thinking about swapping mine for hasport mounts but my car is just for fun not a daily driver.

If you have a B series in a EF or EG you should only be using 3 mounts. The front transmission mount gets removed on the CRX and it's not needed on both models

 

Hasport offers different durometers of rubber, harder and softer.....good luck

 

I have a question. I'm planning on doing an LS swap into my EF hatch. I understand that you only need the 3 mounts from hasport,etc... I was also told you need a rear L mount from a DA. Is that true or do you only need those 3 aftermarket mounts?

 

well yeah my whole dash vibrates on idle and a lil wen im driving too well thats wat ima do get rid of my 3 inch exhaust aint going turbo till later and go innovative all around with the red inserts and see how that goes............... And yes u use a t bracket from a DA integra

 

I've used the innovative steel mounts for more than three years now with no harsh vibrations at all.

 

Don't mean to thread jack or anything, so tell me to **** off if you'd like, haha, but where is that bracket located on the DA and what's it look like?

 

my d15 vibrates like crazy... but then again, i have poly inserts that makes my engine sit in there rock solid.

 

its located in the rear of the engine goes to the rear mount and to your tranny it looks like a T

 

that it does
