so i finally got a b18c1 for my 98 dx coupe, im going over all my parts and stuff, and i realized i dont have the two lower mounts, i have the rear mount, driverside mount and passenger side mount, but no lower torque mount on either side, i searched around but found nothing, all the hasport and innovative mounts just come with the three mounts i already have... no way i could run without them, can i upgrade to hasport mounts or innovative mounts and run without them? are they stiff enough? i cant find anything on the torque mounts, input would be nice.

again, b18c1 into ek coupe

 

......

 

i got the car with no tq mounts or brackets on the b18c or the civic shell... just two holes on the underside of the frame on each side....

 

if someone has pics of what the two lower mounts look like or where i could get them, id much appreciate it, i tried to search it, didnt find much.

 

the hasport's are stiff enough thats wat there for if u want the tq mounts the gsr ones should fit.

 

i'm running the 3 main mouths from avid without the tq mounts..car runs perfect..but if you want you can use any b series tq mounts and brackets..any dc or si will work fine..

 

im only running two innovating and mines are super stiff wierd though with my na set up vibrates like crazy but its really smooth with my turbo on

 

If you want a smooth runnin car use the top three mounts. new oem mounts will do...and nothing will vibrate. avids or hasports.... your whole dash and steering wheel is gonna vibrate like hell for a daily driver. either way I hardly ever use those lower torque mounts anyways. They are nice to have if u have them but if you dont no biggy. But if you want it nice and smooth just the top three new oem mounts on.

 

The turbo setup hanging off the front of the engine (mani, turbo, piping/couplers, intercooler, ect...) eats up alot of that vibration. All motor deff vibrates alot more. Downright dumb for a base hp daily driver if you ask me. Go oem unless you are making some bigger hp.

 

you dnt need two front vib mounts just trans t bracket and drivers if you realy want them try tigerjapanese or inlinefour.com

 

With aftermarket mounts the 2 lower ones are not required. Without aftermarker mounts or at least bushings i would run them.

If you still want them just get oem ones.

 

Im runnin innovative billet with 60a street bushings no torque mounts with no problems. Torque mounts in my opinion are useless and they look like crap if your trying to make it look nice and clean under the hood bro. Oh ya my rides a 2000 SIR EK coupe with a GSR also

 

If they were pointless honda wouldnt have put them in.

 

I bought these mounts too. For the money, they are one of your best options, put them in, they are great for a street car, and you shouldn't have to worry about them again

The rear T bracket and drivers side engine block mount bracket will be needed from a 99-00 civic Si if you don't have them already

 

Well if you have innovative or hasport they are pointless mounts as hasport or innovative give you all the strength you need and its plenty stiff. if you have lameass stock soft **** mounts then ya you need the torque mounts. do whatever the hell makes you feel better. I guess trying to help you is pointless since you dont want to listen to peoples expieriences and you wanna to be cocky

 

Where was I being cocky??
The way you type makes it seem the only one that needs help is you.

 

I'm running innovative mounts on my 98 hatch with a gsr swap. No torque mounts and still no problems. I think you'll be more than fine without them especially if you're ordering aftermarket mounts.

 

yeah, i think im gonna get some innovative mounts, and just run the drivers side, pass. side, and rear mounts. the stock ones seem so janky. id like less flex. i dont mind the vibration. thanks for the input guys.

but im still interested in everyones thoughts on the necessity of torque mounts.

 

My friend has the innovative and loves them, quite a few other of my friends have the hasports and inovatives as well. I will have them in about a week.
the mounts arent required with aftermarket mounts, but they arent pointless.

 

torque mounts are there to
A. keep the engine from torquing back instead of placing all the pressure on the rear mount
B. keep the engine from entering the engine compartment in the event of an accident
C. keep the engine from falling out of the engine compartment in case of upper mount failure

 

^^nice lol. Torque mounts = good.
