ok I'm swapping a B18C1 into my 90 CRX Si and I've read that place racing puts the motor too high and will have to get a custom hood and haspot set's the motor to low and will bottom out if you get a 4-1 header....what I want to know if these are true and which you'd recommend for a mount kit?

 

HASport & Joe at HASport are #1 in the business. NOTHING beats them.

 

did you try search motorsports? they just released there kit..

 

 

Hasport billet mounts rule! Just put a b18a in a friends hatch with them and the motor sits just fine.

 

HASport i got a pair of my own they ROX. They cost a little more but trust me they will never break on you like PR or HCP go with HASport

 

Actually they will... ive broken two of them. First i broke the one that bolts to the tranny, then i broke my rear one. They were also the older model ones not the billet mounts. they lasted about a year of alot of racing abuse.
hasport was really cool about it though. i sent them the broken mount and they shipped my new one out over night for no charge at all. the new ones have been cool for about 9 months now

 

I have place racing and the motor sits very low, my oil pan and header are all f*cked

 

HASport all the way, place isnt bad but i only trust HASport.

 

get the hasport billet aluminum ones nitrousdreamz has them nice touch to an engine bay

 

i got the PR but some friends have hasport. theyre **** is quiter, less vibration, i like it. i have no complaints about pr but id probably go w hasport someday.

 

In responce to breaking the hasport mounts, I wrong off my old CRX in a serious front end collision. THE BLOCK BROKE where the mounts bolt in on the back and the mounts came out still in 100% good condition. That was all I needed to see to know that it was HASport for life yo.

 

I hqve b18c1 in a 91 crx with PR and the engine does hit the hood. I'm pretty sure you will have that problem with just about any mount kit. I"m luckly I have a carbon fiber hood and its a bit flexible. I will need to get a JDM hood to solve all my problems.

 

I put Hasport in my CRX. It located the motor in perfect spots every where. I got the polyur. mount, expensive and I did not need a front mount.

 

I too have the billet hasports kit. I like it a lot, but my valve cover rubs on my hood a little. However I would rather have it rub the hood, that sit way low, and jack up my header. Ryan

 

we have so many people with hasport.. we should be gettin deals on their mounts

I my hasport billet.

 

As I understand it; the Place Racing mounts cant the engine with the top of the motor more forward than the Hasport. However, I don't know of any way to verify this!

I'm thinking of going with the Place Racing due to wanting to add a Jackson supercharger at a latter date and they would give more room. If I was going to run a turbo, then I'd go with the Hasport (more room between the engine and radiator).

The fact that Place has a crossmember with "fourth" mount is an added bonus, but I wonder about additional vibration.

I personally like the look of the Place brackets due their being made out of steel, however the blue color is a real stinker. I asked them about having them powder coated black and they said OK, for an additional $25 per bracket!! (bastards!!)

HASport. (spoken with boston accent)

 

i cant say which work better, but my in process b16 swap is going to use the haspost mounts...im suprised at how light they are! they are also the bling bling ones...also when we ordered all the parts w/the motor they sent the jdm shift linkage along with the axels and whole wiring harness...so now i have a hasport shift linkage and jdm shift linkage...cool i guess....swap should be done this thurs....

 

I would probably go Place Racing with this one. The reason? Only Place Racing has a mount for the hydraulic transmission. With the Hasport kit, you MUST use a cable transmission. Hasport has talked about a making a bracket for a hydraulic transmission. But they have basically back-burnered all R&D not associated with K-series motors. SHAME ON THEM!!!!

Great fitment, positioning, quality = HASport Billets!!!!!

 

man screw hasport i was sitting at a stop light and started to go and the tranni mount broke. so i sent it back right i paid like 20 bucks more to get it there next day right. hasport sent a new mount back 2 weeks later and that mount is sitting all cockeyed cause they made it crooked and that basterds wont return calls or e-mails. **** hasport sorry for the language

 

That's why I got Place Racing.... Two friends of mine got Hasport and the urethane is either coming out or ripped out and his engine bangs on the firewall...

 

I'd have to go w/ Hasport. I've just heard way more good things about those than Place. Hasport

 

Hasports are cool. I broke the rear one. Hasport fixed it for free, but it took 2 weeks to get it back. Now the driver side is jacked do to the rear mount beeing broken, so that means the rear one will break in a couple of months.
