me and a couple of guys did a swap with a b16a2 with no p/s, a/c. swap was fine but there is a mad vibration. new engine mounts and all didn't have to do any fabrication to the mounts itself. but it seems like if the vibration is coming from the engine rubbing against the frame!?!? do swaps tend to do this and is there any cure?

 

Mis-fire? Pull each plug wire individually while the car is running, see if you notice a difference in performance, if so you have begun the isolation process...

 

naw it isn't a misfire/ it's a chassis vibration

 

Is it possible the mounts are shot? Can you actually see where it's hitting the frame?

so what doyou do if it does change where do you go from here

 

like i said it isn't a misfire because the car is running great and i went through a great deal of changing out the plugs, wires, ignitor, pickup, ignition coil, rotor and cap before the installation. the engine mounts are new/ nothing that i could see rubs againts the frame itself. could it possibly be just that the engine is a whole lot stronger than the previous it needs to settle in?!?!?!!!?

You perform a leakdown test, isolate the problem, could be minor, perhaps not. You really need to trouble shoot these kinds of issues

 

forget the bolt for the rear mount?
