does anyone know where i could find the urethane energy suspension bushing inserts for a 97-01 prelude? i have to get rid of the front motor mount for my turbo to clear and i want something stronger to support it. does anyone know of a place that makes it for my year or anything else that i could do? any help would greatly be appreciated

 

dont think they make one

 

you want to use only 3 motor mounts?

and yes, it appears that they only make the entire kit for 4th gens. The motor mount inserts however, fit both.

 

my turbo will not clear the motor mount. are you sure that the 92-96 fits the 01?

 

I can't imagine why not...

but as far as removing the mount entirely, I think thats a very very bad idea and you should look for some other way to squeeze the turbo in there.

 

it's the t3 60-1 .82 ar housing. it won't clear the motor mount

 

I have a friend running a 5th gen with no front motor mount and no inserts on the other mounts, he is still in the tuning stages, but from what he can tell everything seems to be ok as is, time will tell....

 

i know of someone doing the same thing too...just kinda worried that something might happen.

 

i just built the front mount for mine cuz i ran into the same problem as you did (no clearence) i used a energy suspention chevy 350 engine mount and some time with the good old mig welder

so...you still basically have a front motor mount? do you think if i ran with only the 2 side and back motor mount it would be ok???

 

check this out. i asked them same thing....

i think it could be done you just have to make the rear mount completely solid . inserts wont be enough.....
