Anyoen herer using solid motor mounts? Im nto even sure if you can getthem for a honda, maybe custom fabricated? I know they really helped in my 68 camaro, would they help in a honda as well??

Any opinions or comments

THANKS

 

If you like heavy vibrations, try Madd Engineering. Have you considered Urethane inserts?

 

Well i was thinking about making my own mounts totally solid.....i dont have nay at all right now. I Dont mind the vibrations , they were really bad in my 68 camaro. Does Madd Engineering have a web site?

 

you dont want solid mounts. use poly inserts. engine isnt suposed to be locked in place anyway

 

If you're suffering from lack of cash, try filling the mounts with Heavy weight buliders caulk, it's like a silicon sealant stuff that you can get from hardware stores.

It'll make you mounts alot stiffer and it's a damm site cheaper than inserts.

 

inserts are 11 bux

 

I have the Energy Suspension mount inserts and they work pretty well.

 

its not a lack of cash, its not a want of vibrations, I dont even have b series mounts. But im no stranger to fabrication, and i figured that solid mounts help North American cars, thjey improve shifting and decrease power loss. And mayeb they woulds help imports. An d i know i can fab solid mounts.

 

Look, you don't want solid mounts. You want Polyurethane mounts. Engine/transmission mounts are supposed to flex a bit, to prevent parts breakage. Think about it, if there is enough pressure that a polyurethane mount will move, wouldn't you rather have that pressure on the mount that on a stress point somewhere else?

 

yes i understand that , but its the same thing with say a chev camaro, other parts will break when you use solid mounts, but you apply more power to the drivetrain rather than losing it through the mounts.

 

anyone know the part number for poly. mounts for b16 in ef9? what companies make them?

 

the more solid the mounts, the more vibration you will feel inside and outside the car. the mounts are not solid for a reason---to absorb vibration. get solid mounts and the whole car shakes. try to find liquid filled.

solid mounts are for engines with much more horses.

The quickest and easiest thing would be to buy the Hasport or Place Racing mounts, grind out the eurathane bushing section, and then make up round "collars" or "adapters" to take up the space.

If doing the Hasport mounts, the adapter would be aluminum.

If doing the Place Racing mounts, the adapter would be steel.

You should plan on tack welding the adapter to the mount once done to prevent any movement.

By doing this, you prevent having to figure out the correct position of the engine in the car. It's already been figured out by Hasport or Place.

Of course, you sure don't have a guarantee on the mounts any more!!!

Now that I've answered your question, I have to recommend against it for all the reasons listed above!!!!!!!!! In addition to the Honda that I own, I also have a 64 Chevelle, (I'm an Administrator at "camaros.net" & "chevelles.com") so I know where you are coming from.

Thank you wes , at least i know there is someone out there with a north american muscle car that knows what im talking about, when it coems to solid mounts..

poly mounts != solid

 

How much power could you possibly be losing through your motor mounts?!
