I am putting a b16 in my 88 hatch. I am putting in the hasport mount kit, but I just saw today that there is a front mount on the b16 that isn't included in the mount kit. Does this mount bolt up to the stock location, or do I just leave that mount out? What's the deal?

 

leave it alone it is not used. the only ones you use are the right, left, and rear

 

Yeah the hasport kit doesn't have a front mount and you don't really need it.

The HCP kits does include a front mount.

 

The HCP kit does not include the front mount, the HCP kit is a three piece kit just like Hasport. If you buy the HCP race kit it has the front mount, I have it. We had to modifiy the front bracket but I'm really glad that I have the front mount on there.

 

Negative. I didn't buy the race kit and I have the front mount. I haven't put it on, because I didn't want to mess with the front bracket. But it did come with my kit.

This was also over a year ago, so I don't know if they changed or not.

 

They still offer it but it is called the (Race Version), it's about $30 extra. You have to be pretty creative to make it work but I imagine it can only help with wheel hop concerns. I could take some pictures later on if anyone wants to see what is necessary to make it work.

 

Yeah I'd like to see some pics of how you did it. Just incase I ever get the urge to do it.

It may not be needed but I think if you plan on doing any type of high power applications with your B power plant you probably should use it to reduce wheel hop.

 

With my B series swap i had to cut the front cross member. due to the limited space for the header. a cut cross member doesnt last long while its cut . so i have to replace it with an after market cross member which does not have a location for the front mount to bolt on. so make sure you dont have to cut your cross member before you spent the extra money and time on a fron mount. I beleive only certain 4-2-1 headers will fit without cutting.

or get a jim fab or z10 crossmember

 

most people can get away with using only 3 aftermarket mounts since the bushings are made of polyurethane which is much stiffer than the stock rubber mounts.
