I have a d16a6 turbo, 2nd gen CRX.

I was lead to believe that the place racing crossmember came in a couple of different flavors, one of which would have the correct mount for a d16.

I have the crossmember in, and it fit fine, but the front motor mount on the crossmember is about 3-4 inches left of the d16 tranny mount, and the crossmember mount is also short of the tranny mount.

Place Racing as been absolutely useless. I could get more information from a lump of dogshit than the guy who answers the phone (owner?) at Place .

Can anyone help with the following:

1) Are there really more than one version of the PR crossmember - does one that works with the d16a6 front motor mount exist, or are people just lying to me?

2) How much is that front moutn needed? I am re-doing the stock mounts with much stiffer urethane, so can I get away without the front mount?

Any help appreciated!

i dont think theres an option for front mount for d16

im running without it....but only way to do that is to stiffen the other 3

i used window weld and caulked it into the other mounts

you can buy ES Mount Inserts also

3 is pretty solid, no problems car shakes a little at low idle but thats expected

im trying to think of a way to accomadate an engine damper of some sort to fix the problem above

 

oh btw ....i love the room created by not running the front mount

you can easily run a 3" DP no clearance issues at all

 

That front mount that Place sends you is if you use the B series mount kit they have. You don't have a B series engine, therefore, the front mount is useless to you. The front and rear mounts are what control the engine rocking back and forth under hard acceleration, so I hope the new mounts you are using are strong (since you're only using one for front/rear movement).
