DC5R Aftermarket Heavy Duty Engine Mounts

[obsessionz]

Hey guys my front engine mount snapped as the honda oem ones are weak and don't last long at all so i got energy mount inserts put in but cars vibrating heaps... anyone know a heavy duty engine mount that doesnt vibrate as much? or do they all vibrate?

[Bludger]

they are mean't to smoothe out the vibes (oem)

they are meant to be stiff as hell (aftermarket)

[EG5]

innovative mounts ftw! it will feel abit better inside the cabin compared to what u got

[6000rpm]

innovatives have considerably less vribrations than the inserts. mine feel like stock.

although the kit comes only with the two side mounts and the rear. the front mount is sold seperately. so your going to have to get the innovative front or new oem since yours is broken.

[obsessionz]

thanks for the advice... so you reccomend going the innovative front mount over stock... is there engine response and less wheel hop? whats involved in installing it?

[DC5TYPER]

Why would you spend $600 for mounts that feel like stock. Its gonna be either OEM and weak or aftermarket and strong.

I rekn deal with the vibrations. :thumbsup:

[Anthony38]

I have innovative mounts in my DC5R.

Vibrate like hell especially when the A/C is on. I can see my window wipers shaking! Over time though the vibration lessen.

No engine moment and wheel hopping!

Recommend it if you like driving your car fairly hard! I certainly do! :wave:

Innovative mounts need to take time to SIT IN.....when you 1st install them the tend to vibrate a lot but over time it will sit in and dun vibrate as much....if you want harder engine mount but not vibrate as much....you can try to get mugen....its harder then stock but not like innovative or insert....let me know if you want one....can hook you up with some good deal....

[eriktufa]

Mugen is what you want

[X8TEENX]

innovative= wheelhops killer....the cons is ur stock front engine mount killer as well....:D

if u use mugen and u r the hard driver, i will expect ur mugen mount might broke again after 40k kms

[obsessionz]

mugen ones break too?

[X8TEENX]

if u r a hard driver...it will broke again...cause mugen is just OEM style with harder rubber....but of cause can last longer than OEM (2X i think)..

[mku01]

does it apply to dc2 mounts as well?? i'm about to get them and i think for dc2's it comes in 5 mounts?

[EL_DC5]

im confussed, How many mounts does the dc5 have and cant you get them all inovative or what eva

[X8TEENX]

dc5 had 4 mount....front,rear,both side..usually wat u bought is just both side and rear, and initially purchase the front 1....of cause u can purchase all 4...but then it just cost u 700++ to just get the set of mount...

Just wondering.. what happen if one of the mount broke? wouldnt the engine will drop or something :confused:

and how the hell can the engine mount break? I never hear any problem with my cars that engine mount break :confused: that's why I never know about this engine mount thing

[EL_DC5]

well my car is new, so how long till i have to change my mounts
or should i change them when im getting my headers or LSD put in

[dark138]

thats what i want to know as well...

i get this "bok" noise when i corner hard, or go over speed bumps, and i've been wondering if its my engine mounts.

instead of my vtec fell out - "my engine fell out yo?" :wave:

imo i think its a must to upgrade your engine mounts if your thinking of running aftermarket headers or heavy duty clutch. oem dc5 mounts really do suck.

youve got a number of options to overcome this issue.
esmm inserts for the torque mounts
sikaflex oem mounts
solid replacement mounts like hasport, innovative, mugen
or the use of a torque damper

engine wont fall out lol

[Tofu]

the Mazda3 MPS is known to break engine mounts because of all that torque, so if you drive your dc5 hard all the time, then the engine mounts will blow.
usually it's the one near the abs unit that goes first, this is a liquid filled engine mount.
I have broken this mount 3 times in 4 years. They were all oem mounts.

[mku01]

Jeff what mounts are you using now?

any recommendations for dc2?? :P

[X8TEENX]

after i change to ORC clutch for 4 months, my front mount broke...usually it won't broke if u only had a minor mod. on ur car (catback, intake, etc)....
