Go for the stiffer stuff
Just the front mount wouldn't really cause too much if any vibration...
The rear mount will probably cause the most vibration from the engine

and trust me, go for the hard stuff, you will LOVE it, and the feedback it gives. you'll only hate it for a little when you take off slowly (shudder)
...well i do like it stiff
prob wont be looking into doing it for a couple of months though.. unless i can get some old mounts
we should get all the SiR boys together one night for a photo shoot too
Why not do it now?
If its broken whats the problem?
Take it out in the evening and fill it... Let it dry overnight and put it back in the morning
DXS: speak to damo from easternhonda, he should be able to confirm it, as i get all my honda parts through him an he has all the sir part numbers. or ring up a another honda spare parts, and ask for the part numbers.. you will need to give them your vin number tho cos its a import etc.
Dylanamus: you dont have to drop the engine out completly to change the mounts.. as already said, jack up the car, lift the engine up slightly with crane and you can access the front and both sides mounts. the rear one you cant tho, cos of the bolt pattern.. theres one that sits just behind the actual mount, which requires the engine out (still a bitch to get to tho)or drop out the supporting beam(not sure what its called, it runs along the back underneath the firewall.
i changed all my mounts with out removing the engine or rear crossmember just one bolt on the rear mount is abit tricky to get and for the front one drop the front cross member and it should come out easily
dude,
i bought custom engine mounts for my B16A conversion on my concerto, the OEM mounts are almost identical to the EF/ED, but i wanted a stiffer and race look. so i bought custom mounts.
Try giving Jim a call from Online Performance in Sydney and he can hook u up with custom local mounts.
they dont look as good as the hasports but they do the job.
Its full poly and its red and blue in colour.
the only downfall is u may get some vibrations but in the cabin give u a race feeling. :wave:
When u rev hard , or on idle u dont see ANY engine movements at all.
if u get the EF/ED Kit to B series, you can use on either B16A/B18C engines on the same kit.
from what i recall they cost me $400 the set.
give them a call.
ok...
I have an EF8.. which already has a b16a stock
when most people say EF/ED they are brainwashed by americans who call their ED's EF's..
so basically ED/EF mounts to B series are different to EF8 mounts..
but anyway
i am just wanting to do a cheap improvement.. i am sure just altering or replacing the stock rubber bushings will be suffice.
i doubt aftermarket mounts will make much difference than stock mounts with stiffing bushings anyway
the aftermarket ones im talking about are FULL Polys and no rubber stuff like the OEM ones,Quote:

i reckon there is a big difference.
my 55 cents! :P
well there are various options..
i have found sites which show people removing all the rubber and then filling with a polyurethane..
but basically, i am not willing to pay 400 for mounts.. when i can DIY with stock mounts for 1/8th of the price and probably get almost the same result...
but anyway here is a pic of the EF8 setup for reference

good stuff ..if only this was an option for my car besides going custom!!
let us know how u go with the above, as it would be interesting to know.
a good FYI.
