polyurethane motor mounts - D-series.org

07-24-2005, 08:06 AM

today I did some tuning and while taking the car for a test drive decided I wanted to see if I could leave alittle rubber on the ground. . . . so from start at about 3500 I left a real nice patch and then in second a shorter but good patch (no scuff marks. . . . nice black rubber mark

) I've heard the poly motor mounts get rid of the wheel hop but increase the rigidity so much the entire car shakes and rattles like crazy (my bro took them out of his rsx because it shook too much)

any one use them? do they really help that much? rattle?

i just filled my old stock mounts with a polyeurethane filler. (like caulking).. they are alot stiffer thats for sure, and yes if your engine doesnt idle perfect you will feel every little thing.

I like em. It just depends on your taste. If it were me, I would goto the junkyard or try to find some old crusty mounts. Spend the 3-10$ depending on what tube of poly you get and try them. The worst case scenerio is that you put the stockers back on.

I did the mounts more or less as a money saver. When I swaped in the d15b the mounts were pretty shot, so instead of spending whatever they want for new ones I just bought a tube of windshield adhesive that 3M makes.

i use them, the car doesnt shake that bad. there is just a little bit of a hum inside the cabin because of the vibes. i hardly noticed it at first, and barely do now that im used to it.

my lower torque mounts are filled with 60A poly. Running oem mounts for the rear and 2 upper mounts. I talked to a vendor about getting a hasport mount for my upper drivers side mount. He stated that the mount would cause enough vibration to make a quarter dance on my dash. So I went with a new OEM mount.

Energy suspension's mount inserts got rid of my wheel hop, but now everything resonates at 1200rpm and 2200rpm. I've had two dash screws work their way out, and once the radio came out of the dash almost an inch before I realized it (it does help to screw it down, oops). Plus, stuff in the doors buzz, CD cases make a lot of racket, everything in the rear view mirror is a blur...

Just takes some learning to drive right: don't drive with A/C in town, don't let engine speed drop too far when slipping a slow takeoff, and remember to downshift when slowing down before the engine starts shaking.

If your to stiff make sure u get a flexpipe on your exhaust. U will start hearing a knocking noise when shifting gears from 1st-2nd.
