Holy Motor Mounts!

90-EE90-EE Band Wagon
in Engine & Drivetrain
Im running an A1 Swap in my Wago right now, with the Billet Hasport Motor mounts with the black bushings.

I have never used hasport's mounts before, i have always bought innovative's stuff.

But this car have the worst viboration i have ever felt in my life!
The whole car shakes like crazy!

Now i have a set on Innovatives that i will be putting in with my GSR, but my question is, how can i make these solid mounts.... Less solid?

I dont know if the factory motor mounts are made from a differint material, buti was think about drilling some small holes in the polyurethane.

More like a stock mount.

Im sure that would take away from the vib, but do you think this would be unsafe?

All of my other efs were never this bad, and this is BAAAAD.

    Do you know what durometer the rubber is in your Hasport mounts? The color is not any sort of indication. You need to look at the package. Also, did you follow the torque sequence for the mounts from the Helms? It's usually the left and right mounts first, then the front and back.

    I bought the car swapped.

    I kn nothing about the mounts that are in it.

    And the box for my new innovative mounts was destroyed.

    I do not know about the toughness on them either.

    And i only have 3 mounts. Sides and the rear.

    My .02...find the front mount and install it. You've got three matched mounts and one that isn't, that could be the cause of the vibration. Also like Jaker said, double check all the mounting points and make sure the bolts are propely torqued.

    The Hasport Mounts come in 4 hardnesses/durometers:
    62A Street
    70A Race
    88A Extreme Race
    94A Most Extreme Race
    http://hasport.com/store/index.php/mounts/civic/ef/b-series-ef/efb1.html

    The Innovative mounts come in 4 as well and the color corresponds to the hardness:
    60A Street (Red)
    75A Track (Black) [Add $10.00]
    85A Race (Grey) [Add $10.00]
    95A Extreme (Red) [Add $10.00]

    As you can see, the softest Innovative mount is 2A durometer softer than the softest Hasport mount. So, you can tell what your Innovatives are from the color above - except both the 95A and the 60A are red but the 60A will feel rubbery to the touch and the 95A would be much harder.

    I believe my '87 manual rt4wd has bad motor mounts as it clunks when shifting occasionally. Is it difficult to replace the motor mounts? Do I have to pull the whole motor? It is stock. What is the possible problems that bad motor mounts can cause if not replaced?
    Thanks,
    Matt
