[race12001]

[newtuner]

my bad.. i kinda did go off for no reason... sorry man... stressfull day...


bump to a good thread

hey Man its cool we've all been there... btw i like ur car man... ive read alot of ur posts and well look up 2 u and all other 3geer's for that matter.. so thx for bein cool guys.. all of ya..

The si uses the same hydraulic front mount as the accord. The base models used another rear mount in the front. A few members have used the accord rear mounts in place of the weaker front. So there shouldn't be any problems with that. I would be worried with possible differences in the rear brackets between the accord and prelude. The standard prelude drivers mount (#6, #11) mounts differently than the si (#7) I think it would be safe to say that this won't be a bolt-on kit for a non si prelude.
I have a 1988 LX-i Coupe.

I have an '87 DX Prelude (manual trans) and I can confirm that it uses the same mount for the front and rear (#2). The side mount is the #6 and #11 style.

The kits will be for sale retail after this group buy, the prices go higher. Depending on whether or not there is enough to run another group buy, we might do another group buy, but not for the same amount.

You can always purchase thru me, just pm me, and I will email you the details.

Project Manager,

Im still in even knowing the rear mount bracket will be different for the B20A. I can work it out with AZ or have something fabbed up local to make it happen. Im very interested to see what they come up with. I would think that they could use the front, side, and rear and make a stable platform. But im willing to go as far as welding a mount to my tranny housing.

We will try to work it out so that the mounts produced for your cars are universal for both sides. I make no promises but I know that we can come up with something.

Oh what the hell. Put me on the list!

Good to hear! You have been added.

I went to the junyard and took a look at two accords and one 2nd gen prelude(carbed), and for the most part your setups are almost exactly the same except for the driver side mount on the prelude is different.
I will be discussing this with Adam about the design.

[AccordEpicenter]

pardon my lack of reading comprehension, but what is actually included with these mount kits? Also what mounts are replaced? Timing belt side mount and rear tranny mount? Is the dogbone and front mount on the crossmember included? Thanx

[oldschool3g]

add me to number 10

Added!!! Good, we now have 11. AZ is shipping out the B20/21 billet mounts for the 3rd gen Preludes, so as soon as I can get Adam on the phone, I will discuss this progress of this project.

Im with rob, robt550 or whatever his name is on here. Ive got the same engine and will have to deal with the same problems. Please add me to the list. Also until yesterday I never knew this thread existed. I could have missed it and that would suck. On #geez part maybe moving this to the main page or making it visible from the main page would help with people interested. Im also game for a second set of bushings. If it is possible to get something mmodified to work with the JDM B20a mounts that would be fantastic.

On a side note, do you know if AZ makes or has plans on makeing a generic top dogbone mount with adjustments? Nothing set as per engine but general in length to work with a variety of applications. It seems Honda was lazy and a single mount with added length could be used in alot of different places. Thanks mike

[Vanilla Sky]

I'm interested, but broke.

[RobT5580]

Im hoping the mounts stiffen it up enough to loose the dog bone mount!

[mykwikcoupe]

lose as in not use it completely!! Dont you think the engine torque under load will be too much for just the lower/rear mount? Let me think about this for a minute. Under load does the motor tilt towards the firewall or the radiator? If its to the firewall Id say ok loose it but if not?? I wonder if the turbo will get in the way of the new mount as it does the stock mount. Are you making your manifold closer to the #1 cyl?

[1funryd]

Ok Gentlemen, I need your help. We need good clear shots of all the engine mounts. I was talking to Adam the other day, and informing him of the challenges. He needs to see more of the cars that this kit is going to support.
He is unable to give a final price now, since we are dealing with two platforms and trying to make them both work as one kit.
If we have to do two different versions, this will up the price, which we dont want to do. And that dog bone mount looks like we might have to cut a new one out of billet as well.

AZ does not want to do an incomplete kit, so we need to see as many good shots of those mounts as possible, before AZ starts spending R&D money on this project.

So lets get them up. We need Prelude and Accord shots.

Be careful with too stiff mounts. Here's what happened to TwoLoudNproud





The front bracket has only 1 bolt holding the front mount. If you remove the top dogbone, this is the single point of failure.

I feel so Special

I feel so Special

Hahah, I feeled concerned about what happened to you.

I had that exact same setup on my car. A solid front motor mount. I was affraid that that exact hting happened to me... I guess I was right.

I did not think the mount would break like that specially hitting third gear but when i heard the motor hit the hood and saw my hood lift up i was like then i popped the hood and saw that i was like shit what the odds on it breaking rob is running a solid mount without the dogbone with turbo and lsd and his did not break but mine did.

[RobT5580]

It depends which way they go with the kit whether or not they would use the dog bone. Given they will do a driver side mount, rear mount, and either replace the front mount with a tranny mount or keep the front and do fix the dog bone.

I would think they can fix the dog bone with just inserts. The old bushings come right out by hand.

I will see what i have for pictures!
