just pour it in nice and slow. the bubbles will rise to the top but you can vibrate it to help them rise faster.

chtrcy will have his mounts back in tomorrow evening. will report back with an update on an auto with front and side mounts filled. the rear will start next monday.

 

Thanks for the fast response!

Ill let you guys know how it goes.

 

sweet

 

Three of the five are done. I had the front mount all taped up, or so I thought, so when I poured it it leaked. Oh well, I've got another can and I've still got to do the pass side mount. 80A is STIFF. I can't wait to install them.

 

just finished the front and side on chtrcy's auto. damn! no mas hop and plants the tires now.

 

im gonna do this when my car is gonna be taken to the track.

 

meant to also mention:
vibrations are increased slightly. you can here it in the cabin but it is very tolerable. i did notice an increase in vibration with the car first idles down near a stop. mine does the same thing in the 6 speed if i let the RPMs fall low.

 

60A or 80A?

 

60a

 

great work guys

 

The vibration is a little noticable but tolerable. I turned the VSA off and punched it with absolutley no wheel hop. That is a beautiful thing.

 

man...I have the poly sitting at my house....no time to do this yet

 

where can I get the poly from?

Finished pouring them yesturday. I really hope 80A isn't TOO stiff.

Im installing them this coming weekend. Im going to let the cure first.

 

hopefully not but you're the first to run it. i'm sure you will have a little more vibrations than with the 60a. but in the same hand with that comes less movement and more traction.

your vibrations should not even come close to what people were experiencing with the innovative mounts.

 

Is one can enough?

 

I used two. You may be able to use one, but I messed up on the front mount (didn't seal it up all the way) and had to re-pour it.

 

Two cans is enough to do the five mounts on the 6-speed. It takes all of one can to do the front and side mounts and will take probably half of another can to do the two transmission side mounts and the rear mount. I think using 80A on the front mount will not be a bad idea. Using 80A on all the mounts would not cause any more significant vibration. Its not that much more stiff. I went with 60A on the front and side and think it is plenty stiff. I still have not done the trans mounts or the rear and it is good enough as is. I will still be pouring the trans mounts and rear mounts with the 60A as soon as I have time to take them out for a few days.

FYI!!!! It is very important you let the poly set up for a few days before installing them. The instructions say to let it set up for seven days. You could probably install them after only 2-3 days but I would not do any spirited driving until 7 days has passed. Also my front mount has settled creating about 1/2 a millimeter gap between the top of the poly and the steel collar on the frong mount. I will probably pull it out and put a coat of poly between the collar and the existing poly just to get a tight seal. I have not noticed any reduction in performance because of the settling. The settling stopped about two days after I installed them and I now have 4000 miles on them since and they have not settled any more. Still very happy with the results.

 

i just did one side and one front and used up an entire can, until the last drop. i could of used about another ounce because i split some. so you need 2 cans for all of the mounts. as stated by jim above.

 

I would highly recommend people doing this. I get better response from the engine when pushing the pedal.

 

any diy, with pics and a step by step procedure.

 

I agree! The car feels like it pulls harder when I hit the accelerator.

 

sorry no diy. just pics and 5 pages of chatter. there is plenty of info in this thread for anyone to tackle this. if you see something i didn't cover or have a question just ask.

 

BTW, I filled brand new mounts, so if anyone wants my old mounts, let me know. Im taking them out this weekend. They are from a 6 speed.

 

Damn still waiting to do mine. Glad you all found a solution to the innovative mounts

 

im waiting for mine to dry =]

 

Should be doing the rear mount probably next week.

 

Heres my poly filled mounts with 60a. did all five. dropping the motor back in tomorrow

 

did you guys just use duct tape to seal the holes and pour?

 

how does it feel went u try to move the urethane by hand?

 

1hotcls6,
Very clean work! Lookin' good!

 

it doesn't move much by hand.


damn that is one clean front mount. that was the most difficult one to get completely filled.

 

I received my black hard poly mounts about 2 months ago and had them installed this past month by my local Acura dealership, they went on with no problems!, yes the car is going to have more pass through vibration in the steering wheel but other than that they are great! I had Acura check them this past week and they have not warped or been f-up. They include new more updated hardware.
I truly believe that they have worked out most of their issues in the past and I would recommend them any time.

 

they are oretty damn firm. i love the way they came out!! motor is back in now, and car is off to tuning tomorrow!

 

Lets see some pics and please put them in the proper thread, The innovative mounts thread. It has grown quite large. This thread is about making our own mounts. Thanks for the info though. Im still skeptical

 

i just wanna whore on this thread, cant wait till tomorrow!

 

Mine go in tomorrow!!! And not a moment too soon!

Mine don't move at all.

 

x2

 

Looks great!

I think this is awesome you guys are making these.
