anybody?

The studs don't exactly line up so you need to redrill the mounting holes, some need to be enlarged, some moved over a bit.

You also need to ditch your front engine mount in the Accord since the turbo will now be in the way.

how would u exactly move it over to the side?
by widening the hole more like.. making it more ovalish so its longer?
or what?
thanks busted for helping

Exactly, just use the F22Ax gasket as your template.

So you just ditch the front motor mount completely? Does this affect anything?

The engine is fine without the front mount, but the engine does move up and down a bit when you floor it, best thing to do is to beef up the other 3 mount. most turbo honda don't have front motor mount.

werd i have my redrilled manifold....the holes are just widened.....i used a gasket i bought for our cars and had someone redrill it for me......i plan to just tighten up the other motor mounts

Nooo....torque is your friend. Without that motor mount....you lose the torque. AHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!

i've heard rumors that the 92-96 prelude has a front motor mount that fits our cars and is just out of the way enough to give the turbo enough room. You may want to look into that guys. Our front motor mount doesn't do THAT much anyways. Assuming the others are either perfectly in tact, filled with polyurethane, or have polyurethane inserts. If i was using the dsm manifold...yea i'd try the prelude mount because even tho i know the motor is fine without a front mount it would still scare me.

How is your turbo set up coming along midnite racer x? I haven't heard you say much about it in a while.

Its coming along still don’t worry. I’ve been doing a crap ton of overtime, having issues with getting my pay for that overtime (about $300 worth), relationship problems, and looking for low prices on the things I still need.

The last pieces to the puzzle are as follows:
Reposition turbo flange on downpipe
Add o2 bung to downpipe
Buy 2.5” to 3” expander for exhaust piping
3” catbact
tap oil pan for return line
buy manual boost controller if it doesn’t come in the mail from Jason
vaccum lines and tees
nuts and bolts
oil
performance clutch kit – With all of this Overtime I can actually afford it

Trust me…I’m still trying I’m just not pushing for any specific time frames anymore. And since I can’t get the OT pay yet due to complicated reasons I can’t really buy the rest of what I need
