Awwww yeah! I somehow knew you had a T2W4 on the way, awesome pickup! Did this come from JDM Engines Corp? Are you going to stuff a 4.64 FD in there as well? Thanks for the updates, this is still my favorite thread on here!

Awesome!
The tranny looks really clean inside. How did the magnet look? Any plans to replace anything else in the tranny?

Magnet was fairly clean but its supposedly 28,000km on the trans. I ordered it from a company in Texas. Im doing synchros and hardened sleeves with new bearings and seals. I'll have plenty of torque to push the 4.266 fd, lol. I'll know Friday if im ordering another F23A from jdmenginedepot.Comment

Awesome! I'm rebuilding an M2F4 for my car now. Seeing that 5th gear price, I'm tempted to jump on it.
Had time to compare an h22 lower vs my f23 lower... Believe it or not, plenum volume looks to potenially be larger on the f23, but port and runner size is much smaller. Found a guy that will fit the plenum and port the runners, can't wait to try it out.Comment

Oh hell yeah! The only thing worse than waiting on new parts is not being able to install them. Still, great stuff.

It's all good. Ill just stay late at the shop and do it tomorrow.Comment

I noticed you got the Innovative Traction Bar as well as the Innovative Front Torque mount. Are you going to weld some brackets onto the traction bar to mount the torque mount?
I've been debating doing this myself as compared to getting the ESP bar. Due to having the front to rear cross brace and then weld on tabs to mount the torque mount.Comment

Sorry, just a pet peeve.
Only one of those mounts is a transmission mount. The one for the passenger side.
All of the other mounts are motor mounts. Front (torque mount), rear and driver side.
Sorry. Not trying to be a dick.Comment

Finally finished. I think im going to switch back to oem mounts. The vibration is ridiculous even with only 3 mounts. I ordered the dogbone with the intention of welding on a bracket, i now know why there are no provisions for one. I've decided I'm really not willing to give up that much comfort for the engine to sit still. If someone pm's me a reasonable offer ill sell them. The traction bar and coilovers are amazing, every gear change is smooth and feels like it surges forward when it hits the next gear. There is minimal spin even on worn out tires at a 4k launch. I love it.Comment

You may want to consider just using the front mount. It will help you launch and with the other mounts still stock/filled it should keep vibrations down to a minimum.

This was a problem I had too, I once had DIY 94a filled mounts on all four corners, vibrations were insane. Speedometer needle fluttered at certain rpms and rearview mirror never stopped shaking. My happy medium was 94a front and rear mounts while retaining stock side mounts. This helped tremendously. I think you can come to a happy medium too!Comment

That was exactly what I was thinking. I might just make an adjustable front mount and run oem mounts in the other three spots and fill them with 60a urethane from McMaster. Tomorrow ill try an oem mount in the back with the two innovative mounts on the sides. If that doesn't change much ill try oem on the sides and the innovative mount in the back.Comment

Not telling you what to do but I'd stick the stiffer mounts in the front and back to really strap the motor down from rocking, then use stock side mounts. I think you should like it and you def. wanna get all the power to the ground!
I will admit though, my current setup is alittle different now: 94a DX/LX rear, ESP adjustable front torque mount that goes with the traction bar, ESP auto to manual 70a tranny mount and OEM driver side mount. Still very happy with this configuration
