front mount in da way

[WiKKeDV16]

ok.. i ask about running the DSM manifold and it works with some minor modification ..
it interfers with the front engine mount.
since this mount has to be removed how bad off with the motor be hence.
movement/roll play ect
how can i reinforce the other 3 relatively cheaply or any other options u guys have

[PRIMOCB7]

you can always but a SFP manifold..they make 'em especially for the F series motor..about $450 (mild steel) and $650 (ceramic coated)

[WiKKeDV16]

will it solve the problem of having to remove the engine mount?

[PRIMOCB7]

well, when i spoke to SFP, they never mentioned anything about having to remove the front engine mount. give 'em a call just to make sure. if you go with the dsm manifold, use a heavy duty strap to tie the block to the front mounting bracket. a fellow cb7 driver with a turbo F22B2 did that and hasn't given him any problems.

[WeDgE]

Or you could just make an adapter to retain your stock manifold, just like the Civic guys do...that's the route I'll be taking.

[BustedLX]

You could use the SFP manifold it's a really nice product or use the 4th gen Preludes front crossmember and front engine mount. That would solve your problem.

92-96 prelude? cross mem and mount? Yep and don't forget the bracket that goes on the engine. You can buy it new from the dealer for like $25 because sometimes they don't like removing it from the engine.

[WiKKeDV16]

how does the prelude cross member and motor mount move out of the way of the turbo manifold?
just wondering how exactly this works..
i understand the concept but curious is all
thanks alot busted u have been a big help in this

[BustedLX]

Well it doesn't come up like a dog bone. It's like the rear mount but in front. It sits at the base on the front crossmember so you have the room for the Turbo's compressor housing.

i forgot who, but someone did use a mazda frount engine mount. but yea, the preludes work too i hear.

grab the front mount from a 80's toyota, and shorten it a bit.
i made it grab onto the bottom bolt hole. works great, its urethane, and cost 4 bux!

does the front motor mount have to be removed with the DSM turbo setup

busted just said to use the 92-96 lude cross memeber and mount.......if you dont then yes, you have to remove it.

[Boost_Lee]

word, get more pics of that toyota mount along with info, and pics of the prelude cross memebr and mount needed!

[90boostdaccord]

using an adapter plate like the civic guys do would set the turbo way too low.

just get some 3M window urethane sealer or other polyurethane sealer and fill your other 3 mounts with it.

[i_love_cb7]

pics!
plz.... :bouncy:

[Swifty1638]

I too will ahve issues with too much motor roll..where can I get a mod for this? I saw the dyno vids for r33, and I am scared with all that movement..just doesn't look safe, or good. I wanna know all that there is to be able to save that front mount..where to get a replacement, and for me..pics help a lot..with arrows pointing thigs out..lol. I am a visual learner..lol :bouncy:

well if your really down u can use a motorcycle tow strap and attach it tto the crossmember.

ill try to get pics of minze tomoro

[theone]

any more pics yet....cause i need a extra mount (front mount bad), cause of my cam and all i get ol domestic shack...lol.
also what year toyota did u get it from, i looked at one at the junk yard, forgot what model but it was around 88-90 and the mount were similar to ours

do the mounting holes on the block still need to be shaved down when you use the prelude crossmember and mount? and are there any risks or serious problems with shaving the block? i plan on using a dsm set up for a f22b and any info would be appreciated....thanks

[too.slow.CB7]

:offtopic: check classifieds for my dsm turbo kit for sale...... -justin- :offtopic:

[PriMal Cb7]

hah thanks but i have most of the turbo stuff and the jdm f22b is sitting in the garage...i plan on dropping it in this spring... i just wanted more info about shaving the block and using different front mounts.

[too.slow.CB7]

just thought i would throw that in there to anyone that needs alot of turbo stuff for the f22 block...... -justin-

i shaved the living shit outta mine and raped it soon afterwards. Just do more shaving of the block than cutting into the block ya know. I probaly went as far as about 1/4-1/2 an inch deep into the block to get my turbo in but i've got a big t4 compressor housing. The dsm turbo's are alot smaller and the manifold positions the turbo slightly better so u won't have to mangle your block nearly as much as i did mine

Whose done this and how well does it work? This actually sounds good, along with getting the prelude mount.

i think Accord_r33 did it, except he used energy suspension inserts.

[92ex]

but his engine moves like crazy in his video
