boost causes problems?
 

Just boosted my 00 civic and have a few questions. First off my clutch is slipping and im looking for a new one, does anyone have preferences for clutches, heard act xtreme is the way to go, but is there anything else out there. Also looking to stiffen up my motor mounts, buddy of mine told me to buy inserts, does anyone know where to get a set? any help would be apperciated

Re: boost causes problems?
 

F1 ebay clutch if you want to be cheapo and get a good clutch. I have their stage 3 and no problems yet.

Inserts or window weld works. again. if you're cheap use window weld. if your mom has the cash then use urethane inserts. My mom is broke as ---- plus I dont mooch off my parents like some guys on here so I used window weld.

Re: boost causes problems?
 

Been rockin Window weld for a while now in all mounts and I have ridden in cars with Full on Poly mounts with only one being a "Solid mount" (a bolt stuck in it). IMO I think the window weld is for lack of a better description, a step down from the poly mounts. They are still stiff as hell but I dont vibrate nearly as bad as he does. his seem's to have a good rattle from idle up to like 1500 where as mine only does it at idle.

Dont know about others but i pay for everything, my car isnt mommys or daddys

So the window weld worlks better? I need my mounts to be stiff cause i got 2 nice size dents in my hood from the motor jumping

3m window weld ftw... Got mine at napa, use latex gloves or you'll be sorry...

Dont waste money on things you can do yourself, save the money for things you cant diy ;D

LSD Motorsports for the clutch.

Energy Suspension mount insert kit $38 plus shipping = perfection.

Re: boost causes problems?
 

the best combo yet. for me at least. :6

Re: boost causes problems?
 

I cant really say the 3m is better but I can say it vibrates a little less. I can tell you my ---- aint movin like it was though.

If you dont care about sissy things like rattles then do what JD said about teh inserts and use 3m to seal them in. Didn't someone here do a write up one it?

Re: boost causes problems?
 

yeah, just run a search there was a write up. And use gloves or youll be searching for that other thread about what to use to get ---- off your hands.

Re: boost causes problems?
 

I've never noticed any apreciable vibration with the ES inserts, if there is any it's super minor.

Re: boost causes problems?
 

cool, got the mounts orderd.
what about clutch, which one are you guys running, xtreme, 4 puck, etc

Re: boost causes problems?
 

You guys recomend getting mounts that are halfway decent shape to throw these in, or do you just throw em on your everyday 180k mile busted ass rubber? My ----'s floppin and if I don't need to go to the jy for mounts I'm just gonna insert/fill anyway, I'd be happier.

Re: boost causes problems?
 

I used some window weld to patch up a good 20" rip in my convertible top (miata). All of the mounts in my wagon are either 100% window weld or at least repaired with it.

Re: boost causes problems?
 

there is some, but as long as you arent a ------- ----- it shouldnt bother you

want to see vibration? install ES torque mounts and Prothane upper mount inserts(the half plastic ones), then that bitch will vibrate.

Re: boost causes problems?
 

I always throw them into busted ass mounts. If you look at the way they squeeze in and support the mount you'll see there's not much difference between using a new or a worn out mount.


Oh, I see. Since I'm not a passive -----boy I don't notice miniscule vibrations? Good to know.

There is no vibration like a set of the Jimfab lower torque mounts with rear mount ES insert, and no flex coupler in the DP. Whole car shakes.

Re: boost causes problems?
 

how about solid motor mouts like i have...homemade and all. it vibrates pretty good....kinda makes my balls itch though 8)

Re: boost causes problems?
 

got the inserts, but what kinda clutches does everyone use? 6 puck, extreme,etc

Re: boost causes problems?
 

Notice that people agreed with me?

Re: boost causes problems?
 

yes i also agree, not trying to argue, just looking to see what particular kind of lsd clutch you are running. I want something that will last but is still streetable
