New motor is in, stiff mounts!
Alright I got my new motor put in my 96 civic CX hatch. The old Y7 had 170,000 and was still going but I got another Y7 with 50,000 on it so I changed it. I put a Y8 manifold on while it was on the stand. At first it wouldn't start for ---- and then once I got it running it was idling at 2k and dropping up and down like a vaccuum leak. It wasn't a vaccuum leak, it was either the MAP or the TPS. I changed the TB to the original and POW! it runs mint. Only problem is the Prothane Poly mounts are really harsh. Man, you feel every RPM. I may pull them. Still undecided. Now I can get my turbo stuff on a good motor and new clutch.
Turbo items I have so far:
Saab 900 T3 42.48 I believe
Saab SMIC
1G dsm BOV with mount
Custom log manifold made by A buddy and myself.
Phantom A/F gauge
Phantom Boost gauge
DSM 450 injectors
Still need:
P06
Chipping for Uberdata
OBDI to OBDIIa harness
Charge and exhaust piping
WB O2 set up.
Any suggestions will be appreciated.

Well I tell you what. Only put one in and its ok. It rattles a little but not as muck and it is still better performance than the stock motors mounts. OR you could qiut being a ----- and not worry about it.

I drove about 80 miles last night and it only seems to be a problem at launch or idle. I'm gonna leave mine in. Once I'm rolling or at speed the car straightens out. A little buzzy from the vibes but not unbearable. My wife at first thought the car was fucked up but she said it doesn't bother her anymore.
