Default Do you need the front Motor Mount?

Im building a F22A Turbo kit, i ran into a little problem, the manifold is alittle off, it works, but the front motor mount is kinda in the way, do you really need that one, or can you do with out?

i have a b18c in my civic and i took the ac bracket off because of my downpipe, i still have the tranny and right mount(motor) and rear. if you take one of the 3 main supporting mounts off it wont sit right.

i dont know where the mounts are on the f22 though, i would imagin they would be relatively in the same place though.

leave the motor mount. having your motor move around more is gonna make for some nasty drivetrain slop/wheelhop and just all around gayness.

You can remove it

Ive seen setups that worked mint without it, but they dont do it for any other reason other than clearance and more room for other things

I personally kept mine and made my d/p a bit tighter, wasnt worth removing it to me

Fill the others with urethane then remove the front mount.
