Fitting EBAY BILLET ENGINE MOUNTS To My Honda Civic EJ9 VTEC! **Big Mistake**

Hello world!
Welcome back to the D15B VTEC swapped Honda Civic EJ9!
As we have mentioned, Georgia & I are heading to the Nürburgring in a few weeks, so we need to get this car up to standard. As with any other track day, it is vital to get the maintenance & repairs complete before modifying. Today we are tackling a common issue on the EJ/EK Civic chassis'; the lower engine mounts.
Why replace when you can upgrade? Well, I used to live by this philosophy, unless we are talking daily drivers!
I took a chance and ordered some billet engine mounts from eBay...What could possibly go wrong?
In fairness, nothing really went wrong, but I learned there was a bigger sacrifice needed that I initially intended, to run these mounts!
Uh oh...

I need to change my engine mounts aswell Drew been meaning to do it for ages 😂 good video mate👍🏴
I imagine yours will be a lot more complicated than this! 😂
Thank you dude! 🙏
- Drew
It's funny how many people fit these and instantly regret it😂
😂 I guess I was a bit naive.
I have polybush engine mounts on my Mx5 but there aren't as bad as this! Lol
Thank you for watching!
- Drew
@@accelerateyoutubeonly just watched. We would refer to these as torque mounts back in the day. Bin them off and get some hardened rubber proper engine mounts like Hardrace. I binned mine on my EK4 with standard engine mounts, not needed at all
The best mount is to add poly bush insert to the rear mount on subframe in center stops engine rocking back and forth and is not harsh vibrations
Ahhh, that makes sense. I will look into that.
Thank you for watching!
- Drew
I also had that mount on my civic. It was literally shaking all the panels in the cabin, but after few months of using it started to lessen the vibration. 😅
😂 that's exactly what mine was like! I have an Mx5 track car, and that doesn't seem to vibrate as much as this 😂
I thought they might settle a bit, but I took them straight off lol
Thank you for watching!
- Drew
Amazing video! Thank you for my shoutout!😆😆
Thank you! You see more than welcome!
- Drew
It's always a lie when you say your not going to modify something 🤣🤣. And can definitely recommend the keyrings she makes to they are very good. 😁
Thank you so much Gav!😁😁
I know, I almost believed myself too 🙈😂
Thank you dude, she really appreciates the support! 🙏
- Drew
Maybe drill afew holes in the polybush to add some flex or comfort mode lol
😂😂 that's a genius idea, I actually want to try that lol
Thank you for watching!
- Drew
@accelerateyoutube worth a try as they look a decent bit of kit, just to solid so afew holes to add flex but leave plenty of material between holes, plus I'm assuming they are still on the car and I'm sure it will help 👍
Good job bro 👍 👍 👍
Thank you! 🙏
- Drew
Vibration has to go somewhere. The hardrace ones will have the same effect but not that hard. Hardrace ones good for track, not daily. There are some models inbetween tho.
You are absolutely right. I was obviously a bit naive in thinking they wouldn't make that much of a difference lol
I have competition spec engine mounts on my Mx5 track car, and they don't seem as harsh as these lol plus the fact there are 3 other mounts that are still rubber, that's what surprised me.
They are a good product, but as you said, good for track use.
Hardrace do seem to come highly recommended.
Thank you for watching!
- Drew
I thought these came with d16s unless it was swapped?
It is swapped, it has a D15B VTEC engine from a JDM Del Sol VXi 👌
Thank you for watching!
- Drew
@@accelerateyoutube Whoops, I didn't hear the start of the video lol
Hasport or bust.
could the transmission mount cause jerkiness too when coming off throttle. I had also shitty engine mount bushings, all of them. Replaced with oem and it made little difference but still jerkiness. More than usual when comparing to other civics. Didnt change transmission mount on the back of the engine because cant even see it if it is worn.
It can contribute to jerkiness, but there are other things that can make the jerkiness worse unfortunately.
Thank you for watching!
- Drew
I had these on my ek4 the engine literally didn’t move 🤣🤣
😂 they are rather solid! I can't believe how much they vibrate considering they are just the lower mounts!
Thank you for watching!
- Drew
They will wear in after a while it won’t be so harsh then
🤦🤦
