of course it's fine, it'll work, it'll just push the motor further forward. compare it to a delsol vtec bracket

 

yeah it just pushes the motor forward, y do u think this link tells you that you need the mount?

it doesn't say anything about pushing the motor forward with a GSR mount in that explanation...

 

How do you figure? I don't have to pull my motor forward to get that bracket to fit onto the motor, it just bolts right up.

I could see the upper tranny and upper motor mounts moving the motor from front to back depending on their design, but how would the tortion mount change the way it sits in the bay?

Does anyone have any actual proof that the rear tortion mount defines where the motor sits (front or back)?

If you have to push the motor back to get it to mount onto an Si mount, that would seem pretty dangerous to me and very much a strain on all of the other mounts as you basically have to shoe-horn your motor to get it to fit.

Go get the rear brackets for a del sol vtec and a gsr, compare, and you will understand.

 

the whole point of getting the Si driver side mount if so that it wouldnt sit the engine forward, y else would they say that you need it?

 

I agree, when you put your motor in, the rear torsion mount should be the last one you put in and should not affect where the motor sits.

You mount the motor first by the two side frame rail mounts which center the motor where it should be. Once these are in and tight, the motor is centered where it will stay... then you put the rear torsion mount in which should just slide right in and bolt up... you don't pull or push the motor in either direction to bolt it in... it just slips right in and gets tightened down... therefore it does not affect where or how the motor sits...

Its basically there to help control or keep to a minimum the twist of the motor as it torques to and fro when you're slamming through gears.:thumbup:

 

they y are the people on that site saying you need the driver side SI mount and the rear tranny mount?

 

I'm confused, I thought you were the issue was whether or not the rear torsion mount affects the sit and here you're talking about the drivers side mount

 

yeah it says on the site above that you need the SI driver side mount and rear tranny mount, im guessin so that it doesnt sit ur engine forward
