ES Motor Mount DYNO?

[civic hatch boi]

has anyone dynoed their car before and after installing es mm's?
thanks. mods: i dont know where to put this, so feel free to move.

i am not seeing how the MM's would produce numbers on a dyno. i don't think they will cause the car to make the rollers spin faster!?! but then again i could be wrong. and i also suppose that 14.8 w/ stock EP could be wrong too:cool:

i dont think u'd gain any HP but you would decrease your 1/4 time for sure.

haha.. ya dynos are going to stay the same. the numbers come in traction and putting the power to the road.. not on the dyno

try to think of it as an "equivelant" gain. It is "as if" you gained so many HP...Great mod btw, one of my favorites!

ive heard that the motor mounts actually do put down a little more power. not necessarily generating but they put down some of the power that was lostbefore

they help eliminate wheel hop, so in a way they put down some more power...but it has nothing to do with whp...it's just a better way for the car to handle the power...so no, the dyno will not show the numbers

it's cool watching the car dyno when it has es mm's. Instead of the motor rocking, the entire front end of the car raises up when shifting. The entire car wants to pull back.

so is this a mod that can be done in an afternoon? i'm very interested in doing this... thanks for the help.

yeah i had to hassle with it and it took me and a buddy 3 hrs...if you take off the front bumper you can do it yourself. it may be a little rough and time consuming your first time

if you drop the subframe it will take you an hour and half if you have some mechanical knowledge. This is the best way i have only done this way, but oogy-boogy and anjapower have done it the other way and they both agree that doing it the other way is much more involved.
