Yeah, let us know how those 75A mounts feel compared to the stockers. I'm probably gonna be picking a set of those up this spring/summer. Stock mounts are about as stiff as cheese. Makes shifting notchy / sticky when you're in boost.

 

ehh, they arent that bad. most people that say 85A are too stiff are whiny babies that cant handle a little engine noise. i love the sound of my engine and since i cant have a loud exhaust because i live in cali, being able to hear the engine through the frame is the next best thing. i mean, on a long trip my feet get a little numb from the vibrations, but other than that, i have zero complaints about them.

 

what other effect will you encounter from very stiff ( too stiff ) engine mounts ?
if i run the EXTREAM am i too crazy .. or retarded ? for automatic
and do they make specific AT mounts for AT applications ??
thanks

 

No! Why risk it? What you are asking about doing is not going to be worth the risk.
Get some injectors and a tune and you WILL notice a difference w/out the worry.

 

the problem is that there aren't any HKS certified tuner in my area. however, there are a few individuals which can tune the f-con but are not certified. i don't how they got the software and hardware and cables from.

 

lets do a group buy on engine mounts ?

 

i would definately sign up for an engine mount group buy.
any plans for dyno time felix?

 

Whoever tunes it, make sure they're worth their salt. Above all, GET IT TUNED. If the F-con is expecting 5.7psi, and you give it 7 or 8, it MAY give you a boost cut (if it has that feature, and it's active), or it MAY blow up your motor. The one thing it WON'T do is run correctly.

You could always swap it for the E-manage Ultimate if there are more reputable E-manage tuners in your area. For the MOST part, they're the same. The F-con (I believe) has the ability to spoof oxygen sensor voltages (prevents closed-loop boost problems and fuel trimming problems), but that's easily implemented with a separate signal conditioner (such as the split second ESC-1. Your tuner should know about these things if he knows what he's (or she's) doing.) Whatever you do, TUNE IT, AND TUNE IT RIGHT. I'd hate to see anyone be the first documented case of a blown L15.

 

1WayFit - try RCTS here in Calgary. They are a certified HKS tuner shop.

That is the big knock on the HKS kit tho that i've warned many about.. Hard to locate a certified tuner and low power since its CARB legal. You need to get on par with the T1R kit so that you have bigger injectors, test pipe, and then up the boost. Emanage tuners are everywhere... you could go straight to AJ-R in Richmond for that.

 

Anyway, I'll say this once. Turbo is just a temporary measure for me. I wouldn't call it boosting unless I get internal work done. And that will be on a K motor.

and we will leave it at that. stop quoting my posts.

 

Just trying to help, but don't worry, I'll remember to never help you again.

 

That doesn't make any god damn sense. Since you are turbo'd right now, what do you call it? It is boosted.

 

its a weak boost
