Default How much PSI stock mounts?

Like it says how much PSI can I push on stock mounts already searched google before posting.

Setup = stock ls/vtec (gsr head with itr cams)

turbo kit will be a egay kit I got for dirt cheap just wondering if mounts will hold up to lets say 8 psi(MAX)

I enjoy my stock mounts since the car is a DD I cant stand the vibrations aftermarket ones give..

I'd worry more about the actual engine components compared to engine mounts.

depending on the milage but atleast get inserts. IIRC, theyre $50. even if your mounts are good, they will go out quicker with more power

Let me get this straight...

You want to boost a frankenstein motor, with an ebay turbo kit, in a 20 year old Honda, that you want to DD, and you are worried about vibrations?

Why does everyone think that boost pressure equals a certain power output? Learn how engines work...

Yes, stiffer mounts equal more vibration. But, there isn't any around that if you want mounts that can handle more power without deflecting excessively or tearing.

Try not to focus on PSI, and focus on HP and torque. Your stock Honda mounts are rated for just that..."stock." Throwing more HP and torque to the motor via boost is going to cause it to flex, especially under hard power shifts.

I ran Innovative aluminum billet mounts with 60-A bushings for years on my old LS turbo setup (304 whp / 274 wtq). I ran the 75-A bushings on my built GSR setup (449 whp / 331 wtq). The 60-A's were very liveable, I noticed vibes vs. the stock mounts, but it was minimal, at best (in my own opinion). The 75-A's were a bit more harsh, but not overly bad.

Sometimes, you have to sacrifice comfort for reliability and longevity when it comes to these boosted Hondas. Don't be soft, get some aftermarket 60-A equipped mounts, you motor will thank you for it.
