That I would believe... OEM mounts wouldn't be such a good idea for a B20 :\
my personal opinion, i'd rather spend the extra $50 - $100 on some reliable, good source mounts, than just trying to "get the job done".
I'd honestly get some poly mounts, b20 produces a bit more torque for some OEM mounts :\ that rubber is just going to crack & rip apart fairly quickly :\
but then again, i'm a mazda head, new to the honda world (lol) but that would be my assumption.

oh word - yeah didn't realize OEM mounts were capable of withholding that much power
my buddy had an RSX Type-S turbo charged pushin @ about 350 to the wheels, and his stock mounts went to shit about 25k miles later :\ (not even??)
sooooo yeah lol - just a thought though, thanks for the info!

At least if Honda-Tech is to be believed. Mild little LS motor stock will tear them up on slicks, as the cheap material they are made of tends to sheer when the motor suddenly slams it due to a 5K RPM launch with traction...... But that's only if all the people on Honda-Tech know what they're talking about...... Even filling them doesn't necessarily "stop" that from happening, especially as the power levels increase, so.....
You basically have 3 good options.
Innovative
Avid
HaSport

Thats basically what i was getting to, but i'm not gonna stop him in his own decisions.
The more power - requires better mounts, but if he says he's runnin 475 to the wheels on OEM mounts, then i guess he's gonna stick with OEM mounts :\
all i know is, bad mounts lead to LOTS of other problems - fast - at least thats how it goes with mazdas, and v6's are way more torquey than an I4 (stock for stock anyways - SOME - not all - so don't bash me lol)
