C70 Top Engine Mount Bracket

[tichai]

I'm about to change the top engine mount bracket on the C70 from the round bush one to the square bush type. If anyone wants it for a project or spare let me know and you can have it, free, if not I'll 'bin' it.

I'm at the RR day next Saturday so I can bring it along.

Why are you changing it to the square type, it would be cheaper just to polybush it.

Cheaper still fill it with tiger seal that what the honda nerds do

I was in Martin's car last week and the vibration through the steering was not something I want on mine. I decided on the standard square one with the intention of fitting a square poly bush later as the square poly one is a bit more forgiving than the solid round one.

You can upgrade the square one later....

yep, that's the one I'll be going for. After seeing the PFV 'how to' I should manage to get it done with only minor injuries

Noob question...What's that nice shiny blue thing hanging off the RIP pipe?

Garret GTX which I am running, unlike my old Mitsubishi TD04 turbo has no recirc. valve. The TIAL QR (the blue shiny thing) is a recirculating dump valve fitted to my custom rip kit. It recircs into the fresh air feed via the blue pipe. I am using a recirc rather than a BOV because the ME7 does not like losing metered air into the atmosphere.

Fitting the powerflex is not hard, but yes you need to take care & watch your fingers.
