My Outty is kinda like an overweight RA w/ AWD but with the motor being a match figured I'd add to the list.

RRM UDP
Makes a nice difference to the motor, MPG difference is negligible but the butt dyno approves. Feels to pull better etc. And the install time is a joke 45 minutes to pull in the garage pull the front wheel off and the shield to get at the pully and to replace it and the belt and put everything back together. Most of that time was spent screwing around and talking with the father in-law. Would definitely do it again. Lights do dim at idle when heater is cranked anything above that lights are back to normal.

Weapon-R SRI
Notice no one has mentioned this one for the RA's. Honestly saw a mpg gain of 2 on the highway and 1 in the city and a lot of noise when I step on it. Besides that I had to drill out the holes on the MAF as the mounting holes didn't match up. For anyone with a 4G69 I wouldn't bother and keep with the brands that are more popular.

 

Bought from TH Motorsports and installed 2/22. When trying to decide between ACT and ClutchMasters, I landed on CM due to some members on this board reporting their clutch master cylinder starting to leak after installation of the ACT clutch/pressure plate (remedied by swapping to an Evo 8/9 CMC, but I don't have one...)

Initial impressions: I'm driving relatively gingerly as I break it in. The pedal effort is extremely light, much lighter than stock...frankly, it suprised me. The full release point is further down in the pedal stroke, and as of right now, feels like the "engagement zone" is wider than the stock clutch.

Fun fact: Stock clutch...made by Exedy


...I'll add more to this review in a couple months after I get a chance to unleash my turbo on this bad boy.

 

Is this the same as a BLOX Engine Roll Stopper?

I guess blox is in back order for there mount up to 4-5 weeks =/

 

looks like a super goofy version of the Blox mount. but all in all prob the same function

 

ya vivid racing sells it here in az, and they are known for evo parts here in az

 

i was gonna order blox roll stopper in a couple of weeks and the price tag on this thing is gay in comparison, especially since blox is much sturdier looking

 

you can order the blox stopper from speedelement they have a special going on in the forum here

 

Maybe another option if time is an issue :

Those are actually good, my friend Tim is selling them now, I didn't know that when I bought the Blox or I would have bought this instead. No harm, no foul though, the Blox is darn good.

TMZ Performance

 

That's pretty nice I saw it had a lifetime warranty. I dunno If blox does or not but do torque solutions side and rear mounts fit our RA's

 

well i just picked up the mount yesterday and im installing it today, ill let you guys know how it goes, but so far ive heard nothing but good things, at vivid racing, thats the only on they sell, and i talked to a few evo owners there and on here on the forumns, so far nothing bad =)

 

works great, awesome vibration, car definitely feels more alive, sounds deeper in the cabin also smoother transitions into gears, definitely my moneys work, 10 out of 10

 

Blox roll stopper: im just another person giving it a 10/10. The vibration dampens after about 5 to 6 hundred miles.

Evo 8/9 clutch master cylinder: definatly a good idea to have no matter whether your stock or qfteraftermarket in the clutchal region. Its much stiffer and quicker to engage and disengage without the restrictor. once adjusted to your liking I find it to be much better than stock. 10/10

ACT mr1 hdg6 clutch kit: I caught nothing but flak on act kits. Ive had mine for about 1600 mile and is holding great. Even though I have no lsd I can tell there is more power at the wheels than stock. Being a six puck the harsh engagment warning is true but if you find the rythm it quite easy to make it smooth on every shift. 10/10 so far

Clutctmasters light weight flywheel: I do not recommend this if you do not have a built top end. First off get ready sayy bye bye torque cuz until about 2 - 3k rpm it dosnt really kick. also clutch masters sent 0 hardware leaving me to tack everthing down and instuctions better fit for clutch installation than the flywheel. the turbo lag time reduction claim is bogus as far as I'm concerned. It spools faster simply because the acceleration is improved in the mid and high range. 6/10 because its still a quality product

I edit to warn that I believe the fw may burn up your starter. The day I got the fw on the starter went out it had 87k miles on it so i figured normal wear and tear. I have had the. New starter bout 1800 and its already been quitting in me. I blame the FW because there's no other reason. I'm gonna get a optima red top or some other battery with nore starting power and see how that does.

 

I have switched back and forth between all these, just thought I'd report.



1. The stock mount is on the left. Soft, designed to isolate Grandma from any vibes, she is happily oblivious of any mechanical thrashings. For the rest of us it makes for hellish wheel hop when squealing away from the stop sign or exiting a corner fast. Look carefully, the bushing is sagging just sitting there.

2. The evo 8/9 stock mount is on the right. Note it has no air gaps, is still flexible but much more stiff than stock. This eliminates a lot of wheel hop, and transmits only a very slight buzz at idle, is not noticeable the rest of the time.

3. You all know what the aftermarket mounts like Blox look and act like - a solid lump with no flex at all. Transmits a strong buzz at idle especially with the air conditioning on - it's pretty freaky the first time you start'er up after installation. Wheel hop effectively eliminated. Peel away from stop signs and exit corners as fast as you want with no hop - beautiful road "feel" through the tires now, just really connected, and wheelspin during launches is so controllable just throttle in how much you want.

Well, for everyday driving the stock evo 8/9 mount is awesome. Buy a used one in these forums, lots available, pay $20. Or buy a new one for not much more. If used, don't buy a really high mileage item because rubber isolates you from vibrations by turning the vibe energy into heat energy as it flexes, so the material eventually degrades losing it's elasticity and ability to function properly even if it still looks okay.

That said, I'm using the Blox mount since the performance is amazing. Like Ricky in the TPB movie: "Hard as **** boys, hard as ****".

 

Thanks for the contribution

But just to play devils advocate , you could instead get a can of devcon flexane and make solid motor mounts for the front and rear for nearly the same price.
