Why Upgrade Your Motor Mount?
The factory rear motor mount uses soft rubber to isolate engine vibrations for comfort. However, this soft design allows excessive engine movement under hard acceleration, especially in front-wheel-drive performance cars like the Civic Type R and Integra Type S. This engine movement causes wheel hop, inconsistent power delivery, and reduced traction during launches and aggressive driving.
The COBB rear motor mount uses a stiffer design that significantly reduces engine movement while maintaining acceptable NVH (noise, vibration, harshness) levels for street use. This results in dramatically reduced wheel hop, improved traction, and more consistent power delivery.
The Wheel Hop Problem:
Wheel hop occurs when the front wheels lose and regain traction rapidly during hard acceleration, causing a bouncing or hopping sensation. This is especially common in high-powered front-wheel-drive cars like the FL5 Civic Type R and DE5 Integra Type S. Excessive engine movement from soft motor mounts is a primary contributor to wheel hop, as the engine rocks back and forth under load, disrupting weight transfer and traction.
The Difference You'll Feel:
After installing the COBB rear motor mount, you'll immediately notice reduced wheel hop during hard acceleration, especially from a stop or during aggressive gear changes. Launches will be more consistent and predictable, with improved traction and power delivery. Shifting will also feel more precise, as the engine stays better planted during gear changes.
NVH Considerations:
The COBB rear motor mount is designed to balance performance improvements with acceptable NVH levels for street use. While you may notice a slight increase in engine vibration compared to the factory mount (especially at idle), COBB has engineered this mount to minimize NVH while delivering significant performance benefits. Most drivers find the trade-off well worth it for the improved performance.
Why COBB?
COBB Tuning is known for precision-engineered performance parts that deliver real-world improvements without compromising reliability or drivability. Their rear motor mount is designed specifically for the FL5/DE5 platform, ensuring perfect fitment and the ideal balance between performance and comfort.
Perfect Pairing:
For maximum wheel hop reduction and improved traction, consider pairing the COBB rear motor mount with:
- Performance tires with better grip
- Upgraded suspension components
- COBB Stage 1 or Stage 2 power package for increased power
Perfect For: FL5 Civic Type R and DE5 Integra Type S owners experiencing wheel hop, track day enthusiasts, autocross competitors, or anyone seeking improved traction and power delivery during aggressive driving.
Pro Tip: The rear motor mount is one of the most effective upgrades for reducing wheel hop on the FL5/DE5 platform. Install this before adding significant power to prevent traction issues.
Essential Upgrade: The COBB rear motor mount is considered a must-have upgrade for any FL5 Civic Type R or DE5 Integra Type S owner who drives aggressively or participates in track events.
