View Full Version : ES MMI Install?
Tobi,
The guy's on ColoradoEP3.com say you are the man to talk to when it comes to Hondas. I have an EP3, and I do not have the tools or knowledge to attempt a motor mount insert swap. Would you be able to help? What would you charge. More specifically Taikan and Kwando sent me your way.

I did tai's and a few guys from Club RSX.
I am charging $50 for the front and rear mount insert install.
That is a very good deal. How long does it take? I work afternoons/evenings, but am off on Mondays. Do you have time this coming Monday 1-26-04? Tuesday through Friday I leave for work at 1:00 p.m., so if it does not take too long, mornings are good for me also.
Thanks

Tobi,
Hey, I met you this past summer up at Bandi I had the blue S2k. We also met again at a HAI event I had a blue EP3 then, we smoked some cigars. Anyhow, I am also interested in these engine mounts. Do you sell them or keep them in stock? After driving Tai's car I was very impressed. If there is a place locally I can get them? I have tomorrow off, I don't know if you are available?

rook, 10 AM sound good? cal my cell and I'll give you directions. You already have the mounts right? Forgot to ask earlier.
vtecnrg. I remember, you were supposed to call me for a turbo kit. WHat happened with that? I dont stock the mounts but i cna have them in hand in two or three days if needed.

Tobi, I ended up doing the Greddy Bolt On with Trenz. They have been great but they are also very busy. Your name came up again the other night for the 100th time. All I hear is how Awesome you are. I thought maybe we could do mounts and I'm also in the market for an intercooler. What do you need from me to get/order the mounts? I would like to do this first and soon. Also, can you tune Greddy's emanage? Thanks. Mark

I dont ahve any software for the e-manage but if you got it from Yi I could tune it.
I can order the mounts if you want to set a day next week to have them installed.

Apparently the emanage software is password protected and Yi stated that he would need to erase everything and start fresh. Greddy / Kenji will not release the password to even Yi. Do you know Kenji. Don't get me wrong it's not bad but it runs a little rich. Could you program it better from scratch? I know it is a loaded question but I am trying to determine my options.
For the engine mounts, any time in the evening next week would work except Wednesday. I work down in the DTC and don't normally get to the North end of Denver until 6p.m. Or next weekend would work. Let me know. Either way could you order the mounts. Do you need my money now or later? Thanks for your help. Honda Ghandi says it all.

I will order the inserts today. let me find out when they will be here before we set a day. You can pay me for the whole thing when you get them done. No flaking though.
I doubt I could do much better than Kenjis program. I hav emet him but he doesnt know me im sure. They wont give it out because of the liability involved. Too many EP3s out there blowing up as it is. If its a little rich then its probably safer.

Thanks. I have sent you a PM. Could you elaborate on blown engine comment? Do I ever have a story for you.

A lot of EP3s are blowing up after only a few hundred miles with the Greddy kit.

Have you heard or have any idea's why? How many have you heard of? I also lost an engine. The new engine is going strong with 1,000 miles plus so far. Now I am scared.
Tobi,
Monday morning at 10:00 is good. I have the mounts. I left you a voicemail with my ph. numbers, you can call me tonight. I will be out of town tomorrow. If I dont hear from you, I will call you on Saturday, if we don't hook up then, I will call you Monday morning.
Thanks for getting me in!

From what I have seen from pics and other stuff it looks as though they run lean and overheat the cylinder walls. The tiny skirts on those pistons dont look like they can take much abuse.

Tobi,
I also am very impressed with your work. These engine mounts sure do liven things up. I can feel it in the steering wheel, pedals, shifter and most of all the seat. Very cool. BTW, great garage.
