ever since my swap, my car has slightly pulled to the right. it only happens when i give the car gas. other then that it drives perfectly straight. i took the car to a few shops and none of them can tell me what is causing the problem. had the alignment done and eveyrthing......one guy mentioned that bad motor mounts can sometimes cause the car to pull to one side. so im trying to figure out if the way i have my mount setup has anything to do with my problem.
the 3sgte has a bracket on the passengers side of the motor with 2 or 3 holes in it, and then the motor mount connects to that when you put your motor in.... when you guys did your swap, did you swap over to the 5sfe bracket, or keep the 3sgte one? i kept my 3sgte one. it seem to work, but you can only use 2 bolts to connect the mount to the bracket because the 5sfe motor mount dosnt line up 100%. what did eveyone (5sfe-3sgte) else do with that mount? oh and no, its not TQ steer. this happens when i baby the car and just give it a little bit of gas. i mostly notice it on the highway.

Could you made have a broken mount? With the added power of the 3S, you should be able to break that thing pretty easy. That being the hydrolic mount, I think it would just look at it to tell if it's broke. Try popping the hood, with the car on, and then reving the engine to see how much it moves. If your brave enough, have a buddy take off in your car wile your looking at the engine. Or have your friend look at it wile you take off. You don't have to rev and dump the clutch of anything, just move the car. You should be able to see were there is significant movement like this to check for broken mount. Or at least be able to pinepoint what area you should be consintrating on.
