soo..

i have been experiencing some engine movement, mainly when i turn left the engine moves right and the downpipe will rub the sub-frame..or when i am under accel, yes hard, that the downpipe will rub again..

i haven't had this problem until quite recently..i figured they are getting stretched out but not broken entirely yet..

basically i am here to see who has upgraded their engine mounts with high hp fi applications and yes i have searched the innovative mount threads but i have not really found what i am looking for..

does the engine move less or the same with these mounts. side to side that is. when cornering or what you can push the engine with your hand in the engine bay..

and i would like to hear from people with the stiffer mounts. 95 85 etc..

also how if any does clutch chatter reduce as far as drivetrain shock..

the biggest reason i ask is because i am having some bolt breakage and such with the turbo bolts and manifold bolts..
thanks..

 

This is a good topic I'm considering new mounts also since my engine is out. I was looking at the innovative mounts also. I was also looking at inlinePRO has a set for our car and they claim on the web site that the mounts pivot which allows you to take the transmission out without dropping the sub frame! Pretty good idea if it works. My other concern was fitment since I have a bottom mount (Full Race) manifold. Not sure if there is fitment issues or not with after market mounts.

Here is the link for the inlinePRO mounts Link

 

they do work that well..i have witnesssed it at their shop..although they are solid mounts..alot of vibration transfer..probably not a good choice for most

 

Yeah I was concerned about the harshness so I figured maybe the Innovative would be best like the 60A option.

 

I have the 75A's and the motor barely moves side to side! We are gonna put them on a friends s2k with a pfab log because the dp also rubs the frame.

 

what about cabin vibration,dash rattles etc?

 

Nothing in my car rattles, but u can only feel the motor vibrate at idle. But normal driving it almost feels like u have stock mounts. But everybody has different opinions about it. I would even get the 85A's.

 

Interesting topic. I'm keen to hear other opinions on this and what route they've taken.

One of the guys down here in Sydney went with the HardRace brand mounts - engine mounts and diff mounts. He writes his experiences up here:

OEM mounts w/ engine damper does the trick for me, makes a nice improvement in keeping the emotor from moving under throttle, has very slight vibration at idle.
