anyone here with 400-500hp have any problems with their engine mounts? I'm trying to decide whether or not I need to replace mine. thanks.

 

i have my stock mounts with my turbo b16 pushing 8 psi and they are blown to ****.im goin for some hasport mounts

 

great. where you getting yours from? thanks

 

mine lasted one trip to the track with my junk yard b18 turbo set up

 

Spring for some Hasports. I got the second to hardest version of Hasport mounts (they come in 3 flavors in case you didn't know) for my DC2 and they do their job for sure. Granted the whole car shakes at idle, that is a small price to pay to keep the engine where it is supposed to be. This is a must for 400+whp imo.

 

how bad of a shake are we talking about? Anyway to describe it to me? the noise?

 

My stock mounts broke boosting 8psi on a stock B16. When the new engine goes in so will the Jimfab mounts.

 

I run the JimFab motormounts. They work great.

i dont know,i am going to look around.waiting to finish my motor first

 

What I meant by "shakes" is there will be more engine vibration transferred into the chassis, which is easiest to notice while idling, like at a stoplight. It isn't a violent shaking, but a rhythmic vibration. I don't notice much noise associated with the vibration, but if you have a rattle in the cabin any good motor mount is going to make it worse. For what is is worth was told by Todd at Full-Race that the softest of the Hasports (which is still way stiffer then stock) allows noticeably less engine vibration if that is a concern to you. Hasport mounts are pricey but extremely high quality. When combine with a traction bar, coilovers and LSD I have yet to notice any wheel hop, which is a blessing in a 500hp fwd car.

 

i have those engine mount inserts they are working great

way off topic but i just wanted to say your avatar is hilarious

 

I've been running the stock motor mounts with the turbo kit for 3 years without a problem?!?!?! Maybe my engine mounts are shot and I just dont know it. lol

Then again I also have been running a stock OEM ITR clutch for three years and it still grabbing like a champ!

Maybe I'm just easy on the drivetrain?!

 

Im running jim fab lowers and solid driver and passenger mounts they vibrate like hell

 

anyone know where i can get a nice set of hasport?

You could also take off your mounts and fill them with 3M 5200...makes a very solid mount with almost no give....but be prepared for some vibrations....

 

i had to just recently replace all my mounts with hasports. ek mounts suck.

 

for people who would like to use a solid mount setup that is removable at the race track, we will be releasing a very quick/easy solution that is integrated into our traction bars

why not just get the inserts? There is a guy here selling the ES inserts for $36 shipped

..just a thought..

 

When i put my inserts in, my motor lifted up about 1.5 inches cause the mounts were so shot...

The car viabrates like hell, i can't imagine how muych more a full mount setup would help. Wheel hop has moved from a shaking engine to some other shaking parts.

Nuts stuff.

 

You can always go the DIY route. No, I'm not talking about 3M Window Weld. Go to http://www.mcmaster.com. Pick up a couple quarts of 2-part polyurethane casting compound and a sheet of 1/4" Delrin. I just finished my mounts this weekend, and they came out professional-looking...I'll post my behind-the-wheel impression once I get the car running.
