It's time for new motor mounts. I want something that's not going to rattle me to death, but I need it to be able to hold my turbo Y7 still.

I'm thinking I may go with poly inserts, but I want some recommendations.

 

a couple of my friends are running enjo mounts they arent as bad on shaking as hasports and hold a built b20 spraying 125 pretty well

 

i have ES mounts in the front torques and the rear tranny. it has a pretty healthy vibration at idle. it was worse when i had just the torques in.

 

So, anybody else? Were the Es just inserts or full mounts? Where did you find them and for how much?

 

I have a friend that went to penn-tech, so he knows a lot of good car knowledge (even though he dropped out!). he told me how much more effieciently engines put down power all due to the poly inserts. I thought that was bs, but aren't race cars engines bolted directly to the frame?? i heard that one time too.

anyway that is the stuff i heard about poly inserts, but from my experience with it it does make a lot more vibration, but it is a good vibration. like the rumble of a V-8, ya know - good vibrating. i have hasport mounts on my civic w/ an h22 and i like it a lot more than stock mounts, so my vote says hasport mounts, or just get the poly inserts!

 

^ i mentioned the race cars engines bolted to the frame b/c the less movement from the motor the better. so the stiffer the mount the better. I guess the motor is waisting energy rocking around with softer mounts, and with stiffer mounts the energy is forced to stay still. this is hard to explain but picture a drill wobling around like crazy. it is just a lot harder to drill something in b/c the drill is going nuts. but if you man up and hold the drill steady it works like butter. get it??

 

I have poly inserts,a prothane race mount(driver's side)and a jdmshit mount for the tranny.My car vibrates alot,i wouldn't reccomend it for a street car.
Just get the inserts.

 

bump. im looking for an answer too.

 

ES rear insert is all you need to stiffen the engine a tad and not be too stiff. I have ES front torques and rear inserts. Very rattly and kind of annoying to most people- not to me obviously. I noticed a nice difference in throttle response and shifting

 

just go with energy suspension motor mount inserts, works well and stiffens it up just nice!

 

Ive also have the enjo mounts, they have a great 0 hassle customer service

So those inserts just slide in with the original material in the mounts?

 

from what ive read, yea

 

I like my Spoon mounts; harder rubber than OEM but don't make my teeth rattle

 

Went and picked up the ES mount inserts today and I LOVE them. I haven't put in the rear one (did the 2 lower torque mounts first and didn't feel like fighting with the rear mount bolt). With just the torque mounts in, there is a noticed increase of rattling at idle, but it's nothing I can't life with, and there seem to be virtually no motor movement between shifts or under acceleration.

Best 45 dollars I've spend in a long time (I know I could have gotten them cheaper on here, but my local shop had them on hand).

 

Rear mount insert is the most noticable. Your shifts will be perfect.
