uk-rich Posted October 19, 2005 Author Share Posted October 19, 2005 come on peeps, i need to know what these solid engine mounts are like, need to make the decision to go with them or not ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted October 19, 2005 Share Posted October 19, 2005 Wouldn't the vibration bit a bit heavy through to the cabin? You'll be like this guy -> What's the advantage of having stiffer mounts above good stock ones? (I can understand maybe if running BIG power) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uk-rich Posted October 19, 2005 Author Share Posted October 19, 2005 i need to know how bad it would be, im running a big single and don't want to rip the old ones apart, thought someone on here would have had, or been in a car with them on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted October 19, 2005 Share Posted October 19, 2005 I can only tell you that in my kitcar this upgrade stopped the engine trying to break free of the engine bay, but did increase vibration quite considerably...but then it all adds to a closer more involved experience.

uk-rich Posted October 19, 2005 Author Share Posted October 19, 2005 so what do you think, fcuk it and get them fitted and vibrate myself to pieces or risk the turbo touching the suspension tower ?? million dollar question Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted October 19, 2005 Share Posted October 19, 2005 so what do you think, fcuk it and get them fitted and vibrate myself to pieces or risk the turbo touching the suspension tower ?? million dollar question I reckon you should be a pioneer and go for it! Wobbly mounts are no good. I don't know how many people make the mounts or if you're restricted to just TRD or Toyota OEM ones? You'd expect TRD ones to be a good compromise. I wouldn't have thought it'd be too bad as a passenger at any rate. You just will end up with more annoying trim squeeks and rattles over time.

uk-rich Posted October 19, 2005 Author Share Posted October 19, 2005 ive got the phr solid engine mounts, but trim rattles really annoy me, but i think i've cured them all by now it says These are a must for any Supra making in excess of 650 Horsepower! On the chassis dyno, we found that single turbo equipped engines would move in such a fashion as to push the turbocharger assembly against the shock tower under boost. This resulted many times in a scratched turbo housing and/or cracked exhaust manifold. We also found that the TRD upgrade engine mounts were not sufficient enough to correct this on engines making over 650 Horsepower, so we once again turned to our research and development department. Constructed from Chromoly Steel, these engine mounts are coated in the familiar PHR red, and utilize Grade 8, 1/2" fasteners to corral the mighty 2JZGTE. A direct replacement for the stock engine mounts on the 1993-1996 Supra and a standard item on any PHR race engine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted October 19, 2005 Share Posted October 19, 2005 Gotta be worth a try. It's only your own time you're potentially wasting after all. Especially seeing as you've got 'em already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Posted October 19, 2005 Share Posted October 19, 2005 TRD do uprated but not solid engine mounts - these are a MUCH better idea. Solid engine mounts belong on RACE cars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian C Posted October 19, 2005 Share Posted October 19, 2005 You know, you could always sort the turbo kit out so that it *doesn't* hit the suspension tower, rather than nailing the engine to the chassis -Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
