Turbine Tech Front Engine Mount

also to the guy who got his mounts done and dyno'ed what did you dyno previous to having the mounts?

Oh niiiiiiiiiiiiiice......... thanks, I just thought I'd like to do a dyno comparison.... do a stock dyno (on a good day of course) and then do a dyno after the mounts (also on a good day) and see if there is a difference.
 
got my car back and wow, it is so much more firm now with the rear diff mount and bushings. mazda should have built it like this.
 
I have no "pre-mount" dyno results, but if you think about, the mounts really shouldn't change the numbers much. I DO have a printout if anyone is curious. Other than the mounts the car is stock, so the dyno results should be on par with other stock MS6 dyno runs.

Yeah I'm curious about that, people say the wheels feel like they ahve more bite... and supposedly with the rear mount everything should be stronger, tighter and more taunt?

I think I'm gonna wait to have the dynos done same day, a before and after the install.
 
i have the 88D awr motor mount and i felt no added vibration after having this installed. car feels a lot better now.

That front Engine mount makes it all that much better too.
I have the rear Engine mount so that plus the front one = Woody hahaha

where did you have yours installed? how long did it take and price please. lol
 
Vibration, Ahhhh!!!!!

So really, how much vibration are we talking? Can anyone kinda be more descriptive about it? Or make a video, that would be awesome... showing the vibration on the steering wheel, or just by letting us hear it buzzz... oand a cup of water, a la jurassic park


If someone with the full kit could do something like that, it would benefit the entire community.

I bought this car over the Speed3 because of its level of refinement and daily comfort it provides. I certainly do get on it from time to time and would like a tighter feeling drivetrain. It's the weakest point of the car, bar none. Some shifts feel vague and imprecise, and the engine bucks and shifts under hard load... It should feel tighter but still smooth. Which is why I'm so afraid of doing any mount upgrades, because I don't think I should have to settle for a vibrating cabin at idle, or when the A/C is flipped on.

I LOVE the fact that this car feels as smooth as any reasonably priced luxury car when youre gently cruising and idling.

So someone please make a video and let us see if the sacrafice is worth it... Hell, Turbine Tech should hook that person up for making a video that makes their business grow! Because I don't know about you guys, but I'm not paying hundreds of dollars AND drilling a hole in my subframe based on an internet description of "little to no added vibrations". :)

For the engine bucking, get the rear motor mount. For the vague shifting, the TWM shifter will cure that, if not the shifter, get the bushings. I have both and can confirm that they fix those problems.

I'm very enticed to get the Stage 1 from TWM, but have yet to finalize my decision... Is it a pretty straight forward install? I know bushings will take the rubbery feeling away, but I want it to positively go into gear without having to muscle it through detents. A 28% reduction in throw can't hurt... but I'm glad it keeps the stock height.

Rear mount, I'm sold on. But I don't want any of the current offerings. I need to see a video, or feel an actual speed6 with one installed. That will help me make up my mind...

The rear diff also needs a fair amount of stiffening. In fact, it's not even an option, it should be a necessity. If we want our vehicles to last without a continual smacking of the differential, we need to invest in some good mounts. We just need a company to make the whole set and have it be refined enough to have no notable increase in vibration to it.
 
I did the Stage 2 with bushings in about 90 minutes. It has no problem going into gear, but the reduction in height makes it a little more stiff. I have used a Stage 1 shifter with bushings (jdub260's) and it was smoother than what mine is now.

As for the rear mount, I have the AWR with the 70 durometer bushings, and as far as added vibration, I only get them below 1400 rpm. It's mostly noticeable with the clutch in or in neutral, but once going you would swear its still stock.

Good luck at achieving the impossible..... if you tighten the drivetrain, where is the vibration going to go? It has to go somewhere.... it certainly can't go into the ground. You're going to get some extent of vibration no matter what you do, especially when trying to make the drivetrain taunt as can be. right now we don't feel much vibration and I feel that it's because our drivetrains (like the rear differential) are the ones taking that vibration. Which is why some people will break theirs during hard launches, because of the vibration just impacting on the drivetrain. When you tighten up the drivetrain you're minimizing the vibration in it, but it still has to go somewhere, it can't just entirely disappear, that would be like the engine/crankshaft/pistons not moving at all.

I know how you feel on the vibration. I was a little worried how the vibrating might feel on teh rear engine mount with the AWR getting the 70 or 88 durometor, I took a ride in a friend's black speed6 down south of me and even with the 88 I didn't notice any difference from the standard vibration.

I haven't ridden in a car that has had the turbine tech mounts installed on it though, but a video I doubt is going to show you any vibrating, it's not like you're noticeably going to see the steering wheel jarring up and down. But you might feel it. So it's hard to tell that way with a video. The hands down best thing is to "see for yourself" but that can be difficult if no one around you has the mounts so you can get a ride in their car and see what it's like.

I'm already sold on the mounts though, I'm planning to get the front engine and the rear diff mounts. I'm waiting til May when the government starts handing out that "free" money, the Economic Stimulus package :D
 
dammit im kicken myslef in the ass for spending money on my truck when i couldve had these mounts.. they look awesome. i could care less about vibration, i think its fun when u can feel more of the car. sit inside an NHRA dragster then ull feel vibration. anyways if someone could can u take a video of the motors movement before and after install.that would be great.(yippy)

But exactly how much is that vibration? is it just through the wheel? will a passenger notice it? is it through your seat? how does it feel and how apparent is it?, do you have to be actually paying attention to notice it, or is it disruptive?

There is a slight shuttering through the wheel, that's all.
