CP-E motor mount review and analysis.

[stockms3]

Just wanted to add THANK YOU for the great review I will order my mount sometime this month...

Excellent review and discussion here.

Vibration wise the car feels just like stock with the CP-E mount, which in a way makes me nostalgic for the TRZ mount with its rough starts and very race-like feel. I really wish we could have it both ways.

so you guys agree that the mount controls the motor more then the inserts? But it still has no vibes

 

[DreSEL]

I can say this from personal experience. I've had a ES insert in my Sentra SE for about 7 years and it still feels stiff like when I first installed it. Now, I do not beat that car but I do dump the clutch every now and then. I also had a turbocharged 94 Sentra SE-R with the same inserts in 3 out of 4 mounts. After about 2 years I noticed that there was a little more egine movement than when I first installed them. Checked them out and I found that the tranny mount insert was cracked.

I just installed the inserts in my MS3 and I like the way the car feels, with litlle added vibrations (even though I know the vibes will be a little more noticeable in the winter). Since I don't plan on beating the crap out of my car or doing burn outs (at least not intentionally) the inserts will do for me. But if I was to take off hard at every other traffic light, or even take it to the track often, I would go with a solid mount.

Just my opinion.

I know I am reopening an old post but this is for the new guys buying SPEEDs or have yet to get an engine mount.
I initially had the CorkSport inserts because of cost and it just made sense to me that filling the gap would improve wheel hop.
Well it worked.... but and there is a but
I have started to experience wheel hop again badly after a few months of using the CS inserts.
My advice is to save your money and do it right the first time.
Get you a good mount.

I read the reviews and for me it was between the S t r e e t U n i t mount and the T R Z dogbone.

I chose the T R Z dogbone, both had great reviews and I talked to friends that had both. Its just personal preference and the T R Z dogbone was a little less expensive...

So good luck to you and you will enjoy your new mount...


Out!

Funny you mention this...I installed mine this past September and it feels just as good as when I first installed it.

I dont understand how the CS inserts can wear out, they are hard plastic. Im not saying they dont, because I have them and have noticed less vibes and sloppier shift feel over the few months I have had them.....But how does the effectiveness wear off?

Any wear Item will wear out. Anything that is constanly under stress will eventually breakdown. Just like metal will eventually fatigue after stress.

 

[PCspeed3]

this is true, i didnt expect it to fade back to almost stock feel over time with the hard plastic inserts. I may end up just ordering a CPE mount when the extra money come up, did they finally get these figured out and in stock?

 

[duckduck]

Anyone have reviews of the new CPE motor mounts (60 and 75 durometer)? I believe they stopped the 50 durometer mounts due to the troubles they were having with the rubber.

 

[Larimer]

I've got the 60. It vibes a tiny bit more than stock, but breaks in after a couple days. Feel rock solid and shifts are a lot better. Engine noise went up a little also. I don't even notice the vibes anymore after a couple weeks, but I do have a couple rattles to track down to make the car feel and sound stock again.

 

[Abilor]

I couldn't handle NOT having the vibes from my TRZ. SOOOO good... Between that and my 12" sub, my car is a vibrating chair rollercoaster now.

 

[CnoTataymo]

Yeah, I just recently changed my CS inserts last Friday night to the TRZ dogbone mount. I too felt that the inserts after 8 months of having them in felt almost close to stock. I could feel the engine move. Even on our dyno day back in October, I noticed how much the engine moved with them in and when another guy with more power/torque with the TRZ dyno'd, his barely moved.

This might be a noob question but I plan on installing my CP-E motor mount this weekend and I was wondering if there was any danger of anything falling down on top of me once I remove the stock motor mount? Also, I just got the new batch they made with the 60 duro with the black instead of blue material and neither side is contoured out like some of the older ones. I'm guessing it doesn't matter which way I put it in then? Thanks for the help.

The rear mount is not weight bearing so nothing needs to be supported when installing the mount. So the only thing that will fall on you is dirt.

The install can be done on those rhino ramps in about 15-20minutes. Just either have a buddy or be prepared to wrestle with the tranny to get the mount in/out. As far as which side is up on the cp-e I will have to let someone else answer since I had a different brand (But i would say it doesn't matter.)

 

[Boostin McFly]

Put it in today...it's like day and night compared to the stock mount...damn I love flooring it in 1st - 3rd without any wheelhop!

I'm about to install my CPE MM as well (have the 60-duro one), probably in a couple of weeks. Did you notice much more vibration &/or noise compared to stock?
