SLS Performance Front Motor Mount

[jeg0024]

It'll be simple.. simpler than the front mount, since it's a bit easier to access. I didn't even jack up my engine, though you probably should support it. I just had to grab hold of the engine and yank it back into position to get the final bolt through

So the motor does drop a bit when you take the old mount out? Ill probably just put some boards under it or something just incase

The front mount, no it doesn't drop but the others it would be a good idea to put support under the motor to hold it up as it will drop!

Yes the motor drops when you take the mount out... ask me and thats what I will tell you... dont ask me and just read the post and it will tell you... and hit yourself in the head and see if you can forget that I told you the motor will drop when you take the mount out.

OK, all done with side mount + test drive. Used jack with board to support motor. Things are in a bind a bit to tighten everything up, bet my rear mount is toast. I will add another washer on the inside between bracket, washers under aluminum bracket & longer bolt with self locking nut to get things squared up better. Not off crazy but noticeable by my perfectionist eye & how it all tightened up. Initially the vibes are not much different than with just the front but that is a good thing because they weren't bad at all before. Drives fine. I'll see how it breaks in. It's definitely sturdier setup now than the oem. The oem wasn't in too bad shape, just small tear on one side. Here's the pics.........http://www.msprotege.com/members/i12drivemyMP5/sls_001.jpg

awsome man. Break ins usually consist of hard accelerations and decelerations, also try some lateral movements left and right. You will swear that mount gave you more horsepower...

Looks good!

well it kinda did....you lose power and torque when the engine moves around...so in a sense you are just getting back what was originally there.

I disagree. You just get it sooner instead of waiting for the motor to "wind out the slack" in the mounts.

IE. Take two of the same truck and same cars. Now have one pull the other with a slightly longer rope then the other. It still takes the same amount of power to pull the car however one just happens to move sooner due to less slack or play in the rope.

you loose response...............................................................................

 

[qualityrockola]

has anyone thought maybe its a little of both....of course youre going to get better throttle response, and also, any movement of the engine that is not being used to turn the wheels is wasted. (burnout)

Changed bolt out to 4"x1/2"ss bolt with ss lock nut with a couple of spacers to get things a little bit better aligned. Here's the side evololution pics.........http://www.msprotege.com/members/i12drivemyMP5/sls_002.jpg

Things are tighter feeling with the front & side ones & less vibration than before with just front rr inserts & oem on others. Just waiting (semi-patiently) for the rear one.....Only other option for the rear & the drivers side auto are from the umentionable people. We'll see what happens with that. I know the rear one needs to be replaced (if my front inserts won't work there) . I need to do it while the other 2 are fresh. No hint intended..........

 

[musiclikscreams]

i need rear and driver's side mounts... hurry up SLS

 

[red95_240sx]

the front mount is most important right? its not important to replace others even tho they will rip sooner?
