Unclejake Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 What about getting your old mounts re made using Nolathane? Too weak? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WDE_BDY Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 What about solid ally bushes? ive seen i !uz rev with a coin on the top and it didnt move, wonder if theyd be savage or not!? Just remember, gotta do gearbox mount solid too if you solid mount the engine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spencer Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 What about solid ally bushes? ive seen i !uz rev with a coin on the top and it didnt move, wonder if theyd be savage or not!? seen a JZ with a coin on top to smooth as fuck but still rips the mounts when doing skids. Edit: oh an unclejake its custom mounts to get th v8 in his soarer so there is no factory mounts realy but urethane mount would be the go Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr dori Posted July 26, 2007 Author Share Posted July 26, 2007 ah fuk it im confused now, non of the mounts ive seen have a 12mm stud, fukn should make the brackets to go the the std crossmember mounts aye!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spencer Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 fuck just do whatever then work from there. Your trying to convert it so it sits on the newer style vertical mounts that later toyotas have aye? just seen most guys with that style go solid in the end when doing skids Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sentra Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 noone will ever know if you leave the gbox mount rubber, it makes the car 100% more pleasant then having all mounts solid. (not technically legal but will go over cert, vtnz. 100% safe. anyone saying otherwise hasnt done it.) benifits include no exhaust flexi joint needed, minimal exhaust/body clearances, solid exhaust hangers mean you can drop the gearbox and the motor doesnt need supporting, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unclejake Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 I have been told that solid mounted motor = stuff falls off car due to vibration transmitted into shell rattling everything loose. I haven't tried it myself though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sentra Posted July 27, 2007 Share Posted July 27, 2007 dude unless your fwd who runs a flexi joint?? i needed to quickly add some substance to my benifits list, it was the first one that came to mind mines a ported rotary, the only real diffirece was the dash got a bit rattlyer. compared to the hard suspension/spherical bearing strut tops etc your likely to be using in a car that does such cranking skids that it tears mount rubbers its un noticible. does that garage dori one have a rubber/lolathane isolator or 'just' a rod end? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unclejake Posted July 27, 2007 Share Posted July 27, 2007 Mounting an engine on a spherical bearing (rose joint) seems like a waste of a bearing. I can't quite see the logic in locating the engine with something that is designed to move but can't because of the way it is being used. Did I miss something?. Edit - I guess it would be good to allow for errors in the mount fabrication that result in the mounts not aligning to the crossmember Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
