TTR Solid Motor Mount Installed!!

[PapaSmurf805]

Thanks TurboTech. At idle and in the low 1000 rpm's when accellerating you can definitely feel it. It definitely can be noticed while cruising but not as bad as stated during startup. I'll see if I get used to it. Definitely never had a mod like this before so it may be "normal". Still might not be my cup of tea though. I'll give it time. To everyone else here are pictures below of the factory installed, side by side, and new installed. Enjoy.

Papasmurf, do you think that there is anyway to pump poly into the stock mount? I know this was a popular mod on the Civic Si's before the mounts came available. Skunk2 would just use windshield sealant to fill the stock mounts, it wasn't as pretty or solid as a real mount but it firmed it up a lot. If the TTR mount is to much for you, you could try that option and recoupe the money from the TTR mount as I am sure one of us on here would love to buy it off of you.

No there isn't as it is OIL filled... So even if you filled all the voids, which is none at all, you have the entire rubber oil bladder that moves still.

I'm going to give it time. Like I said, it's new to me. Not sure I'd want to go modding the factory one. If we take a long trip or something I can always throw the factory one back in. But it's my daily driver so the wife doesn't complain too much lol.

Thanks for the heads up, I am still depolyed and didn't really look at it to much before I left (had it a week and a half). Have you considering going with a stage system for the bushings? Soft (harder than stock), medium, hard (racing hard)? I will probably end up with this eventually, I just want to add the power to need it first.

We experimented many months trying to find the perfect durameter of poly, which is rigid, yet absorbs vibs, and does not deform. Changing the durameter softer, may have less vibs, but wont be nearly as rigid and may cause the bushing to deform/wear fast.... There was a lot of time in development of our unique "square bushing" design.

Sounds good, I appreciate all the development you have put into it and none the less, it's on my short list.

Thanks!

Order one. This jiggly drivetrain is getting on my nerves.

It's some change but it will be worth it. I want to get my car up to "speed" to need the mount then I will be looking to get it (tunes going in tomorrow and I am chopping the kid and putting a filter on this weekend, red neck SRI!lol), so I'm getting closer.

If you have even a stock car, and a mount is your first mod, you will really injoy the firm shifts and be able to feel how you are pushing your sonic! They are awesome.

Where the heck did Stratton go? Haven't seen anything out of him in over a month.

I like the idea of this a lot but I'm not sure if I want to give up my smooth and comfy ride. After all that's why I bought a new car. Once I get other mods done, I may get one of these just to put on for track days.

TTR, I believe you. I just have other priorities to get taken care of first.

Completely understandable. We will be here when you are ready.

i'm gonna install my motor mount.....is there a certain spot i need to put the jack to support the motor, or is anywhere under the motor ok....

 

[TurboTechRacing]

use a block to distribute the weight evenly. Failure to do so could cause your oil pan to crack.

k.....did thant and it is now installed......and man the vibration it has now i must say i wasnt quite expecting.....even listening to the other reviews.....gonna take some getting used to for sure.....this wont cause any damage of any kind will it???? but my wife and i did notice the shifting was crisper for lack of a better word......

Vibs are felt at idle, during driving, you should not feel to much if any of them. Most do sit and idle in a car. Plus over time, the vibs disapate as the bushing breaks it a bit.
