Using Urathane for engine mounts

[cjsupra90]

Is 1/2" bolt adequate for that application? I like that design and may do something similar, but will be beating my 4Runner off road once the 1UZ is fitted and want some extra beef.

You can go bigger if you want, but probably wont need it.. I built a set very similar to the design that Im using in my car (same 1/2" bolt bushings) for a 1500hp drag mustang and they have see over 35 passes at the track with not a single problem to date.... Just dont use a cheap grade bolt.

hey it's a 95 sc400 us model stock 1uzfe......

Ok, let me make sure I've got this correct here. You have a 95 SC400 with the stock motor in it and you just want something to replace the stock rubber mounts? So this is not for some swap project correct?

[pas4116]

[pas4116]

hey man pm sent,i figured it out,...damn i'm dumb

On street cars I find fitting an extra support on left side engine mount helps heaps.. The engine tends to lift that side.. So a fabricating some steel movement limiting brackets helps keep mounts alive..Stops engine turning at drags also.. Which can lead to embarrasing bonnet / hood issues.. In some cases a small strong bolt [rod bolt] can be used.. With plenty of [6mm or so] clearance ..

Chris... if you are trying to get the ball rolling on urethane sc400 mounts... you know who is interested.

 

[cjsupra90]

Im stoked! Keep me posted.

I may have to fab me up a set, I like the look of those! Anyone have any spare Urethene bushing I could use to make me a set?

 

[UZZ-TT]

This is definitely a good idea! [You guys rule...] Really interested in this for my TT V8 6spd...

 

[scotturnot]

Here are some drawings of the mounts I am currently making. I have opted to use larger Urethene Mounts. I selected the 1.5" dia working surface, I will use the Energy Suspension Black due to it is self lubricating but otherwise has all the same properties as the red.
Here is a stock mount

Her is what I am making, These should be a 100% stock bolt in. Note you have to offset the upper stud to keep it all in line with how the stock are.

Here is a drawing of them layed over each other. I wanted to keep the mount in the size restraints of the stocker. I will Keep you posted on how they turn out.

 

[SC400TT]

Very nice Scott. Looks like I am in for a set!!

Could you not just use a engine dampner? the wee strut things? Im looking at those as an option at the moment

Hilux Urathane Engine Mounts

Hey Guys,

Recently had these put together. Have only driven the car a few times (no exhaust yet), but the engine vib seems to be marginal...

 

[scotturnot]

Motor mounts update. they are painted with wrinkle coat.

 

[Smitherz]

Damn good shots of those engine mounts guys. It's exactly how I've been picturing mine when I Fab them.

 

[xirforever]
