I need new engine mounts!

[USMCgetsome]

Ok fellas hook me up with links to new engine mounts for an s13 rb swap. Other than mckinney!

[Romeo_rus]

stock rb25 mounts in a good condition?

[USMCgetsome]

for conversion purposes. Such as mckinney mounts/ruckus mounts/core mounts. etc....

[jdmae86]

hockey pucks and grade 10 bolts?

[Sil240]

Make your own:Dixie CupsFlexane 92/94Threaded Rod, washers, a couple o nutsAnd some time

Probably the cheapest and best mounts you can get. Or if your rocking a R32 Xmember and stock mounts, then pull them out an fill them with Window Sealer or Flexane.

SEARCH AZhitmans threads to find out about those DIY mounts

[USMCgetsome]

lol. man you guys are killing me. I mean the conversion mount setup. not the rubber mounts. i did read azhitmans dixie cup mounts. Looks great.

zer...parts

found these on the forum. Will those blue mckinney mounts work for my s13/rb25det setup?

[Sil240]

By NEW engine mounts I assumed you had some Top Crap Mounts already and the Isolators took a shyt on you.

Oh in that case

SEARCH!!!!!! - Not to be a DlCK but this has literally been covered a Billion times and counting.

[USMCgetsome]

bro i agree about searching. Already been there done that.

Checked out ruckus. I haven't seen any in awhile.mckinney is a lil priceyscrew top hat/corei remember something about dirtbag racing but heard horror storiesOther than that i'm out of options. i'm reffering to the mounting brackets.

[Darius]

I have offered several times in different threads to provide solid urethane isolators and a beefier transmission mount to replace the insufficient parts on the TopHat mounts, but nobody shows interest so...

[USMCgetsome]

BRING IT DARIUS! LOL. I'll try it out!

[Darius]

I need about 25-50 people for the transmission mounts to keep the price down around $75 each. Figuring that there are more than 50 Core mount kits out there, it shouldn't be tough to do. IMO, all of them need to be replaced. The 1/8" steel plate is just not rigid enough.

The front isolators will be relatively stiff urethane and will have to be bolted thru like a solid-mount would. cdorhout is running a couple now and he says he can feel vibrations more than the McKinney isolators allowed. Only difference is they can't be pulled apart /fail.

Oh, and they aren't gold anymore. Powdercoated black.

Back when he first posted that thread, I contacted him in reference to my problem with using Nismo KA mounts + old Ruckus-Racing kit, so they fabbed some to be able to use them and have the hood closed with the stock intake manifold. He sold me the ones they used to fab it up (still production model) and my hood can successfully close now.

I think they make all of them with this option now. Before my set of engine brackets, you had to specify which ones you needed.

[Darius]

Dude, the old Rukus Racing mounts are the Core Mounts =JUNK!. The new Ruckus Racing mounts are a lot better and made with 3/16" steel plate instead of 1/8" steel. They're thicker, but I am still leary of the moment resistence of a flat piece of steel where the bending moment is parallel to the flat side of the plate. This is why I went with channels.

Note on the engine mount above...I'm going to tell the fabrication shop to use a damn MIG welder instead of handing it over to a 10 year old with a stick welder.

[maryjane]

do not use top crap mounts!!!

mckinney mounts r good mounts!

[RustspecS13]

I got McKinney mounts with my swap, since I bought my motor set second hand. They were great and I'm glad I got them, and if I had to do it all over that's what Id get.

Its pretty much between the syko and McKinney mounts as the only good options. I know the guy that originally designed the ruckus racing mounts and I know the original ones were good but they have changed production methods too many times.

~Alex

[spikee306]

either syko or mckinney.

i have the syko mount kit myself and i love it. haven't heard anything too bad about mckinney tho. doesn't matter which one you get, they're both good mount kits.

[USMCgetsome]

i contacted the guys over at zerolift autolab.

which mounts?

[cdorhout]

I use Darius Manufacturing Co. urethane isolators up front. They're the best I've ever owned! And I've wrecked two pairs of McKinney.

[maryjane]

i ordered top crap mounts copied them with better material and welded the dog snot out of, and im using grade 10 1/2 bolts and a bunch of washers with a bead down each side

[USMCgetsome]
