Supercharged

primm907 · 12-02-2018, 07:21 PM

So, I've read through all kinds of threads regarding the "best" setup. From what I can glean, the VT engine mounts and RE tranny mounts seem to be the go-to combo. My question is whether or not I should possibly consider something like 95A poly due to the additional power/twist created by FI. This is strictly a fair weather fun car, but we do also take it on weekend trips from time to time.

The Revshift stuff is pretty inexpensive and offered in both 80A and 95A. Perhaps worth a try...

shore 95a is insanely stiff for a transmission or motormount.
Ok for an all out racecar, but on the street?
Shore 80A will already give noticeable NVH I think.

If this is primarily a road car, I would stick with NEW OE mounts, as these will take quite a bit of punishment, as in all the high rev drop the clutch starts and track work, never had a problem. If you want to go for competition mounts, Vibratech do a kit, with a rubber insert harshness option. I went for these as I needed to keep my engine and box down to minimum movement, due to space issues. I could have solid mounted, but I wanted to have a little compliance, not that I will ever go on the public roads with it!
