As said... better to use Solid (Mugen or the likes) engine mounts.
But good combination is Energy Engine mount inserts and ETD.
They are good... they do keep the engine in place under hard acceleration / throttle pumping. My only concerns is that it pushes against ONE side of the engine.
I've got a J's racing one on my car - honestly you don't need it for the street.
worth while mod.
Yeah definately gonna put the NRG one in and see if I need the upper engine mounts after that but I doubt it,don't want the car to shake to shit :)
I got one it helps stop the movement of the engine abit. Does make a difference if your lazy to replace to solid mounts
Haha.That's me :)
ETD with still transfer incabin vibrations. just a fancy gadget for under the hood BLING.
why not just do torque mount inserts all THREE and leave it at that.
OR even better DIY FILL engine mounts.
these alone will eliminate the need for ETD. ESP if your not putting out massive power. ETD FTL
hey guys, does anyone have pics with any of these mounted in the engine bay in a EK with a b18c perhaps?
Anybody know any manufacturers that make them for the EF's?
> they lok almost like spoon ones
Ingall's also make them.
> why not just do torque mount inserts all THREE
There are five mounts that can be filled/stuffed with inserts.
> OR even better DIY FILL engine mounts.
I don't see how filling is better than a good quality install using inserts. They're pretty close.
Filling might be a bit tighter, but the poly isn't guaranteed to stay stuck to rubber.
Inserts can be looser, but they're reversable.
> pretty much don't need to do any of em with one of these unless your motor makes so much torque
Inserts & Torque arms are an attempt to solve wheel hop, which can be quite bad even with a standard motor and old/broken engine mounts.
As soon as it happens to you, you'll know exactly what i'm talking about.
> don't want the car to shake to shit
traction bars are the answer to wheel hop and no engine vibrations.
