[Dgardi]

Can anyone recommend some good motor mounts for just a KA? Maybe a link as well?
Any info helps.
Thanks.

someone tell me why i cant just frekin make a motormout ... that keeps the engine from moving PERIOD
like a solid metal mount...
whats the problem why does the motor have to move around?

[down_shift]

people make solid mounts all the time. Its just not a very streetable option. Solid mounts are really shakey let alone solid metal "hotrod" mounts.

[Casey]

hm aight well i was under the impression that you cant.
clears that up thanks

"Can't" If you have plasma and welder, can't doesn't exisist. Sure it's not always pretty but it works. To give you an idea of the reason mostly don't use them for a street car Go rent an 8o pound jackhammer and rest your chin on the handle while youbust up some concrete.

[Casey]

oh shiz haha that makes alot of sense... aight ill prolly just keep stock and if it bucks around too much ill adress it then

hm..
stockers filled is always an option.. at least thats what im doing.

i have solid metal motor and tranny mounts... they arent bad at all. ask flip he rode in it

[Casey]

hmm
making solid mounts for the 2jz swap would be easier than making non solid ones =D
i can just weld some metal and make bolt plates n stuff
ill prolly try solids first
or mod a set of my ka mounts
2jz ftw

Yah it feels great... Just depends on what you're willing to live with tho. I know in my case I am shooting for a go-kart feel so...

[Dgardi]

Will the stock mounts from an s14 work on an s13?

[babowc]

yup.
all *edit* 240sx are interchangeable

I will never do solid mounts again. I have seen more than one motor loose the rod bearing because of them. If you are looking for a cheap alternative, you can use liquid nail to make the stock ones harder. There was a thread on FA about them not long ago.

[Casey]

okay so... im gettin different answers... how risky is stock mounts?
and a ROD bearing? sheez hmm
i might try that liquid nail thing.
do i just inject the stuff inside the rubber part of the motor mount?
or what

[babowc]

yep..
you see ridges on the mm.
fill those ridges in
i did
i need to put em in..

Make sure your mounts aren't torn to shreads first... If they are already messed up it won't do you mutch good...

Very true. That stuff is only so strong. I think I tore mine first time I cranked it with the cams and no tranny mount.

I ended up picking up some stock mounts from Tophat for like 85 bucks. 2 motor mounts and a tranny mount.
