engine mount upgrades

[Wangan]

i know australia has some stuff for our cars that i may have forgotten about, but anyone know about anytype of polyurethane engine mount upgrades that will probably work on our cars?

try asking http://www.speed-source.net/products/polymount.htm it's probbly the same mounts.. what i did was the lazy way... what i did was got a tube of polyurathne then filled up the spaces in the stock mounts with it... it's not the same but whatever works fine enough

Email Speed Source and see if they have ones that fit - you will probably need to give them measurements.

this is what i've done in the past, too! works fine as long as your current mounts aren't already torn.

Hey, I'm putting new mounts on, what exactly are you guys doing? Where do I get this tube of poly?

[seng]

this is the method that i've used. here's a link to give you a general idea.

3M urethane stuff you can pick up at your local home depot or any hardware store.

I see, thanks. I think I'll keep mine stock, from my reading it appears to help with better acceleration but may create a little more vibration. My camry is just going to be an "around town" 3rd car. I thought maybe these mounts were prone to breaking early so guy were doing this to increase the longevity, or does it do that also?

i bought brand new mounts and filled them with poly urethane but still managed to kill them in 2 years with only a few hard launches. i'll see what i can do with speed source.

My two cents for what it’s worth…

Stock MT mounts are all you need. They work fine for what their designed to do. I pulled my engine & auto trans and was impressed by the number (5) of mounts used to keep this drive train in place.

For those have who have found a way to place performance into a Camry,,, one more story

Back in the day of “large” small blocks, GM stock mounts could not hold the torque of the delivered Horsepower. The DIY solution was to install strain cables from the engine block to the frame rails. These cables were installed slack (slight) and when the hammer was put down they would kick in (tighten) before the mounts broke loose and the torque was delivered to the drive tires. The MT mounts would remain intact… and provide anti-dampening therefore reducing vibration

Well... white90dx did a damn fine job building a 280hp prowler...

I actually used that strap setup in my Geo, it's good to be able to spin the tires before you pop your whopping two engine mounts and two trans/t-case mounts.

I was thinking of that thumper as I was responding....

I am hopping he will respond on the MT mounts to say what he did.....
