View Full Version : billet mounts installed
Area47 02-25-2009, 11:31 PM i haven't pulled the ttr mount yet, so my vibrations felt will most likely go down.
17 and 18mm sockets needed.
torque on the mount to subframe is 40ft lbs on both of them

front mount is cake walk. two 17mm's and an 18mm and it falls out. i did this on a lift tonight in about 15 mins tops. with air tools.
rear one is a bit more technical to get out and swapped. not hard if you have enough ground clearance

really can't see the rear one too well it when it installed. you get the idea though.
dfco is less noticeable when hit. the vibes go away as engine rpm and speed increase. less rocking of the motor itself. i never had wheel hop issues aside from at the track when vht is involved. my tire pressure is set to 34 in the front, and 36 in the rear. did a 1-2 run after i got them in and still rolled smoke off the tires with ease. i can't use the two step to launch the car. meth nozzle is to big. have to drop the hammer at a higher rpm when i get bored enough to do it.
HB_SS/TC 02-25-2009, 11:36 PM I'll be needing this

:lol:
ls1fbody 02-25-2009, 11:44 PM meth nozzle is too big, lol
too bad i can't see the pictures.
does it still do that horrible bucking in first if you're not uber sensitive about the trottle?
Cobalttc05 02-25-2009, 11:47 PM i need some of these :)
i would like a ride porfavor :lol:

415ml nozzle is a bit big when trying to roll into the throttle.
:)
newp, no bucking. thats more of the driver input than anything else
revhigh18 02-25-2009, 11:52 PM how easy would it be to change the bushings on my tranny mounts

haha, i guess so.

10-4, just curious. wanted to see if i could be a little more lazy.

I remember a certain tvs car promise a smoke show once these where installed
Area47 02-25-2009, 11:56 PM how easy would it be to change the bushings on my tranny mounts
pain in the dick actually
why would you need to change yours?

do what paul does, have your mailman get involved :)
Steven Flit 02-25-2009, 11:59 PM thanks for the short review Bryan
prolly pick these up in the near future.
Black SS/SC 06 02-26-2009, 12:00 AM Im curious to see how much of a difference these make. They look great. I dont have any wheel hop with my ttr mount.
07blackg5 02-26-2009, 12:04 AM so the tq spec for the subframe is 74, whats the spec for the tranny side? im swapping in my prothane bushings soon. thanks.
and great how to/show off thread
06 pursuit gt 02-26-2009, 12:04 AM whats the deal with the last mount you installed,whats up with the bracket,do you still use that bracket?
yes you still need that bracket. its what attaches it to the tranny. the toughest part of the whole install i found was getting the spacers to fit on the bracket with the new mount.
Area47 02-26-2009, 12:05 AM that i would have to look up again when i get back to the shop tomorrow.
yes. you reuse the bracket on the backside.
07blackg5 02-26-2009, 12:08 AM thanks. can i bother you to shoot me a pm when you get the specs? thanks you

Area47 02-26-2009, 02:16 PM i stand behind this 100% on them working as intended. less power is lost when you get wide open, in a sense more is transfered to the tires instead of using it to rotate the engine. dfco entry and exit feeling is bog down is gone. shuddering when the clutch is popped is gone.
these mounts 110% work as they are designed to
SS/SCking 02-26-2009, 02:27 PM Are these the rotated mounts? if so how the space for the tvs? any clearance issues up top?

Pardon, but could someone define "dfco" and "vht".
I ordered mine this morning. So excited to hear they are relatively easy to install.

why would your decel fuel cut off be so rough to start off with? i never have noticed, wait wait i know what you mean now, your talking about say letting up in first and second and entering dfco, you get that horibble lunge foward followed by two clicks of the axels. then when you get back on it, it does the same thing? and you have to be super smooth to avoid this?
is that what you mean? that is much smoother now due to less engine travel/movement?
if so that alone is a big plus, and on a larger scale (DR's and VHT) its going to really shine...
BriantheLion26 02-26-2009, 02:41 PM Pardon, but could someone define "dfco" and "vht".

Deceleration fuel cut off
VHT is what they put on the track to get grip.
hungryhip-ccp 02-26-2009, 02:42 PM these mounts are looking better and better with each review i read, thanks bry bry.

ah, now that makes sense. Well, now I'm even more excited, i get so embarrassed when i smack passengers heads off the dash in city stop and go traffic.:lol:
N8s07SS 02-26-2009, 04:49 PM subscribed for use when my mounts come in.
Area47 02-26-2009, 04:50 PM less motor movement. results in less issues with engine movement. duh! smoother engagement and disengagement
:)
did a 1-2 run in the rain. which lasted about 10 ft. zero hop. my car in first in the rain would hop. doesn't hop anymore
08BlackSS/TC 02-26-2009, 07:22 PM Torque Specs:
Front and Rear Trans Mount (thru bolts) - 74 ft/lbs
Front Transaxle Mount to Transaxle Bolts (2 bolts) - 66 ft/lbs (MUST BE TORQUED IN SEQUENCE BELOW)
-----> Top bolt, then bottom.
Rear Transaxle Mount to Subframe Bolts (3 bolts) - 44 ft/lbs
scott allen 02-26-2009, 07:25 PM should we use lock tite?
Area47 02-26-2009, 09:00 PM nope. don't have too
boostnss 02-26-2009, 09:12 PM subscribed
Area47 02-26-2009, 10:37 PM removed the TTR engine mount. vibrations dropped a lot. still just a hint of them, not like it was however.
:)
same results on the street though
boostnss 02-26-2009, 10:43 PM does it matter if we leave the ttr motor mount in?
SSdan 02-26-2009, 10:44 PM Still waiting for smoke fest :)
Black SS/SC 06 02-26-2009, 10:48 PM does it matter if we leave the ttr motor mount in?
You want to use the stock mount since its more flexible.
BlilBT 02-26-2009, 10:48 PM Them are nice got to get me a set of those...along with a few other things this summer if all goes right!
Area47 02-26-2009, 10:50 PM conn, you can leave it in and be fine. just vibrates more. since im the test monkey for these, i am just going off how they are intended to be used to get a real world result for the masses
boostnss 02-26-2009, 10:54 PM ok that works for me i dont mind the vibs plus i dont have the stock mount anymore
Area47 02-28-2009, 01:43 PM snow report. everyone with stock mounts, or a ttr engine mount has this problem. 1st gear in the snow. let the clutch out. the car will hop.
with these mounts, this is gone. zero hop.
:)
Deathscythe 03-01-2009, 07:29 PM I am glad they will work properly on lowered cars. You're the second or third I know of that have them installed on a lowered vehicle. I just have to find my stock mount now. Thanks.
Rodimus_Prime 03-01-2009, 07:54 PM THese are sounding better and better :) so the TTR upper mount can stay?
Deathscythe 03-01-2009, 08:01 PM did you get rid of your stocker?
Area47 03-01-2009, 08:15 PM i took the ttr mount off, put the stocker back on. vibs are 90% gone. you can use it with the ttr upper. however, they are designed to be used with the stock side mounts.
Deathscythe 03-01-2009, 08:22 PM I know with the poly mounts, the resonating noise in the cabin seemed to be a lot worse than when I just had the hahn exhaust on. Is your cabin quieter now as well?
rockkrawler628 03-01-2009, 09:30 PM Where did ya go?
I left the forum for a lil while... I got rid of my cobalt and bought a stupid ass GMC Canyon... now I wanna get the new SS/TC and make it a project car...
VeNoM0713 03-04-2009, 11:32 PM hey area, stupid question but im guessing when i install these i need to have an engine cradle to support the engine/tranny when i switch these out? does it matter what one i switch out first? thanks
Area47 03-05-2009, 12:36 PM do the rear first. it's not easy. then again i cheated and have access to air tools and a lift. also, do one at a time. you will thank me later

yeah, i have the same situation lol.. my uncle owns his own collision shop so i have access to alot of stuff.. 5 or 6 lifts lol.. but i wont have to support the tranny or motor whe i have one out? just making sure so i dont break anything
Area47 03-05-2009, 05:15 PM may want to use a pole jack just for moral support
07blackg5 03-05-2009, 09:02 PM ever find the tq specs of the tranny side?
08BlackSS/TC 03-05-2009, 09:18 PM ever find the tq specs of the tranny side?
I posted them. Should be on the 1st page.
07blackg5 03-06-2009, 01:12 PM thanks. and for anyone whos looking, its page 2 post #33
