How to install Turbo Tech Racing poly engine mount.
Here is the How-To for installin the new Turbo Tech Racing polyurethane engin mount.
Tools you will need:
- Ratchet
- 6"-9" extension
- 15mm socket
- 18mm deep well socket
- Floor jack
- Block of wood
Step 1. You will need to support the engine since you will be removing the motor mount. Place the block of wood on the floor jack. Place your jack under the oil pan and begin lifting(shown below).
Step 2. Remove the 15mm bolts and 18mm nuts holding the mount to the body and motor. Keep these nuts and bolts as you will be reusing them on the new mount.
Step 3. Replace it with your new polyurethane mount and reinstall the nuts. You may need to adjust the floor jack height to get the bolts to align properly.
Thats it, now go have fun.

Nice how-to. I have a couple questions though. Which other wheel-hop/suspension mods had you done before this mount.
And How bad would you say the vibes are?
I've done pretty much all the other mounts, and am thinking about ditching the Ingal's Torque Brace for this as well

I personally feel that the Trans mounts and CABs provided the most noticeable gains for me in wheel hop control, but I only have a dampener for the motor mount, and not a solid mount yet, so I can't compare how much this alone removes.
But with each additional mount that I have done on mine I have noticed improvements. SO I think the answer is that ALL the shitty stock mounts must go, lol. Hello vibrations, goodbye wheel hop

I completely agree with what you are saying. My last car was an '01 cavalier and i replaced all mounts and the difference was night and day. The engine response was good and the transmission shifted smooth as silk. i plan on doing all mounts, I'm just curious how this one mounts up (hah! pun) against the other motor mounts on the market.

Also RuSSo, did you get in the tranny bushings yet? If you have the TTR mount and the Prothane bushings it should eliminate most all wheel hop. (some roads will yeild different results that others)
Prothane tranny bushings are a must for maximum performance.

The Ingalls will not fit over the TTR mount, you dont need both.

p.s Motor Mount look sweet in there. I hope with the trans bushings it kills some wheel hop.
+ rep for TTR
