engine mounts.

would i benefit upgrading them?, or be better getting a engine damper, thanks

[AdamH]

upgrading will reduce engine movement. Are yours worn? broken? engine moves a lot?

tbh if its standard and they are find I wouldn't bother.. or even a set of new standard ones will be an improvement over older worn ones..

But unless its a tuned with bodies / turbo / charger or even running some decent high lift cams I wouldn't bother as the engine/gearbox wont be stressed enough to get full potential.

Saying that though, they do make it feel more responsive and better gear changes due to less movement, but on a standard / mild tuned engine personally wouldn't bother.

well im turboing my saxo so was wondering best way to go?

[jamie1994]

I wouldnt bother upgrading them yet and would do it when you put the turbo on so do it at the same time. you putting a dump valve on?

[Silk]

well im doing the turbo now(have a progress thread) so thinking ahead, yes have a bailey's :y:

Yes its worth upgrading can be pricey however for the two upper ones from some brands. uprated lower mount bush is a good cost conscious buy

[Silk]

ok mate thanks, you recommend any?

[Gandi699]

I use the purple powerflexes on my cars but you can get different ones such as group n or group A ones that are literally solid

[Silk]

ok mate, could you explain the group thing?

Group N are harder uprated rubber/metal mounts.

Group A are solid mounts.

I got Baker Group N on order hopefully they will turn up soon.

If going boost that will be the least of your worrys ;)

+1 on engine mounts.

They transform the car IMO.

Vibratechnics ECU + BOX with powerflex lower mount. - Minor vibrations..

[Prickle]

"minor vibrations" lol

You get them just with a Powerflex lower mount and 2 OE engine mounts. I bet its more then "minor" with the stiffer ecu. gbox..
