thats what i was thinking... just box it. the renny may not make great power but i am gonna try!

 

Can you box it and make it fit???

I broke one of those stock mounts hitting a hole in the road to hard sooooo?

 

I think you guys should just go with the simple race roots solid motor mounts.....

 

^ most likely still in the way with that crap too

 

Those suck *** mounts wouldn't work either. Not to mention I would never buy anything from them either.

 

I would have to see the RR parts mounted. but the Turblown part only replaces the stock cast on the engine part not the rubber dampener part.

yikes

 

IMO, it needs the 3rd leg attached to the middle of the block, otherwise it puts all the stress on the two bolts that go into the bottom of the housings. But I'm no engineer so..............

 

Wholly huge picture! no it will not even come close to fitting.

 

I copied it to my flickr and reduced it

 

Turblowns mount is the same, it too only has the two bolts attached.

the only difference I see here is the arm that extrudes from the engine mount is attached to the top, where turblowns is attached to the bottom.

and then there is the material, turblowns part looks aluminum, RR's is Steel.

 

Yeah they are both crap mounts but the RR is welded better. I still would not risk running either. Turblown's second version is pieces of steel welded together.

I just don't get how you can be so talented at welding a manifold together and then turn around and make that shitty of an engine mount bracket. It's like he let some high school shop class come up with the engine mount bracket as a class project and this one was the best one.

 

Just joking with you, I'm sure your set up will make some great power once completed/tuned.

Have to spoke to Elliot about the mount?

 

Wow, I would have thought Elliot would have improved the mount's look by now. but hell it's under the car.

I showed the "2.0" design to one of the snubber engineers and his quip was that looks sound. Albeit a little rough.
Boxing the sides would give it some additional lateral strengh.

 

Those popsicle sticks look like they are glued together really well. Whose kid's project is it? Did they get a good grade?

 

A little rough? Hopefully the bolt holes even line up, they appear to be off in the second pic I posted.

 

wow, great pics guys. the V1 looks like the type of work I'd pull off if I ever tried to weld.

 

he was being nice. btw the tab that sits on top of the motor mount may eventually bend. what thickness bar stock is your piece of artwork built out of?

 

The whole point is to make room for a turbo kit that was never intended to fit in the area

it might be sound, but it looks like a metal dog took a big dookey


.

 

i do not disagree.

 

The steel on the part is 1/4 inch thick.

 

Just got off the phone with TB, the mount is going back to him. It will be boxed proper. Also fex-ex sucks to deal with on insurance claims.

 

I wonder what the next version will look like.

 

I am curious to see. He had me send my mount back as well, along with other parts to resolve the underbrace and plumbing around the battery. He received my parts on 8/2 and estimated 4 weeks turnaround.
