Engine mount testing....
Interested, pending the price point.
As you say, simple bracket + using bushings from other parts should keep costs pretty competitive.
RS needs some new engine mounts. I'm thinking I can donate the WRX's ones.
d0000000000000000ds....i need me sum of these
There's substantially less material here than the group-n, OEM, etc pieces.
What are your thoughts on the longevity of these pieces?
UMI Performance makes mounts similar to these for the 1st gen CTS-V. And before they started making these, a guy on cadillacforums.com made some that were basically the same thing. I don't know how many sets of them he sold, or how many UMI has sold, but I have yet to see anyone post of an issue with them.
And if there is an issue, it should be pretty easy to pull out one side at a time and replace the bushings.
But why have it lead to needing a bushing replaced?
Say wuh? Patrick Olsen
I'd be ALL OVER these if you made them... I've been slacking horribly at getting some Group-Ns, and these would be my choice they were available.
This is awesome, I have always wondered when someone would come out with a simple, low cost engine mount replacement. Can't wait to see the production version!
Interesting. Kind of like the WRC mounts- sure will make changing a clutch easier, and should fit the BRZ too. I'd test some.

There is a purpose to this, and I expect to be able to link video soon. We threw some prototype parts into a car tonight, but for information that others may find interesting:
Motion of engine at startup 0.65".
Test engine mounts from MAW with soft bushings installed
Kartboy pitch stop Motion of engine at startup 0.35".
Surprisingly not harsh. Can you feel it? Yes. Is it obnoxious? No.
As I said video is forthcoming. Oh, and I have some pics too.
So you guys wait until after I find a new job and no longer design and manufacture engine mounts to start making/testing engine mounts?! I could have been useful.
Now I'll have to wait until you guys decide to produce an active rear differential so I can develop the software and calibrate it for you.
I think that's a hint! Counterfit
wait.... what? you and I need to talk.
I too would be all over these, especially if cost is comparable to groupN. I would rather support you guys!
and what the hell I haven't gotten a set of these in the mail yet.
PM me, email me, shoot me a message on FB, or call if you guys still have my number lying around somewhere.
You haven't gotten any because you spend more time on a bicycle than in a Subaru. Bicycles don't use engine mounts Scooby921
You should test the msi solid mount movement for ****s and giggles. Those ones are pretty simple though for a bushinged mount. Not go out and make a less complicated trans mount.
That's on the to-do list as MSI would like for us to test it as well. Time is the factor on this though. we've been pretty busy. Last I checked we have 8 engines in the queue, and a new one showed up this afternoon.
If you need to have someone test these in an SVX let me know. dragoontwo
Any Progress on these??
