VWR / Vibratechnics 'Fast Road' Lower Engine Mount - Review....

<< < (25/29) > >>

MAT ED30:
Did i say they did make it  :confused: I said they worked with vt to develop the mounts for the race cars

rex:
I am about to install a VWR lower engine mount.
Can someone please tell me the torque I have to tighten the big, center bolt?
Thanks!

rex:
Found it and maybe you guys are interested:

M14  x 1.5 x 70
100 Nm + 90 degrees further
Do not tighten until pendulum support is bolted to gearbox
Always renew after removing.

I mounted a similar VWR mount and I can tell you that the difference is clearly noticeable





First of all the exhaust has a different sound (it is not only me some other people noticed also). It is sportier and more aggressive.
Than I can tell you I feel that the engine + gearbox are not moving when accelerating or releasing the gas pedal. I like this a lot. The car feels much much better.
The only downside is that at 1500 RPM some engine vibration is transmitted in the cabin (similar to diesel engines at very low RPM) so I have to avoid 1500 RPM.
This is, in my opinion a great mod!

Ah the new VWR lower mount that's not made by Vibratechnics.  The reason you have the vibration is because its made of polyurethane rather than rubber.  I have the Vibratechnics mount and no vibration.
