i hear of guys filling their motor mounts, what do they mean by this?

 

Probably talking about polyurethane inserts. They are inserted into the mounts and it helps with wheel hop among other things.

 

does anyone know where a how-to is on this, because i have very bad wheel hop

 

buy an aftermarket motor mount. i dont know about our maximas but mah boy just upgraded his motormounts on his 1.8T jetta and it improved ALOTTTTTTTT.......... he got EIP tuning motor mounts

 

ditto on that. Lots of wheel hop when slick out

 

what is wheel hop exactly???

 

when you floor the car.. and it kinda peels off and the wheels jump

 

oh, nm, not what i thought it was

 

I just installed Energy Suspension motor mounts I bought from Cattman. They are solid polyurethane inserts. I haven't taken the car to the strip yet to see how they work though. In driving on the street my shifts seem more solid when letting out the cutch. They transfer more vibration from the motor to the cabin but it's only noticeable at idle. I'll probobly hit the strip this weekend or next. Then I'll know for sure if they help wheel hop.

 

isnt there another mount sold that is for lateral movement? I heard someone talking about it. It doesnt support the weight of the engine but controls the rotation of it. THanks
