Aftermarket Engine Mounts

[S.Pellegrino]

Hello Chaps

I am helping a friend source some new Engine Mounts for his decade old 1.8T Big Turbo setup after the first revision BFI mounts gave up. See pic below

Of course, there are other brands nowadays but the main ones we're looking at are;

034 Motorsport
BFI
Vibra Technics

My friends setup is 400whp and around 400wtq. He's looking for something that'll last for years to come. Vibration is not an issue.

So far we're looking at;

034 Motorsport Track Sport Engine/Transmission mount (harder than the Street Sport version)

BFI Stage 2 Engine Mounts (Green version)

Vibra Technics Engine Mounts Road Version

Any recommendations on what we should go for? Anyone know about Vibra Technics?

I've been doing a little bit of reading on Vibra Technics and they seem to be a decent and good brand! But I've never heard of them before so please bear with me.

What do the modified guys and high HP guys run?

They're all more or less in the same price range.

All input is appreciated

Cheers

What do you use on your own setup if I may know? Or still on stock mounts?

Stock aftermarket meyle and a powerflex dogbone but I am naturally aspirated.

Vibratechnics all the way, they are the go to for the majority of us here in the UK.

I’m running them in my big turbo build, you don’t notice any obvious vibrations and they’ll handle big torquey engines no problem.

As MPH mentioned with the dogbone, yellow powerflex is the usual one to go for, I’ve got a ECS dogbone mount which seems to be holding up pretty well, only reason I’m using it is because came off a donor car of mine. However before that, powerflex yellow.

Yeah sorry, Road version bud. You don’t want to be running solid mounts if I’m honest.
