24v swap engine mounts

[lordofmpower]

so did you use the IE m42 or e28 mounts? or are they exactly the same?

IE E28 535 mounts are what i have, can't speak fitment to the M42 units

I really cant see these ever needing replacement with any NA M/S50 motor. They are really really big mounts I was suprised and worried if they would fit or not, but no worries. + i have billet aluminum tranny mounts on a super beefy tranny brace i welded up and its not goign anywhere either. somehow the car stilll doesn't vibrate to bad. I couldn't be happier with them but then again I daily drive the car on Jstocks and Jstock evo billys so i am biased when is comes to stiff and comfort


now when I finish the other motor i have on the stand... ehh motor mounts won't be the only thing breaking

Timely post, and thanks for the info lordofmpower - I've been looking for a stiffer and hopefully more durable version of the e28 green mounts before doing my swap, after a couple people reported their green mounts needing replacement after 1-2 years.

Charlie, I have those mounts in my swapped car and they fit fine. IE makes them, thats where Car gets them I would source them from IE. They are uber stiff hit me up with any questions

[asubimmer]

good to know, thanks

will it fit w/ the obdII manifolds w/out washers?

Manifolds aren't the issue, the downpipes are. I seem to remember that OBDI will fit with no washers, but you'll have to jack up the motor to install the downpipes.

Oh, so you guys aren't using extra washers with the green mounts to raise them?

I am not using any washers to raise the engine. But I might be tomorrow!

Installing headers in the morning and I can't see how they are ever going to fit if I don't.

Oh, I forgot to mention that. Yes, I am.

Nope. I should be done with my part next week, I think.

:up:

I have the stock green e28 M5 mounts in my turbocharged e28 M5. 3.8 liters, coil-on-plug, Schrick cam, 12 injectors, TEC3 6/12, Quaife rear.

The engine mounts have never failed.

And they are cheap.

Why would you want anything else?

You sir are smart, oem ftmfw

I have never had a problem with the green ones, I installed them as stock and they fit great. No cutting, no notching, no grinding off tabs.
