So this is what I came up with the mount. Looks absurd but maybe steel pipes( 2 on each side ) and longer bolts will do?

Any comments/suggestions on this mounting?

Bracket/spacer design LOL

Hmmm. Tranny xmember is far from ideal. I would recommend building a new xmember over spacing that one to such an extreme. Engine looks great in there though!

It will take a while... I take too much snack breaks

Still working on it. I wish I have access to machinery so i can build my own crossmember.

Took off the factory PS cooler and relocated it in front of the condenser.

It should be fine in front of the condenser, right?





And now i have more space!!!

Question guys... What are the pros and cons of a solid transmission mount?

I know for sure that it will make vibrations.

Don't do it. You can actually crack the tail shaft housing if you run a solid mount.

Okay, done deal. Thanks man.

This I also did not know. Thanks, stockhatch! Is the same true of solid engine mounts? I have never understood that rationale.

I am going to install the Tial 44 and It came with all springs.

At what PSI ( springs ) do you suggest for 550cc/single turbo/piggyback aiming for maybe 400rwhp? 10-12 PSI?

I plan to run a 10psi spring. I figure after pressure drop across the intercooler, te intake may actually see around 9. Maybe an expert will chime in, but I hear springs are generally good for double their rating when using a boost controller. You may want to go for 10 like you said.

I should clarify that a little bit. If you run dampened engine mounts, and a solid tranny mount, you can crack the tailshaft because the engine movement ends up twisting the tailshaft. If you run solid mounts all around, you should not have that issue theoretically, but the NVH is TERRIBLE with solid mounts in my experience. Even running the encased supra mounts makes the engine noticeably harsher over the lexus rubber, but I still run them since they are bulletproof.
