i'll try and look up the invoice from the ones my partner bought to replace his sc300 mounts that were blown. i'm using those in my car right now. perfect fit and stiffer/shorter than stock. still needed to widen the hole in the subframe though, but it is almost like it was meant to be.. double layered metal in that area and the outer layer is already the right size.. just have to drill/port the hole a bit on the inner layer. self-explanatory when you are looking at it.

 

This is my engine and you can see the TRD motor mount. This is too long and will make the engine sit high in the engine bay. This will also cause the alignment of your tranny and drive shaft to be in the wrong angles.

With this mount, to fit it correctly on the USDM JZS147 engine mount brackets you will need to remove the alighment nipple on both ends. You'll have to enlarge the mount hole to 9/16.

We've already gone through mockup fitting and determined the correct mounts. I still have mine and saving it for another project.


another pic with the right mount to follow..

 

Look carefully and you will see the smaller mount. This is the right height and same as the OEM rubberized hydrlic fluid filled mounts that make prevents transmission of engine vibration. It also keeps the tranny and driveshaft aligned.

 

yes, mine look like the second pic, but were about 5mm shorter in height than the stock gs300 mount, and that was without the metal shield on it.

thanks for the pics.. killer setup you have going there. is your car at SP?

 

I'm old school racer so big iron blocks and big blowers is where I come from. Then three years ago I discovered the MKIV and the power they are making with the 2JZGE and couldn't believe it and then I took a drive in one and also saw a few races and became a believer the 3.0 displacment was kicking *** and pissing off the old school racers with 500=800hp big blocks.

This was my first induction system and I started to do it on my own and soon realized the expense and also complexity of producing big power from a 3.0L. Also spoke to MKIV owners and heard all the nightmares they went through After adding up all my sunk cost in parts only and getting quotes for custom fabrication I decided to stop and seek help from Elmhurst Toyota first and then Sound Performance. Its definately not a bolt and go. Its all about fuel delivery, timing, boost control and tuning the car so that all the components are at their edge and working succinctly.

Its almost done and we hope to turnover the engine by the end of the month. But its likely going to be delayed because we're going to LasVegas at the end of the month for the races. 2JZ powered cars going 6.5 sec is a sight to see. Hope to get a few passes in before winter hits Illionis and get on the record books. Then during the winter months, I'm taking it to Iowa to get the entire body restored and a rollcage built. Again more $$$$$.

This car has been with me since 12/1994 and now I'm fulfilling a lifes dream to make a supercar. I was going to buy a 911 turbo but when I saw the MKIV toast one I decided to put the money into building one that will blow away factory super cars. (except modded vipers)

that drifting looks fun, I'll have to find a smaller and cheaper car to mod and drift.
