I has wondering if anyone has found stronger motor mounts for the xb. i have approx 1300 miles since the blower was installed and 1100 miles since i installed the wepon r engine dampiner. I have alreardy wasted the internal bushing in the dampiner and it pop just getting on and off the throttle. The motor jumps around way to much even when the dampiner was good. It makes the header and cat joint pop under hard accleration. Any help is appreiatied i love this xb not and would like to keep going with the mods but only if i can keep the motor ancored down.

 

I dont know that there is a big enough demand for stronger motor mounts, it would be nice if they made some. But it might be possible for you to do what the tC peeps are doing and fill your exsiting ones with eurathane to make them stronger. Just an idea, if you happen to find some aftermarket ones, please pass the info on.

 

I have the same problem under hard acceleration. The turbo actually swings back and hits the line behind it. Its really annoying. What I will do is fill the rear mount...possibly the sides also with urethane.

 

Weapon-r engine damper will do the trick especially for you F/I guys making more power.

 

Notice in the second sentence of TYRE_BOX's post that he already has a demper installed.

 

There aren't any complete motor mounts available for any Scion as of yet, but what you can do, is get some liquid urethane with a higher tenstile strength (about 80), apply that to around the rubber in the motor mount, and that will stiffen it up.

This is what many people do on cars in which urethane mounts aren't available.

 

here's a DIY on a CB7 (90-93 Accord), same process, just you have different mounts.

i've heard of vw guys using hockey pucks..not sure if it'll work here

 

I'd be worried about it slipping out, not to mention hockey pucks crack.

 

i have never seen a hockey puck crack and w/ all the hockey my dad, sister, and i have played and/or ref, we would have seen it

here are puck motor mounts...unless totyota uses a different way to mount an engine, this should do the trick

Our motor mounts are different than those, so that wont work. Here is the DIY I wrote: http://raceprecision.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=11
It will take you a few minutes and cost you $20 or less.

 

I would wait Ingalls engineering is in R&D with a Stiffy for the Xb. The reason your weapon r dampner wasnt working well is the place the bracket mounts is very thin steal and the dampner cant control the metal from bending. Ingalls is working on a solution for a SOLID mounting point. The Ingalls dampner will work. We have several TC's almost at the 250-300hp mark with little to no wheel hop. All these guys are using is The Stiffy engine dampner from Ingalls. PM Joe or Paul Dezod and ask what they think of the Stiffy from Ingalls!

 

LoL, I was just wondering if you ever posted in the xB forums and low and behold you did... Keep us updated on the Ingalls for the xB ,when you know somthing. I have seen the sucess the tC guys have had and I dont think my weapon R is going to hold to my abuse of it. Thanks....

 

I will do my best to keep everyone updated on the status of the dampner. I promise you will see results similar to the Tc if not better due to lower torque numbers and traction control aids that the Xb/Xa have
