ZPIracing

ZPIracing is proud to announce the Pre-release of there now motor mount kit for the Scion tC. These will be a full polyurethane mount insert that will result in 75% less travel of the engine under acceleration. Keeping it polyurethane also will allow the mount to absorb the vibration at idle to keep the cabin rattle free.

This is a must have for you turbo and supercharged cars while great results will be seen in the N/A cars with bolt on modifications to stock platforms. This will eliminate the dreaded tire hope that is commonly found in the tC platform.

We said that we where not going to do a pre-order after the turbo kits but we found ourselves in a position where we need to. We had to order an initial 1000 mounts to have these made to our design. So to make sure that we are not stuck with all of these at time of arrival we will make some pre-order pricing to help take some of the excessive inventory right off the bat.

We are promised delivery January 15th so we are going to promise delivery to you February 15th as we see no reason as to why there will be any delay but nothing exceeding 30 days. All of these will ship together no batches as we will take delivery on them at one time.

We will offer these at a pre-order price of $95 and a retail price of $165.00

What's the hardness on these? RAAMaudio went aroun 80+ poly on his front and had some major vibrations.,,, I'm interested, as I was going to mold myself some... as I hate hop...

What Shore A Hardness is the poly?

Thanks, Interesting and about time they came out.... no more dampeners.... fix it the right way!

tikbhoy

Im interested , can you post pics ?

hahaitzskippy

yes yes need more info

Exactly

DuMa

you want my next paycheck very badly dont you.

So what are the pros and cons of using motor mounts versus an engine dampner? If both eliminate hop and engine movement, is the main difference that motor mounts are more permanent?

WeDriveScions

It's about where the weight is and how the engine moves on it's pivot points... the dampener fixes with problem of the wimpy oem mounts, the mounts fix the real problem... the mounts themselves.

Not the real stock one but a motor mount:

hmm so this will compliment the damper.....nice.

Nice, that is exactly what I have on my tc but I have it in the back mount.

I'm pretty new to this so does this actually compliment a dampner or replace the need for a dampner altogether?

rcruz2525

Well the motor mounts are design to suppress engine vibrations. That is why you don’t feel the engine inside the car. By adding a damper you will be helping the stock motor mounts. This is a good thing, now went the engine generates more power (turbo, s/c) and usually people add a superior clutch and/or pressure plate, the motor vibrations become stronger or the motor will jerk to the point that can cause what is call engine hope or tire hope and will actually destroy the stock motor mounts with in time. That is why the damper was invented and it is the easies way to reduce motor vibrations but is not the best way. The best way will be by replacing the motor mount like the one ZPIracing is selling. The only think to take in consideration is the material in which the mounts are made off, some are so hard that the vibrations inside the car become uncomfortable and are not desirable at all. Also remember that most cars have 4 motor mount and the motor jerk from one site the other. I hope this can help.

How easy is an install?

No good if' they are $95 to buy but need the entire engine lifting and will cost $600 to install.

Also, what are the downsides? What parts 'could' this cause to fail (according to Toyota in 2 years that is?)

Typhoon

Install it yourself, we ve installed mounts on 2 cars not hard at all, we did have to lift the engine but thats no biggie. Good job to zpi btw I trust zpi more and more after they keep releasing products for the tc.

xavier

I might have to get in on this

Limey

Lifting the engine is no biggie? Scale of 10, 10 being a clutch change, 1 being an oil change.

IAmTheProdigy

So not to beat a dead horse, but if I purchase these in addition to my engine dampner, that would be a little overkill? And like Limey asked, what are the downsides?

bump for more info on install.
