Geno750 Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 It seems our niche market was big enough for the guys at cx racing as they're making mounts for this swap. I bought a set, and will update my progress here. I can't comment on their trans mount as I'm using a 350z gearbox with my 1J. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beanstatus91 Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 lets us know. I'm about to start my project here shortly. and need mounts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geno750 Posted February 28, 2015 Author Share Posted February 28, 2015 Mounts arrived today, but it's 6F outside. Only pics I'll have later today will be of the mounts on the block. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
makaofox Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 I purchased them 2ish months ago. I like some of it and hate some of it. So im gonna keep the part that mounts to our oem mounts and ditch the part that actually goes onto the 2jz black and make my own. I brought them as a template I guess I didn't really expect much from cxracing. But for $200 or $300 im not that mad since im using half the kit. The issue is the part that connects from the block to the actual mount, it has too much movement for my comfort and doesn't seem strong enough for anything more than 300 hp.

I can already tell I don't like the bolts it came with, but that's an easy fix. I'd have pictures and more details but my 2mo old got rsv, and I've been with her in the nicu since. I do like how the mount connects to the crossmember though. I wasn't keen on the 550lb motor sitting on my cars 38 year old frame rails.

Mycarispurty Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 I'm going to keep an eye on this post. Have been considering the CX Racing mount kit for an RB25 swap, but if I can't find someone to buy my 1JZ/R154 or trade it for an RB25, then I always have the option of waiting for these mounts to come out, or use Freed Engineering's mounts for installing my 1JZ.

makaofox Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 Id just go custom. Try and find someone that is willing to make mounts for you. I have a friend that made his mounts and was willing to make mine, but I found out AFTER I brought the cx racing mounts. Im still going to have him make my mounts even if I have the cx racing ones lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

makaofox Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 Here are some pics of the mounts I have collected. You can see the part I like is the mount connecting to the oe location. the part I don't like is the part connecting to the block, which I may modify.

makaofox Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 I like how this guy made his mounts. His thread is on here and is recent. Take a look at his album it is AMAZING. You will not be disappointed. 2jzge-t with lots of amazing fab work. These mounts are very simple but go on directly to the chassis, as opposed to oe mount location.

Nelsonian Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 ^^^ Like those custom mounts. I am curious as to no one mentioning Tech2 motorsports mounts. I finally pulled the trigger and bought a 2jzgte so will be studying mounting options. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Willoughby Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 tech 2 makes good quality stuff, but I think the price for them as opposed to CX Racing or doing your own mounts is probably what draws a lot of people away from their items.

Geno750 Posted March 14, 2015 Author Share Posted March 14, 2015 (edited) Sorry to create the thread and then be really slow on updates. First off, you'll likely want to order new bolts to bolt the plates to the motor. Pictured are the stock motor mount bolts with the cx plate. Also, the stock bolts bottom out too soon. The mount bolts are M10x1.25 and a package of 25 25mm bolts from mcmaster is $8 Edited March 14, 2015 by Geno750 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devil280Z Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 I bought the plans for 1j/2j mounts from beta motor sports. I'm deployed right now but when I get back home I will be making some up to sale. Just throwing that out there for those interested. They set the motor back much further than the CX racing kit but they do require some welding. Anyways I will start posting some for sale when I get back home in April, keep an eye out for them.

Nelsonian Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 Devil280z, Thanks for what you are doing all around. Will be looking forward to see what you will have when it's available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devil280Z Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 I sold one already. Have one more already made and plan on making some more here soon. But not much I can do until I get home. Hoping that once I drop my jz motor in I'll get motivated to finish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geno750 Posted March 18, 2015 Author Share Posted March 18, 2015 (edited) More updates, and they should be more frequent from here on out now that I finished unpacking most of my tools. There is surprisingly quite a bit of adjustment possible with these mounts. Just about every hole is slotted, allowing for a total of approx. 2" of adjustment. I'll be removing my L28 from the car over the next few days, but for now here is what the mounts CX is selling look like. One issue I can see with these is the oil return for the turbo. I'm switching manifolds due to my turbo being internally gated. Edited March 18, 2015 by Geno750 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
makaofox Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 That extra adjustment will be an issue with vibration and such. Make sure to use Loctite. Maybe you can route the oil return a certain way? Then wrap it with some heat shielding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for oil return, I'm going to convert to -10an and I think a 45degree fitting will clear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark52cents Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 where does the cx racing mounts place the motor? how low and how far back? how low is to low? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
