Geno750 Posted April 5, 2015 Author 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? I hope to have the answer to that question soon. I've been waiting on the 1JZ to 350z transmission adapter I ordered so I can place the engine in the car with the trans.

makaofox Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 I don't have measurements but the cx racing doesn't set the motor as low or far back because it is using the stock mount locations. The lowest and furthest you could have brought was from beta motorsport. But cx racing isn't far off it wouldn't take much to push back and lower if you needed too.

superduner Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 Will be pretty dope if we get some VVTI 2jz 240z mounts and R154 5-speed trans. Will be getting my swap soon so mounts will be needed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1J240Z Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 I have the beta motor sport weld in mounts. I make them on the side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drift Boss Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 I used cxracing. I just cut the own mount plates off the subframe, relocated them back where I wanted engine. Very simple. He is very right on the bolts. I currently have what I had in my garage thrown in. I need to run to ace hardware. As far as mounting to frame rail. I seen that go bad. Very bad.

jacob80 Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 Bump - anyone know what the beta motorsports mounts look like? Getting ready to fab my own at this point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diz9 Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 (edited) my actual 2JZ mount project. The idea is to have already part of the mount on the frame and on the subframe. More info here : https://www.facebook.com/JcDatsun240z/ I use 4mm MDF to create prototype The engine mount rubber is from a Range Rover Edited May 24, 2016 by diz9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUSSJZ-ZED Posted May 30, 2016 Share Posted May 30, 2016 ^^smart way to mount the engine to the rails. don't weld in place till you find out if the shifter will locate in the factory hole .slide them along till it fits. Jaguar V12 mounts are much stronger/better insulation than the range Rover, only a couple of MM thicker, 20mm bigger diameter, and only about $15 more expensive.

diz9 Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 The engine is really close to the firewall I have good clearance for the shifter but probably extend it for about 2 or 3 cm Thanks for information about the jaguar mount ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUSSJZ-ZED Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 As long as you have a "finger" clearance, you wont have contact problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diz9 Posted June 4, 2016 Share Posted June 4, 2016 (edited) As long as you have a "finger" clearance, you wont have contact problems.Yes 1 finger or more depending on size The gap is already ok for gearbox remove without complete engine remove...

RUSSJZ-ZED Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 these look different, can't seem to post links but if you put "Supra engine mounts Silver project" into ebay, should bring them up Solid, urethane,(but not cheap.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diz9 Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 not a big fan with Solid mount... to much vibration for me... I have some solid bushing but wants more confortable option Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geno750 Posted July 27, 2016 Author Share Posted July 27, 2016 not a big fan with Solid mount... to much vibration for me... I have some solid bushing but wants more confortable option Solid mounts on an inline 4, definitely. I've found that a smooth running JZ engine, even with solid mounts vibrates the car less than a urethane mounted inline 4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUSSJZ-ZED Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 (edited) ^^^ smooth running could be the key. Solid, as in, aluminium -or solid, as in, not silicone filled? I've used the solid (rubber) v12 Jaguar mounts on; a 260Z with 1J turbo, 928 porsche with 3uz V8 300zx TT- factory engine, (but modified the mounts due to ridiculous cost of factory mounts filled with silicone gloop) two TR8s (3.5 litre and 4.6) Never experienced anything even resembling a slight ( out of place) vibration Edited July 28, 2016 by RUSSJZ-ZED Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
