The Turn2 Mount/stock mount, is not an actual
motor mount, but a motor dampener. The stock
mount is designed to absorb engine movement
and vibrations giving the car a smoother feel.
Consequently, the stock mount is made of a
soft rubber that is easily compressed allowing
the motor to move side to side causing
inconsistent shifting and less power transfer
to the wheels. The TURN 2 Mount is a pair of
highly durable urethane bushings that replace
the soft rubber damper. The stiffer urethane
bushing eliminate the motor travel, smoothes
shifting, and allows the engines power to
actually get to the wheels. In my case, the
TURN 2 Mount did not transfer any additional
vibrations to the cockpit. It did however give
much better throttle response and slightly
smoother shifting due to the lack of engine
movement. This is one of the best priced
performance upgrades available on the market.
For a retail price of $50 US and a 5min
install (4Cylinder), or $65 US and 5min
install (6Cylinder).

Installation is simple. For 6 cylinder cars
you will need a 10mm socket and a 8mm Allen
wrench. If you look under the front of your
car, towards the center about 6" behind
the chin spoiler you will see a metal cup held
by (3) 10mm nuts. Remove the (3) nuts and
lower the metal cup. Now you will see a round
black piece of rubber with a Allen head bolt
screwed through the center of it. This is your
factory motor mount (see above left). Remove
the Allen head bolt and pull the mount down
and out of the vehicle. Next take the Turn 2
mount and position it (as above right). Place
it into the recess the factory mount came out
of and screw it down with the Allen head bolt.
You may find it easiest to place one of the
poly mounts and aluminum plate into the recess
and fasten rather than holding onto the second
poly as it never gets bolted down. Place the
other poly in the cup you removed and place it
back over the exposed bolts. Fasten with the
(3) nuts and you are done. This entire process
can be performed with out jacking up the front
of the vehicle. |
