pcartwright Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 Hi all, I am wondering if anyone has replaced their engine mounts with hockey pucks? if so, how does it change the feel of the car and how many pucks did you use I use my 350z 95% of the time on the track so I dont mind some extra noise in the car.

evilscorp Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 Fortunately I play hockey so have a few spare, plan to make up a gearbox mount for my 200sx cd00* gearbox swap. The hardness rating of a puck is 92 I think and standard engine mounts are 60ish while race mounts go between 80-100 so its well setup for being quite responsive. As for fitting there was a guy on youtube who done some on his trans and engine that was quite good to watch(not a 350z). I will have a look at my spare oem engine mounts to see what might need done and how many pucks might be needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I currently have a box of 10x pucks, with 10mm hole in center ready to go!! My main concern with the pucks is the amount of heat that the engine and exhaust manifolds give off and how long the pucks would last before cracking/splitting. I have read other cars such as rx7, s13 having hockey puck engine mounts for several years and no issues. Peter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evilscorp Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 They are cured/made at 150C so should be good as they would probably only deal with half that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
