Can anyone recommend some good engine mounts for my GA16de engine (91-94) Sentra. The originals allow too much engine movement and it keeps breaking the a/c line at the front of the engine. I noticed the extra movement since I did some headwork and put on some headers and upgraded the exhaust to 2" with freeflow exhaust, I guess its the extra power available now. So i'm looking for the solid mounts which are polyurethane (I think), these should limit movement somewhat, who sells them and which brand would you guy recommend using, easy installation, good quality etc.....thanks guys.

Energy suspension makes a complete motor mount replacement/insert kit which will decrease engine movement. It will increase noise and vibration into the passenger compartment.

I bought the energy suspension motor mount inserts, and they work great at stopping unwarrented movement of your engine, however they require some trimming to fit. Mine work great, however, you will notice much more vibration at idle.

Yeah I put the ES mounts/inserts in recently(all of them not just the torque mounts) and I get some pretty mean vibration at idle. It's not too bad at other times, but it is fairly annoying at idle.

I just ordered solid mounts from lightningmotorsports. They're Prothane - part # 14-1901.

Scroll down to the bottom.

$41.95. This is what SR20Development sells for $100 +, IIRC.
I don't remember how much I got mine for because I bought them with the tranny but I think it was 150... he gave me new mounts and pressed them in for me the same day too, so not bad for me I guess...

thanks for info guys

thanks for the info guys, I think i'll go with the mounts from lighting motorsports that james recommended, but the kits comes with 4 mounts....???? my ga only has 3 mounts ???? what gives .....and how does the installation go? do i have to physically remove the old original inserts and then have the new ones pressed in ??? oh and when ordering I have to specify that I have an automatic transmission or does it fit on either manual or automatic. Thanks again guys
