They look even better in person, looking at the pictures and then the real thing, doesn't even compare. They are awesome looking.

Now how are the differences between these mounts and the Prothane/ RKsport mounts and inserts. I have the mount and insert in my car and it will rattle my teeth out at idle. Are these alot smoother?

Vincent Morris (active memeber on this forum) tested this for months and he stated the vibs are MUCH MUCH less than the RK Sport and Prothane, after this breaks in (500 miles or so) He had the RK Sport/Prothane prior and loves this mount...

Larry, I had the same set-up as you and it shook like crazy at idle, cruising was smooth though. I replaced the stock mount with insert with the TTR mount and it did reduce the amount of vibrations/shaking. According to all the previous posts about the lower mount, it should significantly reduce the amount of vibrations(the reason for the oval shaped bushings). I plan on getting one,as soon as the funds come available.

As for the shaking/vibrations, an automatic transmission is going to have more, due to the load that the fluid sheering that occurs in the torque converter ( there isn't a load placed on a manual tranny in neutral or clutched in). Turn the A/C on and it imparts a higher load, creating more vibes. This usually isn't a problem with stock motors(which don't have as many vibes) and mounts(which are more flexible, to absorb the vibes). It's when you add the solid/stiffer mounts and start modifying the motor that it becomes noticeable. A warm motor and hot weather will affect the amount of vibes a motor creates also. Just imagine what I go through here in Florida during the summer months with the A/C on and the mods I've done to my motor (which create a slight lope at idle, even in cooler weather).

The TTR upper and lower mounts should be much better than the RK Sport mount and insert, but I doubt it will ever be as smooth as stock, with any aftermarket mounts. That's the price you have to pay for the improved torque transfer, control and responsiveness you get from the stiffer mounts. If you have the 4sp/4T40E, the transmission mounts will help also, by holding the other end of the motor and tranny steady. Also, if your motor is modified, raising the idle rpm can help.

That was the other thing I was wondering. Is there anyway other than HP tuners that I could raise the idle to say 900RPM? I noticed when I raise the idle up there it goes away for the most part.

jw thats all.

hp tuners is kinda a saving grace for the mounts , no matter whos mounts they are

each car takes to mounts differently , in my s/c'd 00 cav the insert gave me a bad vib range at idle 600 to roughly 1000 , when i put the ttr upper mount in , that range dropped to a 200 rpm spread

and a quick idle rpm change , dropped it to 100 or less


aaron and turbo tech have done us all a great service at getting us high quality , and better products , he steped up where mark pain left off , and got us alot better options , and saved us some in dental bills , LOL


i liked the old rk and prothane stuff , they are inexpensive and work good , do the job they were made for and dont fail , aaron took the leap and gave us better

^^ Continuous improvement is what we call it

Last part on the list is the Auto Tranny mount, which still is getting designed (I should say about ready to be tested, as it is getting coated now)....

We will then carry EVERY SINGLE Engine/Tranny mount for the Cavalier/Sunfire from 1995-05 It is a long process but we see light very soon at the end of the tunnel. This has been a goal of ours for 2 years.

Please keep this on topic, however I just wanted to let that out about the progress on the mounts.

There is not one scheduled right now, there is not much room for improvement as the price to manufacture these are higher than we thought, however we will not raise the price.

Even though I don't drive the Cavy anymore, I'm still getting the mount.
My car is in storage but could still benefit from this mount.
Hmmmm, let's see, a red body with blue inserts would match the upper mount.
Aaron, thank you very much for what you do.

^^ Thanks to everyone for the great support.

Also, we added a "Flat Black" powder coat to the system. Also, we have improved the silver color to a better Silver Metalic color, which matches the silver cars better. We are always trying to make things even better

Aaron, get me a address and ill put that write up on a jump drive or CD or something so that i can get it to you. i tried a bunch of times and cant get it to shrink at all because of the pictures.

As for the mount, it is lighter, this one weighs only 1.5 lbs with the bushings in the mount. it does vibe less than the RK Sport. The mount is excellent and it is somewhat visible from the side. i recommend this mount over the prothane/RK.

Ill get some pics up this weekend. The car feels great. NO VIBES. These are my first mounts so i dont really have anything to compare to. I also installed the upper mount at the same time. The engine barely rocks. The car feels alot stronger. Now i just need to get one for my eco!!

Thanks Aaron for all your help!!


Should be putting on the clutch and flywheel some time in the next couple weeks!!

Aaron, any chance on a GP in the next couple weeks?


Re: Turbo Tech Racing Lower Engine Mount Now Shipping Many Pics

^^ There is no scheduled GP on these for some time, as they are more expensive to manufacture than we though, if anything this would be a GP Price as the price looks like it will be going up.
