Vtt engine mount plates
Anyone running these? How bad is nvh? Did you have your idle raised through tune? Time has come to do engine mounts and wondering if this is too harsh or not. Otherwise I'll just stick to fresh oem.

Solid engine mounts??? I would say race only, and bet the NVH is terrible. My pick would be stockers from FCP.

I hear they're less harsh than poly mounts but there's not a lot of info out there. I know there's some high power guys here and wanted to see if anyone had experience with them. |

I'm also wondering if there is excessive NVH when the AC turned on.

This is subjective, of course, but I would rate the vibration increase as follows: +0 Stock +0 VTT | Driving over 1000RPM | AC off +2 VTT | 900 RPM Idle | AC off +2.1 VTT | 900 RPM Idle | AC On (Max AC had no additional impact) +8 VTT | Stock Idle | AC off | Idle after first drive +10 VTT | Stock Idle | AC off | Idle before first drive In short, at stock idle, I would have removed them. |

Hmmm that's basically what one n54 guy said, said his poly was far worse and pretty rough through the rev range, which is dependent on durometer obviously, as my e36 was on 95a and wasn't bad whatsoever.
So this seems once you get passed the idle situation you get the benefits. Hmmm I'm glad to see someone chime in on these, there's just such limited info |

This really isn't a DD type of mod, but more for bulletproofing for higher power levels.

Nearly all the insulating properties are lost by installing the inserts, at the cost of having a stronger engine mount. Not needed for street vehicles, unless you want the to shake the fillings out of your teeth.
