1GGZE rubber engine mount destroyed

[SIKPUPY]

I have finally finished my 1GGZE into a 4runner/hilux conversion, I used the hilux rubber engine mounts and made an adaptor plate so they lined up correctly.

I took the car out for its maiden offroad voyage and completely destroyed the rubber on the drivers side mount. I gave it a hard time to test it out. It just didnt hold. Ended up coming home on the back of a car trailer.......

Anyone have any ideas of what engine mount I could possibly use or modify that are going to be strong and readily available in WA. I used the 4cyl hilux mounts to start with as i thaught they would have more chance holding up to the abuse and bashing around that 4x4ing does but it wasnt the case

I was thinking a holden V8 mount but I think it will be too hard to play with.

What are the dimensions on the 1G stock mounts? can you get a pic?

[ra23celica]

Were you using brand new Hilux rubber mounts or 30 year old jobbies?
If they were old can you not just buy new ones?
I know a mob that can custom make polyurethane mounts if you are interested...

[Dust]

You can get poly urethane mounts from repco I am fairly sure.

[SIKPUPY]

They were brand new

I got 5 hours use out of them before one let go. I was hoping to get something that is alot stronger

the ones I was using have a single stud coming out of them for the block side about 10mm in dia and maybe 50mm thick rubber, the plate that bolts onto the chassis has 2 bolts in it maybe 12mm and about 120mm apart. (I will have to modify them anyway to suit as the bolts dont line up, about 20mm out)

I just want something that is going to handle the torque, maybe poly is worth a try. What else is strong and easily modifyable ??

I have 2 weeks before I get back to my car and want to have all the stuff to do it before I start on it.

Would Something like this work?




I'm thinking that I am going to use these when I drop a 1GGTE into my RA65

Thats about 95.25-107.95mm for the spacing on the baseplate, 49.20mm tall.

or this one

Baseplate spacing is 141.27mm and 66.68mm tall

Yeah it will, where can I get them from ?????

They will be perfect, just need to work out which set I need.

No Problem, those are Energy Suspension GM(the top) and Ford(Bottom one) Transmission Mounts.You can get them for about $20USD pretty much anywhere online.
I plan on using the top one because the hole spacing is just right for the 22RE crossmember and I'm pretty sure the 1G has a single bolt for the motor mount on the motor.

If you use them can you post a pic of them mounted?

Have you thought of using a torque rod? I've never had the need but I know another guy who broke a few mounts. He fitted a steering idler arm as a torque rod and it stopped the problem.

[SIKPUPY]

The ideas are flowing I like the idea of a torque rod, I have a spare one too

I have emailed someone who makes them so I will pass out the details when and if I get a reply, if not, It will be down to the local auto shop with my broken mess and go through all their mounts until I find something that will work

[oldcorollas]

perhaps look at the angles that the force is being fed through the mounts...

[SIKPUPY]

i was thinking

7mg engine mounts... where can I get some without breaking the bank ?

[ICELUX]

Hey I'm putting a 1GGZE in a hilux and I know of a couple of guy's who have put the 1G-GTE in hilux's and what they used was 2 Left hand 3Y hilux engine mounts with a 10mm spacer on the right side...I hope this helps..
