Poly engine mounts

[Beastlee]

Dave, every car I've had has adjusted the idle when the A/C is switched on. This compensates for the additional load imposed whilst running the ancilliary kit. It doesn't jump when the compressor kicks in though, rather it raises the idle level whilst the AC is switched on.

My ICV is screwed but I haven't been bothered to fix it yet, however it still makes a change to the idle when the A/C is on. I must get round to doing mine so I can stop the poor idling when hot.

[phosty]

I should have been more specific - when the AC load is high the idle is adjusted:



Anyway, aren't we getting a bit off topic here?

[Davezj]

which manual are you get you info from?

mine does not change!

you can hear the increased load on the engine and the compressor cutting in and out but it dose not change the idle speed even when the A/C is set to 17 DegC.

maybe it should, but everything works fine for me.

Getting back to poly engine mounts, I feel the A/C pump now when it comes on (with all the mounts fitted), but it is not intrusive, I get no more noise or vibration etc

[Davezj]

big sorry so far i not got round to fitting my engine mounts yet, but it will be very soon and a group buy will follow.

but i don't imagine people will want to do this before christmas so i will let you all know.

Anyone know if the VR4 and V6 mounts are the same?
Thanks.

[peter thomson]

Some of the part numbers are different but that doesn't mean the inserts won't fit.

[Nick Mann]

The Engine mount casting is identical, but the harmonic damper is slightly different. Not sure on the other three.

[c0xxy]

did anything come of this group buy?

[peter thomson]

Nothing further about it. In my opinion they are cheap enough without a GB

[c0xxy]

lol, found the set of four in the other thread. looks a bargain

[peter thomson]

[c0xxy]

the last link for the poly mounts isnt listed anymore.
is this what is meant by inserts or am i on the wrong track?

[Davezj]

yes that is what is ment by inserts.

but don't buy that kit.

[Davezj]

update to this thread.

Here is the link to the VR4 engine mount kit. ignore the picture it is just for show.

1 off kit $93 plus delivery (about $40 per kit)
if we order 10+ sets then the kit is $88 plus delivery (about $18 per kit)

http://www.energysuspensionparts.com...PackageDeal001

this kit contains the following,

Right Upper=13-503 (eclipse V6 00-05)
http://www.energysuspensionparts.com...od=13503-Right

Left Upper=13-509 (eclipse V6 00-05)
http://www.energysuspensionparts.com...asp?prod=13509

Front roll stopper=13-505 (eclipse 90-94)
http://www.energysuspensionparts.com...asp?prod=13505

rear roll stopper=13-508 (eclipse V6 00-05)
http://www.energysuspensionparts.com...asp?prod=13508

the VR4 kit works out at $133.19 delivered. for a 1 off kit. but you will have to pay duty 10% and VAT 17.5%. but you might be lucky and not get charged Duty and VAT.

for 10+ kits it would be $106 each delivered. but you will definitely get charged Duty and Vat and local devivery in UK.

it is up to you what you want to do.
you can even buy the V6 eclipse kit, and then through away the front roll stopper and buy the extra front roll stopper above as a one off. that might work out cheaper, but it might not.

Believe we want the following parts from http://www.energysuspensionparts.com

13-503
13-505
13-508
13-509
costing $129.48 (with potential for another $25 of import duty/VAT).

Can someone confirm I've got it right as this thread is confusing.

[Davezj]

yes that is correct. they must have changed there price since i was emailed the price.

i have filled out the checkout so you can see it all together.

http://www.energysuspensionparts.com...3Fprod%3D13508

$130 +10% Duty = $143

$143 +17.5% VAT = $168

[Nick Mann]

Dave - if you are proposing to organise a group buy, I will order three kits.

[phosty]

Davej, put me down for one of the VR4 specific kits please - my other cars mounts are buggered too.

[kinkyafro]

Ahh looks like Dave was posting at the same time as me - without wanting to sound like a whinger how come the kit is a shade more expensive then ordering seperately?
