How Engine Mounts Help Improve Performance

It’s easy to assume that your engine will stably sit under your hood forever, but that’s because you’ve forgotten about engine mounts—the unsung heroes of your vehicle.

Engine mounts (also known as motor mounts) connect your motor to the chassis and bear the brunt of all the wear and tear you subject your engine to. Read on to learn about how upgraded engine mounts help improve performance.

How Stock Mounts Diminish Performance

Most consumers want a ride that’s as cushiony and comfortable as possible. While this may feel good, it comes at the cost of performance! Stock motor mounts consist of a soft, cushiony material that minimizes the harsh vibrations your engine creates. This creates “driveline lash,” which means that the motor mounts soften the engine’s torque when you hit the gas.

Upgraded Mounts and Upgraded Performance

When you replace the stock mounts, the wasted torque can instead skip past the cushions and move through the drivetrain into the wheels for ideal performance. This can result in more power on the ground. If you’re okay sacrificing a little comfort, upgrading your engine mounts can have a direct impact on performance.

Since motor mounts are often specific to particular engines, you’ll need to find a custom-made set for your vehicle. Luckily, we carry products like Honda Civic engine mounts perfect for an immediate torque upgrade!

Polyurethane or Rubber?

Most stock mounts use rubber, but rubber can degrade over time due to small engine oil leaks. Polyurethane is a more rigid material that offers the torque upgrade you need, along with an increase in vibration. If this still doesn’t sound like enough torque, consider solid metal motor mounts instead. This option is a go-to choice for high-horsepower performance vehicles and racecars!

Now that you know how engine mounts help improve performance, you can make the switch if you’re willing to sacrifice a little comfort for a lot of torque.
