I was just wondering if anybody has had any experience with the engine torque mount insert? I'm having one put on by peak eurosport on Friday.

Thanks,

Made by NM???

I have it and love it.

 

_Yes, I had WAY MOTOR WORKS install one at AMVIV7 last March. The shifting is much crisper and maybe it is my imagination but I think I get a chirp of the wheels between 1st and 2nd on a just a Cooper. I read an article about it back in January/February and I can't remember where but it said it was good for your MINI and just better than OEM.

 

Way installed one at MOTD and the change is awesome! It'll be one of your better investments in your MINI!

 

Ditto!

 

Excellent! looking forward to the new more responsive feel.

Is the Way Motor Works unit the preferred one, or are there other units?

No Way does the installs. They are talking about the NM engine torque insert.

 

I have the NN insert. One of the best mods for the money IMO!

 

Yap, NM engine torque arm insert (ETAI) Way Motor Works carries them as well as Moss Mini for the same price. I had mine installed by Peak Eurosport in Wheatridge, CO. I love it cuz I can feel it being more crisp on the shifting.

Make sure you know which engine mount you have. On the R56, MINI went from a motor mount with a V shaped insert to one with the O shape. My MCS has a build date of 04/07 and it has the V-shaped one.

Here's a link to Mini-Madness that shows the difference between the two shapes: Engine Mount Bushing

I do have an O-shaped NM motor mount insert available for sale if someone would like it. I bought it before I found out that I have the V-shaped one. Brand New - $50


Cheers,

Wow! Big difference in design,that V one looks like it would do a better job than the O.

 

I had the O installed.

Anyone nhave a noticeable increase in NVH with these inserts? If you do, can you give me details?

Thanks!
