mad props to adam for making this bad boy for me. This is a one off asg14 dogbone engine mount using energy suspension bushings. These are available in very limited quantities. Contact adam for more info. These are a must for hard drag racing!

HAHA! Thanks Gabe. :-P

Now get a pic of the other one. :-D

And for anyone wanting this.......I;m not making them for people unless they have a true need. Which is very very few people.

hey just a question, what are your ets,ya know whats the 1/4 mile time for a stock solara?

adam are there any tradeoff's for having your dogbone? a rougher idle?

by **ASG14** » Wed Jul 08, 2009 5:49 pm

^ God yes, lol. Right now only TRD4Life, Eye8Pussies, and jetbk have one.

The idle is rougher. And also a lot more noisy due to noise vibration. Also more stress on other engine parts. Thats why I will only make them for peopel that truely need them for racing. It honestly is not too good as a daily driver with it.

stock v6 5 speed solara 15.1 1/4 mile in optimal conditions

My 7psi S/C no header setup ran a 13.6 at 102mph

With my current n/a setup 14.6 (intake, y pipe, exhaust, other small stuff)

Yeah, unless you have an ASG or Jims torque rod, upgraged front, and rear engine mounts using poly bushings, this would just cause your stock rubber mounts to deteriorate even faster or even tear through. But I would imagine these are a must have for any of you S/C guys pushing 7+psi.

My poly dogbone has driven me nuts with the minimal noise it has made, I can't imagine what this does. Even considering, kudos on making something original.

Now there's a great idea!!! A rear poly engine mount or trans mount. I have the rear mopunt from SuperPro. The last time I was down there it kinda seemed oblong. I really need to check into that.
The only worry I have with this mount is the fatigue on the metal. Any solid mount will seek it's weakest point. ie the idler plate?? Just a thought.
Does anybody know what Tony (the Tiger) uses??
BTW he also uses the real front TT Supra rotors. Hint, hint....

^ Tony made his own Poly mount I think. King told me, but can;t fully remember. He saw my mount on King's car when working on his exhaust and did not say anything bad about it. So that makes me happy, lol. But remember, Tony has an Auto. It's pretty much only needed on the 5-speed do to the shifting.

King has had this on his '94 since early winter I think. He drives the everliving crap out of his car, and to date, no issues.

I re-did my dogbone bushing in polyurethane using this stuff: http://3m.hillas.com/pc-1993-1067-3m-54 ... 05-oz.aspx The original was cracked and seperated from the metal, now its rock solid. Im sure you could use this method to repair engine mounts as well.

^^Wow that's sturdy.
