GS Stiffy :naughty: - Club4G Forum : Mitsubishi Eclipse 4G Forums - 2006-2012 Eclipse Authority

bejayve · August 15th, 2011, 02:20 PM

If any of you have ever had someone rev your engine for you while peering into your engine bay, you know the 4G69 has some serious engine movement issues to address. After reading post after post of how much the GT guys looooved their stiffies I decided to see if I could retrofit one to my GS.

Using the original mount as a guide, I created a template and took it to a local machine shop. I gotta say this is a great mod for the $, super easy install too. I still have the template if anybody want's to follow suit.

**UPDATE**
I have attached the template to the thread as a zip file. Instructions below:

When printing do not adjust print area.
Print on letter sized paper.
Transfer template to cardboard and test fit.
Make sure your machinist uses at least 1/8” thick steel.
If your machinist doesn’t have the ability to bend steel make sure they grind their welds down smooth.
If additional information is needed contact me at bejayve@gmail.com

I purchased the gt poly mounts from energy and they seemed a little too fat to fit so now they're just sitting in the garage. If you can verify they fit, I'll go through the trouble of putting them on as well.

To everyone showing interest, I will send you the template via email tomorrow morning. Just PM me you email address.

leet · August 16th, 2011, 12:11 AM

oh wow gj man.
I need this bad. my motor shakes even with the motor mounts installed.
PM'ed.

akley88 · August 16th, 2011, 09:25 AM

i didnt realize the motor mounts where the same.

roman lujan · August 16th, 2011, 10:23 AM

Yeah they are at work I ordered mine and it gave me the same part number for the gt as well so the do fit. Cus its the same part

akley88 · August 16th, 2011, 10:29 AM

Where did you order them from? Energy Suspension list them as for the GT only on their site. I ordered them anyway. I'll attempt to do the install over the weekend and post results.

Truth! I can verify this per my v6 swap.

Xero · August 16th, 2011, 11:38 AM

SOooo sweet! Should help with launches quite a bit.

jarhead0321usmc · August 16th, 2011, 11:49 AM

Still on my to do list to put in

roman lujan · August 16th, 2011, 12:25 PM

Autozone I work there and energy suspision has them listed on the program that we use as that they will fit both motor types

Kidtkd73 · August 16th, 2011, 01:23 PM

I wish i wasnt so stupid but what exactly will this do for the car?

akley88 · August 16th, 2011, 01:24 PM

helps keep the engine from rocking

Kidtkd73 · August 16th, 2011, 01:36 PM

Does that give you more HP better control or what

akley88 · August 16th, 2011, 01:37 PM

it wont give you more power but it allows more power to get to the ground by stopping the rocking motion which wastes energy

Kidtkd73 · August 16th, 2011, 01:41 PM

Ah thanks how much would this cost to have done?

jarhead0321usmc · August 16th, 2011, 02:24 PM

Have them put in when you get your headers replaced and it is alot easier. Overall I think they cost around 100

Kidtkd73 · August 16th, 2011, 02:35 PM

Thanks now that i know what it is im alot more interested lol

nokiauser · August 17th, 2011, 01:02 AM

What did you pay to get the brackets fabbed?

evangeliise · August 17th, 2011, 06:36 AM

Mhmmmm. Is it possible for you to have it fabricated then have it shipped out. Ill be willing to pay labor cost + extra.

bejayve · August 17th, 2011, 08:40 AM

No offense bro but I really dont want to go through all of that. I'm more than willing to help through the forum but the last thing I want to do is be responsible for someone else's money/product.

Just take the template to any machine shop and get thier take on it. With the right tools the mount should be cake to fab.

snakeeyes · August 17th, 2011, 08:49 AM

im interested as well.all i need is the template

well that's cool to know , so the lancers 02-06 have the same motor mounts as the 06+ eclipses, and therefore the same as the evo 8-9 , I wonder how many more they are compatible with...

also you guys can make your own solid motor mounts f&r for about 40 bucks with flexane

I meant we have the same motor mounts as the GT, I am not positive on the EVO 8-9 Mounts.

Lanzerralliart · August 26th, 2011, 08:23 AM

I sent you that pic of the ralliart motor mounts awhile back, you said they looked like the gs back then which is the same for the gt so it should all be identical ,right? Or I might be mistaken , I have talked to so many people in so many forums but I'm pretty sure it was you I talked with.
