Sr20 Question

[fattox33]

Hey all, just got a mate asking me this, i think i know the answer but if anyone actually knows could you fill me in?

Do the redtop/blacktop/silvertop (RWD spec) SR20's use the same engine mount as the E-W mounted FWD bluetop (even though they are mounted differently, they could use the same mount?)

I don't believe they would, FWD would need slightly stronger mounts due to forward/backward motion with dynamic physics, but anyway can someone answer this?

I might help a little..

The FWD sr20 mounts definitely are different to the RWD sr20 mounts

Although it's still an SR20, the front wheel SRs have different diffs etc so you could never put that engine in a RWD car (you probably know that already)

I think transverse mounted engines or something like that can be mounted on both types of engine mounts.

As for how much stronger one type might be someone more in the know would have to comment on that, but yes they are no doubt different mounts for each are used
