The WEVO Boxster SS Racing Engine mount is designed
for competition cars and offers maximum control of the drivetrain mass – without
overt concessions to NVH (Noise Vibration Harshness) . This competition series
mount is installed within the original Boxster (986 or 987) mount, re-using the
die cast aluminum housing and flat rubber isolator flaps that straddle the
mount. Unlike Solid engine or transmission mount systems, the Semi Solid
installation provides sufficient isolation from engine vibrations to protect
your sensitive engine control electronics and instrumentation systems.
The WEVO Boxster SS Racing Engine mount uses a 3 piece
design, where a pair of aluminum hubs are completely isolated from the alloy
housing by the elastomer pillow (orange part). This flexible interface between
the two solidly mounted brackets - engine and chassis - is the key to managing
destructive vibrations from being transferred between systems.
The Porsche O.E. Boxster mount use a combination of
elastomeric and geometric features to masterfully balance the competing
challenges of drivetrain location and NVH. The common failure mode in the 986
series parts has been addressed in the 987 series parts and the O.E. 987
mount display a more sophisticated architecture with revised geometry, plus a
revision in general design and materials.
The WEVO Boxster SS Racing Engine mount and the Porsche O.E.
987 mount share an elastomeric isolation design principal. The highest level of
drivetrain location desirable in competition activities, is achieved by the WEVO
Boxster SS Racing Engine mount and with this comes an increase in NVH. For this
reason we recommend the 987 series parts for all street, street tuner and street
driven AutoX cars.
The WEVO SS Racing Boxster Engine Mount is
suited for the following application(s):
986,987 - Boxster,Cayman,S 1997-Present
1 per car
Note: A press and selection of press tools will be necessary
to remove the O.E. rubber mount prior to installation of the WEVO SS Racing
Engine Mount. Installation of the WEVO SS Racing Engine Mount requires no
special tools.
