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 (seen here) in the 986 series parts has been addressed in the 987 series parts (offered here) 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.
