Hydraulic engine mounts 2000 Tib
I know that the 2001+ Elantra and 2003 Tiburon I4's have the hydraulic engine mounts which helps reduce the engine vibration in the car. Would this be possible to get in the 2000 Tiburon which has rubber mounts? Do you think it would improve the harsh engine vibrations?
Also, on the new Beta engines are more refined with all these new counter-weight-whatevers, and ribbed engine block...does this effect the delivery of power to the wheels?

I've got a 2001 Elantra and let me tell you what. The new beta in these things rolls way back under heavy load. About 2-3 inches. It was enough to knock the throttle shaft against my MSD Box I originally placed on the firewall behind the TB. Thought it had enough room to clear but when the car was under heavy load (ie. launching for racing) it would roll backwards. I don't know how much the old beta's rolled back but it can't be any further than the new ones. So I don't think it will be much of an improvement if any for vibration purpouses. If you look in another thread I am actually looking for stiffer engine mounts. The more roll the engine has the less torque that is transfered to the wheels. Therfore reducing acceleration. smile.gif

I don't see how the engine moving around in the engine bay would effect the torque transfer...from what I know the engine needs to have a bit of play, hence we have a flexible pipe after the catalytic converter to keep the exhaust pipe from snapping.
Solid engine mounts are going to vibrate your car to death. I just remember driving and Elantra GT and it was much smoother, and I know that it has hydrauic mounts and mine are just plain rubber.

okay, let's read this one slowly now.
If your engine is rotating itself what is rotating less?
If your engine is not rotating itself what is rotating more?
stiffer mounts = faster delivery of torque to the wheels.

Solid engine mounts will transfer more NVH (noise, vibration, and Harshness) into the frame of the car, but not nearly as much as you would think. The suspension bushings still flex like crazy, and there is more road vibration than engine vibration.

OK, but I still need an answer to my origonal question...would hydrauic engine mounts fit and work to reduce the engine vibration?
I am talking about transferring Elantra engine mounts to the Tiburon.

Only if you have a 2003 Tibby, which would already have the new hydro mounts.
The beta mounts different in the new elantra and new tibby due to the new front subframe. you could not re-use those mounts without having that subframe, or doing some serious customization.
