M@tt 77 Posted December 7, 2007 can anyone confirm whether i'd need just the top part of a Mi16 engine mount to bolt onto the existing XM part that bolts to the block or would i need the bit that bolts to the block as well? The xm mount looks like this but i've removed the top part. i think it should fit however there do appear to be 2 small lugs on the top of it at the front which might need grinding flat if it fouls the mi16 top part see this pic for what i mean Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Alastairh 47 Posted December 7, 2007 I have a complete S16 one sitting in my garage if need be mate Depending how urgent you are, can give to Henry at the next meet Al Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
M@tt 77 Posted December 7, 2007 (edited) i dont think the s16 will fit mate (i think i have one already that i bought in error), the bolt pattern on the block is differnet, xm turbo = mi16 mount required, 406 turbo = s16 mount required i believe.

M@tt 77 Posted December 7, 2007 it wont fit on a 406 though i dont think, the mounting holes are different Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
whizzer71 0 Posted December 7, 2007 it wont fit on a 406 though i dont think, the mounting holes are different I thought the XM and 406 turbo unit was RGX/RGY and that the basic Block casting was the same ?,so based on that assumption I guess it should,I think its only the alloy block engines that have a different stud pattern for the engine mount Tris Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sonofsam 5 Posted December 7, 2007 I think they are a different stud pattern Tris , As I had to get a new engine mount for my RGX, and IIRC it had to come from a 406. luckily got one from a 2.0 N/A , lots less on it, so I cut it down even further http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b393/djs...am/DVC01370.jpg Who's worried about weight saving when you have a tubby onboard Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rob Turbo 3 Posted December 7, 2007 I know that a mount from an s16 will fit an xm block, so I presume that the 406 mount will fit the xm block also On my 205 turbo the engine originaly had the mi16 type mount, but when I was doing the 16v conversion I swapped the mount for one off an s16 to free up a bit more space!
