NL2022-09 MINI R56 UPPER ENGINE MOUNT INSERT

As we enter our 11th year of supporting the Mini Challenge, our affinity to the Mini brand is clear whether it be for new or old models, and this week sees us add the final piece to our range required to restrict engine/trans movement on your Mini R56, for a next-level driving experience.

Complimenting products such as PFF5-220 and PFF5-225, our new PFF5-224 Upper Engine Mount Insert is designed to fill the void in the OE rubber upper engine mount to restrict movement.

The original rubber engine mount softens and perishes with age, losing its ability to dampen effectively and promoting unwanted engine movement. By fitting our new insert, it acts as a buffer by restricting movement within the bush thus improving throttle response, sharpening gear changes, and reducing wheel hop for improved traction.

Available in 3 material variants, you can choose the insert that best suits your driving and vehicle requirements.

PFF5-224 Upper Engine Mount Insert (Petrol/Tuned Diesel) is made from our Yellow 70A durometer material, providing an excellent balance of strength and compliance for improved performance, whilst limiting NVH transmission into the cabin. This part is recommended for Petrol models and high-torque tuned Diesel models.

PFF5-224R Upper Engine Mount Insert (Diesel) is made from our softest Red 65A material, specifically designed to minimise NVH transmission. Recommended for unmodified Diesel models or for drivers who want a subtle improvement in driving feel without compromising comfort.

PFF5-224BLK Upper Engine Mount Insert (Track) is made from our stiffest 95A Black Series material, providing a no-compromise performance option for track-focused builds.

A small increase in NVH, usually at idle, should be expected when stiffening the connecting mount between the engine/transmission and chassis. The harder the material used, the greater the NVH transmitted.

Alongside the Mini R56, PFF5-224 fits the R55 Countryman, R57 Cabriolet, R58 Coupe, R59 Roadster, R60 Countryman & R61 Paceman models.
