Engine Torque Damper

[Karl]

Wondering you guys take on engine torque damper's. Found one on ebay " http://cgi.ebay.com.au/TEGIWA-ENGINE-TORQUE-DAMPER-INTEGRA-TYPE-R-DC2-JDM-/180565682811?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM& hash=item2a0a8daa7b" ... Already have Hasport engine mounts. You guys recommend ??

[Philip Lee]

if you already have hasport, i don't see why you need ETD except for bling.

[Karl]

So you think nothing will be achieved by them other then looks?? With the hasport mounts

[Philip Lee]

Correct.

[tinkerbell]

looks/bling wont even be achieved - the only ETD's on type R's that i have seen are broken ones...

[ChargeR]

I concur. I had a torque damper (but on a DC5) and whilst the effect was noticeable the $50 ESMM inserts I put into the mounts had a much more pronounced effect on engine movement. If you already have urethane engine mounts then the damper is a waste of money.

[Karl]

Alright scrap that idea. Thanks guys

[tinkerbell]

i have some ES ones spare if you want?

$20 + postage

[Karl]

Energy Suspension Manual Transmission Shifter Stabilizer Bushing Set

Energy Suspension Manual Transmission Shifter Stabilizer Bushing Set provides more positive shift during acceleration. Unlike OE rubber, polyurethane material will not break down and deteriorate. This will eliminate any play in your shift.

How easy is it to install???

[tinkerbell]

is only 3 bolts, but is under the car so a hoist would help... otherwise you need jack stands...

take maybe 45 mins total...

[Karl]
