Default ebay engine torque damper

Has anyone fitted this damper?

Looks like you are going to have to drill the plate that comes with those dampers..

I wish to know if somebody did this mod and found a good spot to bolt it up?

will be coming out with solid motor mounts by the end of the week. no need for a damper, lol. i have been running and testing them for 6 months. hardly any vibration, yet awesome throttle and decell. responce. plus it lowers the motor to fit the 1/2" plenum spacer no prob.

i know i didn't answer your question, but did give a viable alternative. plus i see no link to the dampener you are referring to.

Did you try these solid mounts with turbo kits? Wonder how lowering will affect the exhaust and turbo fitment.

I'd be interested. Do you have any idea how much they might cost? Hopefully it is comparable to the stillen damper.

I wanna see your mounts!

The ones we had raised the motor very slightly...

how much is your car lowered?
did it cause your y-pipe other things to rub more?

havn't priced it out yet, but will definately be cheaper than the other engine dampeners. when i say it lowered the motor it is only like 1/8" or so. but since the motor is mounted solid it would clear the 1/2 spacer on my car. they work awesome for turbo set ups for the fact you stop the engine from moving and possibility of loosening your piping from hitting the engine compartment and rubbing. i use 2 1/8th" rubber spacers to dampen a very small amount of the vibration.
i have built them for other cars, but this set up really doesn't add any harshness to the car, just better throttle responce and more predictability when at the limit.

the stock mounts are definately bigger around than these. these are 1.75" dom tubing so they are way more than beefy enough. sure, would ship to new zealand.

my car is on the lift right now so i will take a look and see. you would definately need to lift the motor at some point. nothing complex about it other than access maybe. i put mine in when i had the motor already out.

I do. It's a Stillen copy. Comes without manual. The seller send me a slew of pics to show how it mounts. Let me try to find those...

access may be kinda tight, but there is really nothing hard about it. one bolt each side really.
