Engine Damper for Top mount?
Engine Damper for Top mount?
Like the title says anyone know of a engine damper that will work for a top mount setup? I know they make ones that mount to the drive side strut tower and to the side of the head, but im pretty shure it wont clear the compressor on my topmount setup. Its for a s13 with a s13 redtop btw.

someone on here has an engine damper that they modified to fit the other side of the engine. i have no idea who it was, or what they did though.

I've seen dampers used on cars that need them, but I've never heard of a 240 that "needed" one. If you were using stock 200,000 miles engine and tranny mounts on a built SR you might need one, but if you use quality new mounts like Nismo, Cusco or some of those solid ones I'm pretty sure it's unnecessary.

Alright yah i think its just time that i replace the mounts... time to go solid or at least urethane.

sorry to thread jack, but is there a way to fit the torque damper on a s13 black with a ER hotpipe?

Re: (Emperor_Tha)
I've always wondered why the torque dampeners go on the us drivers side because the motor actually tilts toward the passenger with the torque. I've watched it happen on numerous dyno runs. The way that they are designed with the piston it just seemed like it should be on the other side. Maybe I just don't understand the mechanics of the torque dampener.
