engine damper or torque damper

[hectik1]

cookim6, leverage does interesting things when it comes to mounts. most of the them are low, definately lower than most areas where a stiffy might attach. because of this low mounting relative to the tall engine, the leverage they see from the engine rocking is pretty high. it takes quite a bit of stiffness in a mount set to equal what a moderate setting on a stiffy can provide, and the downside is mounts can't be adjusted to 'soft' for regular cruising. the ingalls stiffy has a very broad range of adjustment, so you can in essence give your car the feeling of very high durometer mounts, which will yield very impressive launching and shifting, or back it down and enjoy stock vibe-free driving.

the stiffy is no joke. it isn't anything like what else is out there by weapon r, or NRG, or any of those 'knock-off' companies.

torque dampers, real ones, like the ingalls stiffy, can do wonders for powerful FF, esp one as powerful as this thing. i used one on my honda and it was incredible...and i had high duro inserts for all of my relevent torque mounts. also helped with shifting on that car, but that is because it was a linkage actuated trans.

i have been pressing ingalls a bit to develop one, but they are reluctant because the one they developed for the SRT4 did not sell well at all, whereas the honda/acura units have sold like crack. they also are pretty busy developing other apps that they feel are less 'niche'.

i will keep applying the pressure, albeit lightly ; )

if you feel like you want to put your word in about the subject, and urge them to develop it, send an email to adamm AT ingallseng.com

yes, that is two m's, and sub AT with @

Well the only car I had the engine dampener (ingalls) in was my Evo. You may be right about it on a FWD.(freak)

Here's a picture of the product that is in the final stages of R&D

"Okay, I will post 1 pic...

THIS IS A MOCK-UP PIC, NOT THE FINAL PRODUCT...AGIAN...MOCK-UP PIC

Just want to be clear lol.

You can't really tell, but it clears the A/c lines perfectly. We will however be including some larger hose to slip over the A/C lines for added protection as a "Just In Case" "

just an FYI guys, its damper, not dampener

a dampener is something that applies moisture. a damper is what we have here.

to dampen also means to reduce, dampener is a noun, engine torque dampener is a thing to reduce engine torque, not literally but u know what i mean however this isn't english class so...

in this context, your reasoning is not correct, and you are wrong, believe me; but whatever. I explained this in the other thread. What you've said is exactly it's endlessly confused, so i understand why you are saying what you are saying : )

I wouldn't push the issue if i didn't know i was correct, it's not that big of a deal for me. I just want to help everyone out with a small detail.

the most rudimentary way to illustrate this is to go on Google, type in "dampener suspension"...it'll ask if you meant "damper suspension".

then manually type in "damper suspension"....it will not ask you anything.

oh well, i'm just trying to make the correction so if you, collectively, talk to someone in the industry, such as manufacturer (say Eibach) who deals with suspension on a high level as a daily business, you won't have them thinking the same thing i'm trying to tell you when you are talking to them.

Not to split hairs, fellas, but if the vibes from the damper makes your female passengers wet, then I guess it's a dampener, as well.
