engine damper or torque damper

[lutexas]

Has anyone seen an engine damper or torque damper for the mazdaspeed3?

 

[mr_mazda329]

Yes... A site is having a group buy on it as we speak. Can't say the site due to forum rules

Well, that helps. (dunno) I guess there's always Google. Look at that, found it!

ive seen them for a regular 3 but should be easy to mod for a ms3. So there is ms3 specific units?

I think weapon-R makes one, they make one for the msp

are you talking about that one for the standard 3?

If you are going to spend the money get an actual motor mount. The torque dampners work, but for the price it makes sense to get a mount. There is really a small difference in adjustments with those.

I called mazda3mods.com and they are working in a new engine damper for the speed 3. They have a damper for the mazda 3 but they said the bracket is different.

I also called WeaponR and they told me their engine damper for the mazda3 will fit the speed3 but i am not really sure about that.

I already have a SU engine mount and will wait for the mazda3mods engine damper to be released.

The company using my car for a bunch for other mods. we are in thought of producing these also. (already akes them fo rother cars). and posible 1 buit in to a Strut tower bar that will fit with the stock top mount.

Yea, I don't think they'll fit either. Our A/C line is in the way

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 @

Did they develop the last damper for the Srt4 caliber or the Neon? If it was the Caliber then they certainly jumped the gun on that one. The Caliber srt4 is by far a huge failure!

However I certainly will email him and express my interest in this particular aftermarket mod.

the neon...

If anyone is interested in a engine torque dampener for their speed3, pm for more info

the neon...

Oh ok thanks, by the way built I have seen your avatar and I assume you are a Boxer owner, got any pics? I just brought home a 4 month old Fawn girl.

i had a torque dampener on my 350z from stillen, made a NICE difference on that car since there was actually nothing there before hand. Not sure if it would be any different on the speed 3 than what the motor mount already does.

these will help with the different stress points that mounts will not due to their location. anything to help these weak or lack of mounts is a good thing. a mount in the front from factory would be ideal.

 

[FrequentFlyer]

A stiffer mount will help, but it's just putting more stress on the actual mount itself if you're stiffening the bushing and not beefing up the actual mount itself. A torque dampner on the other hand will dampen movement from above and reduce stress on the mount.

Well said, lemme know if anyone wants to know where to get one for their speed3
