Weapon-R Engine Torque Damper

[Captain KRM P5]

they were pretty damn tight. i would not say it was 175ft/lbs, thats huge. i admittedly am not popeye the sailorman (before or after a can of tasty spinach) but i used an air ratchet to remove and reinstall the two nuts on the engine mount. i am sure with a beer, a breaker bar and some gusto you can get them loose.

Nice! looks like a very useful mod.

however $200 for a mount is a bit high for me right now

WTF, why didn't Mazda think of this from the git go?

Not sure... the stock mm was good to go as is.... haha

There is some resonating sound in the cab

Look at it like this you will spend around if not more then 200 for all mounts when they go bad or upgrade them. the damper will make hte stock mounts last much much longer to.

I couldn't agree more. This is relieving the mounts of a great deal of stress. If your mounts are in good condition when you install this, you should be good with this as your only mount mod.

Is it $200 for this?(rant)

I spent $125 on my Ingalls ETD for my Evo!(dunno)

What does this do, exactly? Is it like a shock-absorber for the engine-roll?

yes. It doesn't vibrate like a mount would but it prevents the engine from rotating under acceleration.

thanks to TheDoc for being our guinea pig. for everyone who orders one who has a mazdaspeed3, i will be modifying the brackets accordingly before they ship out. the AC and PS lines as shown have to be disconnected and moved during the install. as you can see the one bracket is moved to the back part of the line/engine to allow clearance of the damper.

Hi Ken,

I placed an order for the ETD for my MazdaSpeed3. Yesterday or today it was shipped. From what you just mentioned, I should receive an already upgraded mount for the ETD, correct?

I'm sure the cost in this part will go down just like every other mod for this car. Sounds like a great mod for WOT

yes that is correct. no one with speed3s will be getting one that wont work.
