torque damper installation

Hello all,

Has anyone seen the Weapon R Torque Damper?
I cant seem to find any pictures or installation instructions on it.

I was wondering as a novice, if I would be able to do it myself. What do ya think?

and is it worth it? will it have any adverse affects on the engine or tranny?

It bolts onto the head of the motor, and onto the strut tower. Use dynamat or you're gonna kill yourself from the new noise. My buddy has it on his tC and he says the noise is unbearable...so he's gonna get some dynamat.

Takes like half an hour, tops.

Look into this website before you jump into a hole with that weapon-r one.
www.ingallseng.com its called the stiffy and has got nothing but good reviews. Some sellers on-line have it for about 150.00 shipped

okay i'm still learning as I go..what does the torque damper do?? and does it actually make that much noise after installing it??

The Weapon R torque dampener (or the Ingalls) is a way of preventing the motor from moving too much. A motor that moves around in the engine bay is putting less power to the ground. A damper is easier and cheaper than swapping out motor mounts. The noise everyone is talking about occurs because the motoris now directly fastened to the chassis. Much more NVH is transmitted to the cabin. The same type of thing happens when you put stiff motor mounts on a car.

well said oneday .. engine torque dampers are self-contained elastomeric shocks that mount on brackets between the engine and the chassis. The stiff dampers reduce engine movement. from what i understand it will improved off-the-line traction .. reduced wheel hop .. improved vehicle stability .. smoother shifting .. and will even reduced shock loads on driveline components

Theres way to quiet the Stiffy down significantly

dynamat?? whats that for?

Anyone have links to these products?

I've never come across these before, and they're fascinating from what I'm reading here.

Are you running a strut or dampeners boogie?

i have a megan strut and a megan C-pillar
for some reason the weapon R won't compress all the way to fit
i'll figure it out

Looks like I'll just be sporting a strut for now.
