i think i saw a spoon torque damper on ebay before, but are they really needed on our little EM1s with such little torque?

torque damper = waste of money, unless ur engines vibrating like crazy, than really its not worth anything..... Heck even V8's dont even use engine dampers, a better solution, change ur engine mounts, that should resolve the problem

I find it hard to believe u actually need anything that excessive on a B16 motor lol

i noticed like a 2% difference with one of these installed
i noticed a 99% difference with engine mount inserts installed
and apparently full engine mount kits are better again

NRG make a kit thats on ebay otherwise you can get the spoon or j's racing kit in the trader section on here

torque damper - waste of money

pivot razin voltage stab kit - different for every car - on my civic it improved things - on my integra it made things worse

as for engine mounts - if you can afford it and ur car is pretty modded i would go for a full hasport kit
my car isnt putting out any high power numbers (well i doubt it is lol) and i still have the original engine so i just got the energy suspension engine mount inserts (from ebay USA)
they made a world of difference =)

Would those Mounts be fine for a B16? and are they full kit? they seem to cheap, $100 shipped

they are only inserts for your stock mounts and they only go in 3 of them - not the whole set
