dc2r with engine torque damper

[IEVAQ8]

i have an engine torque damper and it seems that it has not helped the car but infact helped it bunny hope off the line
anyone have experience and with what other mods it does work well?????

[Drew]

Your car needs more power

[IEVAQ8]

hahahaha ur funny, i mean even if i rev and dump the shit out of it it will bunny hope not spin freely, as a posed to taking it off and it will fry smoothly, just an example
have you had experience.?????????

[BlitZ]

it shouldnt make it any worst.. cant see how it can..

and bunny hop is asssocaited with lca's moving back and forth...

engine damper is not intentionally designed to stop bunny hop.

it was designed to give better vehicle balance on and off throttle, entering and exiting corners.

[IEVAQ8]

thankx, so i guess i'll be ripping it off the car

[BlitZ]

better off with traction bars... made to stop bunny hop by holding LCR in position

[Benson]

engine torque damper are junked. You need to fill in the torque mounts. I filled in the rear engine mount and the 2 torque mounts and that helped elminate some wheel hop.

Next step is to get a set of traction bars. They help both handling and wheel hop.

[ginganggooly]

And funnily enough, I've got a spare set of traction bars...

In terms of wheel hop, it was never an issue with my vti-r, before or after traction bars. what suspension setup have you got, and how are the enging mounts??

hehe, i experienced same thing when i went to wsid, ****en hop all the way man , hehe, the funny thing was the only time i got my 60ft down to 2.23, i got the most hops , felt like riding a wild horse , i had engine damper as well, the sussy are N+ , mounts with inserts. i was thinking about it in one stage if it will make a difference without it , then kept forgetting to take it off , now it is off the car , will go again to see if it make any difference then let u know .

You need traction bar and fill up your mounts or get HASPORT

[Bludger]

thankx, so i guess i'll be ripping it off the car

did you adjust it correctly?

[IEVAQ8]

it is on there the way i bought it, when i take it off, there is no wheel hopping at all, my engine nmounts are fine, have got them checked, also i had h brace which i just sold, as it couldnt fit my headers hung down too low for the traction h brace bar i had............
can someone show me which treaction h brace is recomended if running 4-1 headers as they hang very low
my suspension is tein s/s
the hopping has become less since the suspension was installed..........

[Bludger]

you have to adjust the damper correctly

and i used a vice, bend the H brace to make it fit

[IEVAQ8]

serious

[IEVAQ8]

[Bludger]

they are both different, one is H brace and one is traction bar

get both, get known brands

be a brand whore

[IEVAQ8]

the other one that is similar looks to have a bigger step down and shgould clear
do you recommend h brace and traction bar, or 1 or the other?????

[Bludger]

what headers are you running?

i have the exact same one as above, i made it fit

EDIT - just have to bend the curve up a bit more, put it in a vice

[Bludger]

cover the vice with old thick cloth so it doesn't get scratch, not that its never going to get scratched

[IEVAQ8]

i have x force 4-1 headers...........
well it looks like i will be purchasing another one....lol
this one looks good

[Bludger]

all the same shit to me

don't help much for street use

i noticed engine damper is good improvement

[bennjamin]

also best to adjust your driving style and use more clutch off the line ( ride it)
Practice makes perfect - not lots of mods.

[IEVAQ8]

true, i do ride clutch as much as possible, i hate rev and dump, only when necassary......lol

[Weq]

does a dc2r make enough torque to dampen?? i have never experienced this sensation... lots of hp though...

[Bludger]

lol, haven't been online in a while
how u been?
