Ingalls ETD

[tony1234]

Just PM'd Reach to get one for me. Why an eyesore? Most people want to have a visible ETD in their engine bay.

Aaron,how much did it cost all up,delivered to your door in AU$$?

I see. I thought you relocated your battery for weight balance.

It was one reason, but I have to say, having a battery-less engine bay was the main drive (it's def. a more noticeable difference than the weight transfer)

Now I'm torn between FEELS and Ingalls... the benefit of having both doesn't seem that great...

where are both mounting points? any better pics Chris? If it mounts to the suspension points can you still fit the strut brace?

Below is a picture of the mounting location on the strut tower. JTso seems to think it would fit with the cusco strut bar, or if not only a small bit of material would have to be removed.

The FEELS etd seems like a neater all purpose solution (no clearance issues etc.)

They estimate US$135 + 40 shipping. So that's about AU$205.

The short bolt of the stock suspension and coils like Tanabe is worrying. If you violent wheelhop, you might strip the threads. The FEELS doesn't have the problem of the strut bar, but you will have to bend the O2 sensor mounting bracket to fit it on like how EuroAccord13 found out.

There's clearance issues everywhere. Is mounting the 02 sensor bracket a non-issue?

[aaronng]

Just bend the bracket out, fit the mount and then bend it back into place.

I used to know all the car modification parts but now forgotten, what's this engine torque damer do? Is it the same as engine damper?

[fatfish]

With 2 ETDs, you can use softer rubber bushings instead of the hard poly bushings that you would need if you used only 1 ETD.

what if we with 2 ETDs will it decrease the virbation go through into the car. will we be able maintain the comfort like the stock car, still have use of ETD.
just wondering anyone can comfirm Feels etd is on the left or right side of engine bay. for example ingalls etd is on the right of engine bay. what about feels?

If you use 2 ETDs with soft rubber, it will have less vibration than 1 damper with hard poly bushings. JTso on tsx.acurazine is running 3 ETDs.

The FEELS ETD goes behind the engine. Near the middle.

There is a difference between the o2 sensor bracket on the 04 Euro and the 06..

The 06 02 sensor is in the way of the bracket, as for the 04, you can bend the o2 sensor bracket out first, install the ETD bracket and then bend the o2 sensor bracket back again....
