Engine Damper installation
i have a 95 civic with a d16z6. i am trying to install my enigne damper, which is made by NRG. i thought that it bolts up to the chasis and your motor mount. i found the part where it goes to the chasis but am having trouble with the motor mount part. the two holes on the mount look as if it is supposed to mounted to a different part of the motor. i am asking for anyone with pics of theirs installed or any input from anyone that has dealt with this product.

Re: Engine Damper installation
Didn't you get instructions with them? If not can we get a pic of what you have, and the engine itself. We may be able to figure it out by looking at the damper.

Re: Engine Damper installation
would you happen to know which bolt?
i did get instructions but it only tells me how to adjust the pre-load. it came with 1inch pics of some set ups but they are blurry and in black and white, so i cant really see where it connects to the motor. I am currently working on uploading some pics.

not sure which bolt, i just remember seeing a picture of one installed on someones car and it looked like it was attached directly to the engine.

Re: Engine Damper installation
it looks to me like it is for a non ex engine mount with the 2 single studs. but i could be wrong. i dont use the engine dampers. im just pazy. i need solid mounts but dont feel like putting them in.

Re: Engine Damper installation
i know you can barely see it but this is a normal civic mount, i had a z6 in my si but it has the mount with the 2 studs. not like the ex / gsr mount.

Re: Engine Damper installation
the mount is wrong, if you can get a motor mount out of a gsr. thats what i used. that damper bolted to my mount by the top end of the block if that makes any sence to you

Re: Engine Damper installation
so if i am comprehending this right. you guys are saying that the mount on the damper is made for a non ex motor mount. since my motor is an ex then ill have to change out that motor mount. i thought that all d series mount were the same.

Re: Engine Damper installation
your saying that you have the same exact damper that i have. and all you did was switch out that motor mount to a gsr side mount and it all bolted up right.

Re: Engine Damper installation
***i looked at your bottom link my set up looks just like the pic labeled del sol b16. its just that the holes dont line up correctly for the motor mount.***edited
Heres a pic of the mount that i think goes to the motor mount. number 1 goes to the damper and two and three go to the motor mount or somewhere on the motor. number three is about an inch higher than number two. this is why i find it hard to believe that it bolts up to my side motor mount.

Re: Engine Damper installation
so which number did the bolt from your damper go into the mount. its just eaiser to refer to the number on the pic so its eaiser to communicate even thought its weird.

Re: Engine Damper installation
Why does the damper even attach to the mount? Honestly, that doesn't seem to make sense. Can anyone testify that these even do anything cause I thought they went to the firewall.

Re: Engine Damper installation
i orderd the engine damper kit from weksauce. it came the nut/bolts and the mounts. number three is the hole that f's me up too. 1 and 2 go just fine but 3 f's it all up.
