and couldn't find out what i want to know...i have solid motor mounts in my 95 civic coupe with an all motor ls swap...and the dash rattles like hell and its's almost annoying to ride in the car...would the engine damper stop the rattle? or should i not use it with solid motor mounts? and would i buy the damper for the civic or the integra?

 

I have the same problem. My dash rattles my teeth out. I would suggest stock mounts and an engine damper. You would use a damper for a integra. That should help the rattles and still serve the same purpose your trying to get from your aftermarket mounts.

 

my question is could i use the damper with the solid mounts i have now? i don't want to use stock mounts lol...

 

uuh an engine dampner would make your car rattle more...... I belive there used to stop wheel hop... Don't get fooled by the name

 

yes it may make your car rattle more. What mounts do you have?

 

dunno...i just know they are solid...they came with the car...

 

are the mounts worn out, if they are fill it with 3m window weld

 

R they solid metal or is there urethane in them too?

 

its like they got inserts or something in them...hold on i'll go take pics...

 

heres the mount on my driver side...


and i have this thing next to my crank pully...i have one of these on each side of the car...it's like a mount bolted to the car then it has a rod bolted to the block it looks like...

Uh the damper absorbs vibration and movement from the engine, which helps eliminate wheel hop, explain how that would make it worse?

Yes these will help your problem. Do a search and read-up on them.

thats the thing i searched and couldn't find out if it would be good used with solid mounts...i've just seen people say "used the damper or get solid mounts/mount inserts"...not one has said anything about using both

 

But regardless of using polyurethane mounts with or w/o an engine damper, it will still rattle from vibrations through the urethane mounts themselves. The mounts pictured don't look stock, but the torque mounts are polyurethane. I am guessing the rear mount is alot either afermarket or polyurethane insert?

 

The dampers aren't some magical thing that will solve all your problems thats for sure...
But everything I've read about them said they will help eliminate vibration, so they definatly won't hurt. Besides what do these run $100?! Give it a shot.

 

i dunno. this is a big hassle lol...u think if i got the damper it will reduce wheel hop? cuz even with all the mounts and the traction bars i still get wheel hop

What are you putting down?

 

^^ I agree. It is worth a shot. I may even consider it after this weekends trip in the civic.

 

i have no ideal the hp on the car...i know it runs a 8.20-8.40 in a 1/8th of a mile...its pretty built....i just havn't dyno'd it yet. i got a new head put on it so once i get it retuned i'll know what the hp is at.

heres the thread for it

so i get the damper for the 94-00 integra or the 92-95 civic?

 

94+ Teg.

 

ive used an engine damper with just the motor mount insert kit from ES....engine damper made no difference with those so i dont think it'd help u at all...i took out my inserts cuz i didnt wanna deal with the vibration since i drive the car daily and a lot...u can tell the difference in engine movement with the inserts and with jsut the engine damper...the inserts are better but the difference is not enough to make me wanna keep the vibration...thats all ive got to say...as for the engine damper an eg one will work fine

 

well if i used both the inserts and the damper would it reduce the wheel hop?

 

In theory, yes it should.

 

ok...ordering one now ...thanks for all the help you guys
