Nads Goes From Limp To Stiff - Energy Suspension Motor Mounts and Ingalls Torque Damper Install
PROJECT RSX PART V11: ADDING ENERGY MOTOR MOUNTS AND AN INGALLS STIFFY ENGINE TORQUE DAMPER
By Carter Jung, Photography by John Naderi
Ever since Nads got his car back with the new Toda internals, he's been nothing but Persian smiles. That is, until his motor made an unnatural clunking noise not much different than a really wet fart. Upon investigating the sound, the source appeared to be from the increased torque (a problem we'd all like to have, right?). With some coaxing and coercing, Nads was able to acquire a set of urethane motor mount inserts from Energy Suspension and an Ingalls Stiffy Engine Torque Damper. Lucky for Nads, Elton Lo at Raceline finished relocating his shop to perform the install.
Because Nads is super busy and super foolish, I have been assigned the super task of putting together this install. Bear with me here, as I wasn't there and I attempt (poorly) to re-enact the events. Warning: to attempt to install any of the products using this as a guide could lead to serious side effects (i.e. frustrations, anger, etc). For a complete guide refer to the manufacturers or email Nads--he was there. (uh, sorry. - JN)
