Anyone running with one? J's Racing is selling them and i was thinking about installing it.

I dont have a clue where it would bolt onto, and i dont know if i really need it!

Any feedback about this appreciated

EDIT: - WOW just noticed i spelt torque wrong in the title and i cant change it - lol

Update from Chris of Funky Styling (DC5 Owner)

the J's Racing one fits different to the 5Zigen one
it fits on the left side of the block (in my Teg engine pic)
 
beware!!! make sure it's for a jdm ek9!!! don't get 1 from the us for a civic si bcz it wont fit!!! :mad: i got 1 from ebay & it doesn't fit!!! :angry2: :angry2: it's for en eg6 instead. also it needs a lot of playing around with so you can set it up properly.
 
I don't have one installed, but here is a photo of one installed on a DC2 :shocked:

I want one!!

I just dont want to buy it and not know how to fit it!
 
anyone here tried both this and the es inserts, like to get experienced opionions on the damper, i used the inserts and they do exactly what they claim and are beneficial just like the damper but the damper is much easier to fit and saves lot of time and can be removed easily so i would say damper is better option but is expensive

another option is to replace all the engine mounts with slightly stiffer ones (engine movement initially increases due to worn mounts) but this is expensive and only worth doing if your mounts are shot
 
I have an ingalls engine damper, it attaches from the right engine mout to the strut tower. I'll take some pic's tomorrow.
