hey everyone

ok so i was just browsing at things to buy for my car and was interested in the ENGINE DAMPER KITs

that are available. I've read some of the advertisement things for them and they state the following:

Features Engine Damping Adjustment

Flying Mega Engine Torque Damper (FMETD) for all R32 GTR with RB26DET Engine is designed to protect the engine mounts and to reduce engine vibration to the chassis.

Less chassis vibration enables the engine to transmit more power to the ground and therefore greatly improved off-the-line acceleration. It will also improve gear shifting response.

Wheel hop is reduced and enhancing vehicle stability.

Anodised in ELECTRIC BLUE to prevent corroding

Super strong 1 piece piston structure

Complete bolt on kit, very easy to install.

My question is has anyone got one of these installed and do they actually improve acceleration, gear shifting and enhance vehicle stability?

do you even notice it being on there? seems far fetched, but if i'm wrong i'm willing to try it. let us know about your experience.

thanks

i got one just cause I think it looks good. i just trick my mind and my wallet into thinking it improves performance.

mines just raw, no attention grabbing anodising.

So you've noticed no improvements?

anyone else got one?

I disagree, should I have had one installed on my last engine the clutch kick that aided in the splitting of my engine mount, allowing the engine to lift to the point of ripping off my boost controller and free boosting, kissing goodbye to the engine all could have possibly been drastically reduced with fitment off this unit.

That being said in daily usage, one mightent perhaps do the above and have the same result.

nah the brace just drives the two retaining bolts nicely into your rocker covers and if it was violent enough cracks the rocker cover.... :cheers:

but they do look cool.

nothing that made me go "WOW, best money ever spent". a slightly better feel in acceleration, but like I said, its like taking an energy drink and believing you have heaps more energy after drinking it. You dont really know if its doing anything unless you get Mythbusters onto it.

Maybe you should have had the "clutch kick"(not really sure what that is) issue sorted out in the first place?

a clutch kick is used to get wheels spinning... ie accel and then dip or 'kick' the clutch whilst still holding accel. used alot in drifting etc.

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      Or do we think it was installed to give 1 bar of boost max, all day, everyday?

      So could it be assumed it has been installed intentionally with potentially a power FC boost controller kit?

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      Had my rig on Matt's dyno at PITS the other day. After a few years between tunes I added a few sensors and swapped intercoolers. Result. 553hp at 26psi. Not bad for an FJ20 that was built in 2007. The problem.. It filled the overflow bottle on hard runs which leads me to believe the head gasket isn't sealing. I have a coolant pressure sensor which was reading cap pressure at 22psi and occasionally overrunning to 23/24 psi on deceleration after a pull. It was not spiking. It has arp2000 head studs and a cometic gasket. As its been 18 years in service, I pulled the engine out and head off. Everything looks good but we obviously have an issue. Where I'm at.. Years ago I had the same issue, I checked the stud tension and they were all over the place. Some at 60 to 70 and some up near 90. I nipped them all to 100ft lbs and this stopped the water push until now. I believe this compromised the gasket back then. What do I do? 2 options are..  1) I bought arp 625+s, which I could put in with a new gasket. Thinking Kameari this time, reassemble and try again. 2) strip the block, get fire rings machined in with copper gasket and try that. I do not want to push it more than 28 to 30psi. I think the turbo will be out by then anyway. (G30-770). My other concern is the long term ability of a copper head gasket. Are they streetable for years? I feel like a new gasket with the new studs will probably suffice, but I don't know. Any thoughts welcome and advice on copper gaskets and fire rings. Thanks!

      Chris' Toyota Mark ii JZX110

      I'm a fan of the JZX110, and the Aristo. Big cruiser cars, and with the factory cars, super comfortable and feel like you're driving an armchair! And the JZ motors are a pretty nice engine too, especially with some basic mods.   The import process, and the need to be able to trust people, and the fact there's so many scammers around is what ever puts me off wanting to go through that ordeal!
