_shaun_ Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 cant say i noticed a difference when i put mine in. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
james@cjperformance Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 this is something we have been looking in to. it wouldnt really do much as it is on the one side of the engine. if there was an engine damper that could me made to fit from the firewall to a main gearbox bolt the affect would be very noticable.ive seen a few silk roads and similar types break at the bracket as the force being exerted on the braket afeectively causing the engine to twist Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gainzy Posted January 27, 2013 Author Share Posted January 27, 2013 Al repost with my opinion when its fitted av read up on them they seem to make a difference hope it does Quote Link to post Share on other sites
starletburkie Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 id have my doubts about these tbh, there on one side of the engine that has the least movement in it lol makes no sense Quote Link to post Share on other sites
akyakapotter Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 Better to get poly mounts Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ryan-11 Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 I didnt notice any difference, i bought mine purely for looks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gainzy Posted January 27, 2013 Author Share Posted January 27, 2013 They are stupidly expensive new they wouldn't make them if they did nothing... When the revs are high its meant to prevent the engine rock and power transfer is delivered more smoothly so they say Quote Link to post Share on other sites
starletburkie Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 ya so they say lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Addymk2 Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 (edited) So they say, they are also stupidly expensive for no apparent reason, a little damper and a CNC plate for £100? I wonder if you could adapt a better controlled version with the air shock off a mountain bike...Plus you can pick a used air shock up for as little as £30, lighter, adjustable (pump it up rock solid for the track) and serviceable if it ever leaks Edited January 27, 2013 by Addymk2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
james@cjperformance Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 most engine movement comes the passenger side. lots of companys makes stuff that is stupidly expensive and people lap it up because its "rare" or "they said it did this" i have a silk road in the garage that has snapped due to the stress put on it because it is in the wrong place to do anything worthwhile ill get some pics later and explain a bit more Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ryan lang Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 because its JDM yo :/ sigh they'd only be any good from where the gearbox and engine meet, as that where the torque is actually transmitted Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gainzy Posted January 27, 2013 Author Share Posted January 27, 2013 Cool what kind of power were you running when it snapped? So far there isn't really much positive results on them Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ryan lang Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 best thing to use is an rear supsension coil off a mountain bike, and make up some brackets Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gainzy Posted January 27, 2013 Author Share Posted January 27, 2013 Lol av bought it now might aswell give it a gojust hope it doesn't snap or al be gutted lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
james@cjperformance Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 Cool what kind of power were you running when it snapped? So far there isn't really much positive results on them Not sure was fitted to enots car running ,8 on tdo4 ill pop some pics up in a bit Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gainzy Posted January 27, 2013 Author Share Posted January 27, 2013 I would expect it to snap with the bigger turbo Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Addymk2 Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 best thing to use is an rear supsension coil off a mountain bike, and make up some bracketsA little air can would be ideal... Pump it up to about 200psi and it will be peachy Quote Link to post Share on other sites
micky boy Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 Would be good if they was one made that was adjustable abit like the ones you get on a bicycle etc Quote Link to post Share on other sites

little dave Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 Bike shocks are made for compression not sure it would works it needs to dampen in and out surely to be working to the max Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gainzy Posted January 27, 2013 Author Share Posted January 27, 2013 You had a kit before micky? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Addymk2 Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 Bike shocks are made for compression not sure it would works it needs to dampen in and out surely to be working to the maxA decent bike shock has adjustable damping and all sorts, a halfrauds special bikes shock is just made for show lol I no my current bike shock has adjustable rebound, damping and compression and so do most decent air cans. A coil setup like the one above wont have as many adjustment options bar changing the spring for a different weight and maybe the rebound. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
