Hey guys i just installed a HPI engine damper in my s15 and have noticed a little extra vibration through the sterring wheel....just wondering if anyone else has experienced this and is this normal??? or do i need to readjust the damper ???
vibration after HPI engine damper install
I had a noticed increase in vibration into the cabin when I fitted my engine damper. I would say this is normal.
Realisticly, they don't really do much except increase vibrations unless you by a oil filled damper.

what are the oil filled dampers?
they are like a proper shock absorber. I don't think they are made for cars anymore. I am sure I saw one a while ago, but it was pricey
cool thanks for the reply
I think its purpose is to to prevent power loss in a way, becasue power is lost through vibrations of the engine. So you use the damper to prevent this but sacrifice some vibrations to go into the cabin. Would think that if you dont feel this way, the damper has a problem!
i have noticed a much smoother power delivery through the rev ranges so a much decent investment for a decent price off yahoo auctions as these are discontinued
