Every time you step on the gas your engine torques to the side as it transfers power through the drivetrain to the wheels. This effect wears out motor mounts and can cause a sloppy drivetrain feel on takeoff. One remedy to this problem is Honda Civic engine torque dampers. Aftermarket Honda Civic engine torque dampers work by mounting between the top of the motor and the chassis to reduce the amount that the motor can move laterally. Here at Andy's Auto Sport we have a fantastic selection of Honda Civic engine torque dampers for you to select from. With dampers from all of the top brand names you are sure to find the perfect unit for your application in our collection.

In principle an engine torque damper works a lot like the shock absorbers on your suspension. However, instead of damping suspension motion, they serve to limit the twisting motion of your motor and absorb drivetrain shock. This is especially important if you are running a high-performance engine because the added power can transmit more strain to the motor mounts then they were designed to take. If you are building a high-powered race or street car, be sure to consider Honda Civic engine torque dampers to help keep your engine and drivetrain working well for years to come.

Q: What is an engine torque damper? Why buy one?
A: According to Ingalls, "An engine torque damper is engineered to reduce deflection under hard acceleration and cornering for improved performance and power to weight transfer. Deflection in the motor mounts, as with the chassis and suspension, is a formidable enemy in power and weight transfer, robbing valuable horsepower and control. They eliminate the huge amounts of torque shock that result from wheel-hop and once installed they transfer more power to the road and improves acceleration, shifting, overall control and balance."

Q: Will an engine torque damper help prevent motor mounts from wearing out faster?
A: Engine torque dampers can definitely help prevent premature engine mount wear, although they are mostly used to help eliminate torque shock from wheel-hop and to help keep more power to the road.
