Torque damper?
I was just wondering if any one here is using a torque damper and do they like it? Im thinking of getting a universal one and making bracket for the sc4..

You feel more vibration in the cabin from the engine with those torque dampers. If you don't mind it, I would not spend too much on it.

its a waste of money. if you dont want the engine to move get some stiffer or solid motor mounts.

I have a Vertex one, It's pretty expensive but Ueno hooked me up at TAS this year. It's pretty stiff but I am also using Kazama Motor mounts.
I don't mind it cause I drift my SC.

Well the reason i was wondering about these things is because like anyone with a roots style blower on there 1uz i have my upper raditor hose running between the belt. When at high torque my motor torques just enought for the belt to touch the hose... I havent found a good way of redirecting the hose, so i was thinking this might help. I do have new motor mounts so its not that...
