Engine Torque Damper

Lives on the Forum
Get stiff engine mounts and it's not needed. A solid torque brace will add a bunch of NVH (Noise, Vibration, Harshness). The mounts won't necessarily add as much, depending on the style of course. I've got Mazda Comp mounts and they're quite civil and decently stiff.

soooo, their strut bar incorporates the engine torque bar. What if you already have an aftermarket strut bar brace??
i guess this dampener would be the next option...

anyone know where to purchase something like this??
I couldn't find the one posted on RB's website... but it looks like they may still carry one according to http://www.mariahmotorsports.com/engine.htm#TORQUEBRACE

I just fabbed one using some 1/2" EMT tubing.
The ends were flattened & drilled.
It was easier/cheaper than high performance engine mounts.
It ran from the TMIC bolt sleeve to the strut mount.
The LIM & UIM are plenty strong enough for the TMIC connection point.
A short piece of fuel line on the stud threads under the strut mount nut isolated the the tube from the chassis.

Wow, I just looked at how old that picture was.
The torque brace was one of my first mods.
It was still working untill the crash.

Nice one SureShot!
Well, after some extensive searching, I think I will fabricate my own.
Here is a link to Racing Beat's torque brace:

Personally I'm not a big fan of the RB design and I know I could engineer something just as good and something a little more cosmetically appealing!
Big ups!

I don't care what it looks like so long as it keeps my engine from vibrating. I do need to look into some stiffer engine and tranny mounts though as well.

If you get the competition mounts from mazdatrix itll pretty much take care of the engine movement. I got them and my engine barely moves at all, and thats with a pretty violent bouncing idle. Even at worst its barely noticable when it catches at the bottom of the bounce, where as the old mounts it was all over the place and the idle was a lot smoother.
