Engine Torque Damper Options
 
Want to get a engine torque damper what are my options beside the ebay ones?

Im not really looking to spend 100s of dollars on this device but would like something that would just serve its purpose =)

Is there any specially made ones for rx7s?

Whats the airpump replacement idler? is that the pully?

Whats the price for the torque brace?\

Is it a straight bolt on mod? or do i have to cut or move stuff?

Yes a pulley mounted better than the others out there .Price is $ 125 in the US for the ETB about $ 10 to $20 more for Canada .IT is easy to move the ABS to drill four holes for mounting the ETB and put the ABS back in place .The job takes about 2 hours with bleeding the brakes .Do that or bolt on a junk one in 2 minutes .

IMO the ebay one still is the best value for money.
I drilled an extra hole in the fendermount on mine to stop it from hitting the ABS unit and put a piece of rubber from a leftover intake coupler between the mount and fenderwall to reduce vibration.
Otherwise all required hardware was included and all mounting holes lined up.

They are sold on ebay as torque dampers but they are really more torque braces, the damper appears to be solid, that's probably why soo much people complain about cabinvibration.
