Engine Torque Dampener
Posted: Wed May 30, 2007 12:54 pm
I am having a little problem with a vibration in my car. When the car is at high torque low rev I get a vibration through out the whole car. 2 days ago my turbo nearly fell off, only had one nut holding it on. Ok I dont have the locking tabs to stop the nuts from coming loose but I made the nuts FT.
Now to me those bolts normally come loose when the exhaust is too rigid, but mine is not. I think the problem is, because the exhaust is so damn big and heavy, when the motor is at high toque and flexing in the engine bay it is turning the whole exhaust system (front to back) as I have no knuckle joint to allow it to turn on.
I have check the engine mounts and they are good. I have seen some sx's where they have a tie to limit the amount of turning the motor does in the engine bay. They are connected from the left hand side shock mount to the motor.
Anyone know where I can get this from or have any other ideas how I can solve this problem. This motor seriously flex's around, when it was on the dyno I thought it was going to rip out of the car.
