What comes in the Torque Damper Set for DC5 cars?

The Torque Damper Set for DC5 cars contains an engine torque damper and a tower bar made specifically for it. The two parts are sold together as one set, so there is nothing else to buy to mount the damper. Check the set against the parts list when it arrives.

What does an engine torque damper do?

It limits how far the engine moves on its mounts when torque is applied or released. The manufacturer says that restraining this movement reduces power transmission loss, so more of the engine output reaches the wheels, and softens the shock that would otherwise be passed into the transmission.

Does it fit automatic and Type S models?

Yes. The manufacturer states that the set also fits automatic-transmission DC5s and the Type S, and that it covers cars from before and after the minor model change. In the Japanese catalogue it is listed for the model codes DC5-100 through DC5-230.

Will it help with gear changes?

The manufacturer does not make a specific claim about shifting. What it does state is that the damper restrains engine movement, cuts power transmission loss and reduces the damage passed to the transmission, so any change in shift feel is not something it promises.

Which US cars is it listed for?

The North American distributor files it under the Acura RSX, and the Japanese catalogue lists it for the DC5 Integra by model code. Because those codes are Japanese, confirm fitment for your RSX or imported Integra with Bulletproof Automotive before ordering.

Description

J’s Racing Torque Damper Set for DC5 Honda Integra and Acura RSX

J’s Racing’s Torque Damper Set for DC5 cars combines an engine torque damper with a tower bar designed for it. By restraining the engine as it rocks under load, the damper reduces lost drive and eases the shock passed to the transmission, according to the Osaka tuner, which has built Honda parts since 1989. J’s Racing Japan lists the set across the DC5 range, including automatic cars and the Type S, before and after the facelift. It makes sense on any DC5 that is driven with enthusiasm; a car that only commutes gently will notice it least.

Engine torque damper restrains engine movement under load

About J’s Racing

J’s Racing was established in Osaka in 1989, as VTEC engines and lightweight Civics and Integras were changing what a Honda could do, and it has built parts for Hondas ever since. The company develops engine response, suspension, braking, cooling and aerodynamics together as one system, then proves the parts in time attack, gymkhana, endurance and circuit racing. Its Fit lapped Tsukuba Circuit in 1’00.459, and its naturally aspirated AP1 S2000, the Maou car, became the company’s reference build for the Honda roadster. Every J’s Racing part is designed and tested in Japan, and J’s Racing USA in Carson, California handles distribution in the United States.

Additional Information

The Bulletproof Automotive website contains many thousands of products purchased in multiple different currencies. All of the prices are entered manually and accurately at the time of entry. Due to the consistently fluctuating international exchange rates, at times prices may not be able to be honored at their original intended rate. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, unfortunately our website is unable to compensate dynamically for what can at times be volatile changes in the cost of items due to currency values fluctuating, changes in prices from suppliers, changes in shipping and import duties, and other factors. Rest assured that any order you place on line will be at zero risk to you in this area. If in the event your order cannot be fulfilled at the original intended website price we will offer you a 100% refund, no questions asked. We will continue to do our best to maintain updated prices and we will always continue to offer our price match guarantees as well to ensure our prices are always the best for you. In short, prices may change without notice. It is always advised to give us a call prior to placing your order online to confirm availability and to confirm current pricing.

Shipping Policy

Items that are in stock in the US, either at Bulletproof’s warehouse or at a supplier’s warehouse, are generally delivered within 7-10 days. Special order items from overseas take considerably longer. As a courtesy Bulletproof offers delivery estimates to our customers which take into consideration manufacturer availability and shipping schedule. These estimates represent our best guess based on previous orders from the manufacturer and do not in any way imply a guaranteed delivery window. Many manufacturers work in a “just in time” inventory system and often take 2-20+ weeks to produce an item once an order is submitted. All deliverable items are then sent to our Japanese warehouse. Bulletproof ships a minimum of one full ocean freight container every month from Japan, oftentimes more than one a month. Ocean freight takes an average of 4 weeks. Typically it breaks down to one week in Japan for paperwork and customs, two weeks by boat and one week in US customs/clearance. Due to the wide number of variables between manufacturer and shipping schedules, delivery estimates are simply just that – estimates. We attempt to estimate conservatively and we usually deliver faster than our estimates suggest. It is not Bulletproof’s policy to guarantee delivery time of any special order item, this is impossible for us to do. By ordering you acknowledge that there is no required delivery ETA and an order may not be canceled or altered due to manufacturing or shipping delays, all ETA’s are provided as a best guess only. Please review the full Terms & Conditions here.

BP Pricing Difference

We do pricing a little differently on our JDM brands and we believe in making things simple and clear. No hidden fees or surcharges. Every price you see includes the shipping cost to our office in Los Angeles, California and all the associated taxes/duties/fees for bringing the products into the US. The only shipping you ever pay is from our facility in the US to your location. Be wary of resellers that don’t include the cost of international shipping in their pricing on JDM parts. While we believe we’ll always have the lowest all-in price on JDM products, we offer a price match guarantee for all authentic parts purchased from authorized dealers as well. For many international customers, it’s much more affordable to ship from the USA than from Japan directly, as the air freight and ocean freight costs are typically much less. However, for customers looking to ship directly from Japan outside of North America, or domestically in Japan, we can provide pricing specifically for that scenario. Please do not hesitate to contact us with any pricing questions or concerns. Please email us at sales@bulletproofautomotive.com with any inquiries.
