Installation Instructions for 93041
Ingalls Engineering Stiffy ™ Engine Torque Damper for 2003-2007 Honda Accord 2.4L 4cyl
The Stiffy ™ Adjustable Engine Torque Damper is engineered to reduce deflection under hard acceleration and cornering for
improved performance and power to weight transfer. Deflection in the motor mounts, as with the chassis and suspension, is a
formidable enemy in power and weight transfer, robbing valuable horsepower and control. The innovative, built-in damper eliminates
the huge amounts of “torque shock” that result from wheel-hop and once installed; transfers more power to the road and improves
acceleration, shifting, and overall control and balance. The adjustable feature allows the assembly to be tuned and pre-loaded for
racing and street applications.
CAUTION: Observe proper safety and repair procedures for installation of all chassis parts. Some chassis parts require
specialized tools and experience and therefore MUST be installed by a qualified technician; otherwise and unsafe vehicle and/or
personal injury could result. Wear safety glasses and other protection.
WARNING: Before beginning, check for any damaged or loose suspension connections. Loose connections here indicate worn
or broken parts which MUST BE REPLACED. Failure to replace a damaged or worn spindle and/or link may cause the wheel to
separate from the vehicle, possibly resulting in serious personal injury. Installer MUST check for proper clearance. Modification(s)
may be required. Please proceed ONLY if the vehicle owner is completely aware of these potential suspension modifications.
Estimated Installation Time: One Hour Technical Rating: Easy
Included Parts List: Required Tools for Installation:
1 - Stiffy ™ Engine Torque Damper Metric Sockets
1 - Engine Bracket Metric Box Wrenches

Step 1: Under the hood, locate the passenger’s side upper strut mount and remove the two M8 nuts that secure the
strut tower brace and the three M10 nuts (FIGURE 1 - Arrows “A”) that secure the strut to the strut tower. Lift the
vehicle by the front subframe and support with jack stands so that the passenger lower control arm can hang. Push
down on the tire and wheel assembly and lift strut tower brace and fit Chassis Mounting Bracket between the strut
tower and strut tower brace as shown in FIGURE 2. Secure strut tower brace and Chassis Mounting Bracket using
the provided M8 and M10 silver flanged nuts. Tighten the larger M10 nuts first. You will reuse one original M10 nut
on the rear most strut tower stud.
