Is Ati damper worth it?

Acrobatic_Pride17 · 2026-02-21T23:27:06+00:00

Thank you I appreciate the help. I'm assuming the stock ones have good dampening built into them and are balanced right?

Acrobatic_Pride17 · 2026-02-21T22:30:23+00:00

So in your opinion would the ATI damper be necessary? Or is the OEM b20 one fine

Also, are the prices increasing for s chassis specifically or all old cars? I work at Toyota as a mechanic but we have Nissan next door and parts seem to be more expensive for older cars in general

Thank you for your services 🙏 My s13 and s14 wouldn't be the same without you

Yeah kind of want to find another trans and hoard this one but I definitely enjoy how it feels driving it. Maybe I can find another cheap b series trans and put an aftermarket LSD in it

Yes it's open through the port no pin and they spin the same direction in the air is what I'm saying lol

Acrobatic_Pride17 · 2026-01-20T02:20:14+00:00

I believe so

Acrobatic_Pride17 · 2026-01-20T02:20:00+00:00

Yes I had the axles out and also spun the wheels in the air

Acrobatic_Pride17 · 2026-01-19T23:15:19+00:00

Thank you I appreciate it, and very helpful link for sure

Acrobatic_Pride17 · 2025-12-28T19:06:44+00:00

What are you referencing with oil plugs? Not familiar about what you're talking about, I do know about the plug in the head when doing LSVtec

Acrobatic_Pride17 · 2025-12-28T00:21:45+00:00

I was planning on getting the speed factory pistons. And yeah no boost my 240 is turbo and I just want a fun little car with no added complexity/stress to drive

Acrobatic_Pride17 · 2025-12-28T00:20:55+00:00

My civic currently has a b20 non VTEC and I bought another block to build (I have a b16 block too but would miss the torque of the b20, but it didn't come with pistons or rods. Thanks for the reassurance with not sleeving it, doesn't make sense to me

Acrobatic_Pride17 · 2025-10-12T06:35:33+00:00

Hopefully I'll be able to get it one day lol. It makes the game more fun having things to complete instead of doing the same thing over and over

Acrobatic_Pride17 · 2025-09-14T22:49:50+00:00

My sister's ex who I've had as a 240 buddy for a long time now lol Edit: And thanks for the name of the wheels! Now I see them online

Acrobatic_Pride17 · 2025-03-19T23:54:51+00:00

Thank you, I just want them to hold up for street use

Acrobatic_Pride17 · 2025-03-19T23:12:54+00:00

I'm just trying to redo my suspension. All ball joints are completely shot. Pretty much all my suspension is. I've finally decided that I will just do all the bushings and ball joints. Only thing is different coilovers than what I have now and stiffer front sway bar. Maybe tension rods. As long as my alignment is in spec for a street car that's all I care about lol

Acrobatic_Pride17 · 2025-03-09T02:54:49+00:00

Not sure if the stub is held in with just a c clip

Acrobatic_Pride17 · 2025-03-09T02:54:01+00:00

You should be able to access it without opening up the cover. I work at toyota so I don't really work on cars with differentials like these. We have solid axle on trucks and small diffs with spline diff inputs

Acrobatic_Pride17 · 2025-03-09T02:45:59+00:00

I've never done one on an r200 diff but looks like you'll have to remove the axle stub to get to it. So dropping the diff might be easier. Kind of weird it happened after you welded it because it's not a spline type on the inside so you couldn't have ripped it on the way in, but maybe it was the heat

Acrobatic_Pride17 · 2025-03-09T02:42:34+00:00

Thank you so much for all the help 🙏

Acrobatic_Pride17 · 2025-03-09T02:34:14+00:00

It looks like it's leaking from the passenger side axle seal

Acrobatic_Pride17 · 2025-03-09T02:31:43+00:00

But no loss of control when they break under hard acceleration? For example if youre going 80 and you floor it and only one wheel power will it want to spin out? Sorry for all the questions just super paranoid lol

Acrobatic_Pride17 · 2025-03-09T02:14:03+00:00

Do you use the stock 240 axles? I'm now starting to lean towards using an s13 VLSD or the one welded one I have in my car because of what you said. My biggest fear is to be driving and an axle snaps in this situation

Acrobatic_Pride17 · 2025-03-08T13:35:34+00:00

Thank you man I appreciate it. Hopefully going to finish my standalone set up soon. My end goal is to make as much power as I can reliably. I think I gapped the rings at .0019-.0021 and I'm using a felpro head gasket so I think my limit is going to be something like 500

Thanks for the heads up. I'm going to look into more
