Ingalls Power Stick Installed

bioevolve · 09-07-2007, 11:20 PM

It came in today, will be installing it Saturday morning.

Take the 3 main 17mm bolts out

Point the rubber end down

Perfect circle to the fenderside and the oblong circle to motor side

Match up length of stock dog bone

Turn with pliers or small wrench to a slight angle, cause body to motor is not a perfect horizontal line. Motor end is a little lower.

ETD will not fit due to the c-clip and washer and mount bar in the way, pushes the ETD over into the pointy bolt and will not go any further. You must grind the side of the the ETD bracket closest to the Power Stick to make it fit. So I just took the ETD off. I wanted to see what just the Power Stick would feel like by itself.

It's in and done.

Only issue I have with it is these two washer spin freely, I would like them to be tight.

ETD reverse = Heavy Vibration
Power Stick = Virtually Non-existent

ETD 1st grear slow to med = moderate vibration
Power Stick = Very little Vibration, feels like a dampened light feeling (kinda relaxing)

Wheel hop 1st gear launch 5500rpm levels:
ETD = Little
Power Stick = Moderate
Stock = Lots

If you want super duper little wheel hop go with both w/ ETD grinds.
If you want little wheel hop and don't care about the vibration go ETD.
If you don't like the vibration but alittle more wheel hop go Power Stick.
If you don't like any of it, stay stock.

I'm sticking with the Power Stick, the light vibration is very pleasant and less annoying.

Is idle vibration worse?

bioevolve · 09-07-2007, 11:47 PM

Virtually none with power stick.

***07mugencivic*** · 09-07-2007, 11:48 PM

what does that do

Hot_Chocalate25 · 09-08-2007, 01:46 AM

thanks for the pics of the install. I ordered mine yesterday. looks like an easy install.

PR_S14 · 09-08-2007, 09:43 AM

I'd like one of these with an all metal bushing. Wonder if any plans are in the works? Nice write up/review!

SpeedDemon · 09-08-2007, 09:56 AM

Worth the 110?

sounds kinky.

so does this mod only reinforce the torque damper?

bioevolve · 09-08-2007, 10:26 AM

Started the car from a cold start, it's alittle bit less vibration than the ETD during warm up until optimal temps are reached.

ETD = Vibration felt thru the pedals, seat, floor board and steering wheel.
Power Stick = Vibration is felt thru the pedals and floor board.

ETD = Dash board shakes and the coins in my center console rattle.
Power Stick = No dash board vibration and the coins don't rattle in the center console.

bioevolve · 09-08-2007, 10:30 AM

It's helps with wheel hop during launch.

I think it's worth $110 and $155 for the ETD, it all depends on how much power you want to the pavement and the amount of vibration you can handle.

Yes, it does sound Kinky lol.
Less movment of engine is accomplished with the Power Stick and ETD, that slapping motion is kept under control during hard launches.

xfactorwrx · 09-08-2007, 01:20 PM

on my to order list now... thanks for the review +1

SiRyan · 09-08-2007, 02:08 PM

Nice, this will be my next mod

954K20_SI · 09-08-2007, 03:59 PM

wow! great write-up! I plan to pick this up and the stiffy mount!

bioevolve · 09-08-2007, 04:21 PM

Grind this part off to make the ETD fit with the power stick:

SiRyan · 09-08-2007, 04:58 PM

thats weird I thought they would make those two to compliment each other...

Jandonian · 09-08-2007, 05:53 PM

Etd..?

***Izzy*** · 09-08-2007, 05:55 PM

Engine Torque Dampener.

***F-1 Si*** · 09-08-2007, 06:15 PM

Why doesn't the "Stiffy" and "Powerstick" work together without mods? I'm S.O.L for 3-4 weeks due to a fractured should. I can do bolt ons but not ones that require modifycation. Grrrrrrrrrr!
