debating if i need an aftermarked crank damper for turbo gsr 450-500hp rev limiter 9300.....any difference between fluidamper and ati? fluid vs elastomer

and between street and race version?/aluminum vs steel...... not using powersteering/ac too

 

ati here!

 

X2 Street car has Ati and drag car has Fluidyn

 

go w/ ati

i had an issue w/ my fluidampr due to it having an aluminum hub

 

ATI on my B-series, Nissan L28et, and soon to be on my 2JZ................heard of problems about the fluiddamper silicone in it hardening

 

BUMP! I want to see some more suggestions/opinions I will be in the market for one myself and i have heard more props for ATi...

 

ATI for the win -- never heard a bad thing about running the ATI damper

had it on my race car for 4+ years now and have sold a bunch of them to other racers that are running them with great success

 

fluidampr

 

if you are asking if you need one, technically from a rules standpoint, yes. iirc at 11.49 you need an sfi damper.

and i cant say which one is better. i have had the fluidyne street damper on my now 9 sec car ( he hee had to say that) and it has been there since 06 on my old b16. never had any issues.

and i have plenty of friends that use the ati.

 

Either brand is so much better than oem

 

ATI here. although i wish they updated the degreeing on the pulley, its set for V8, Maybe it was just mine..

 

ATI here race version steel hub.

 

I had a question, I read an article way back when, and AEBS ran stock ITR dampers cause they said they worked better than aftermarket up to 10000rpm. I think that was back in 2001 though. Does there statement have any weight anymore?

 

fluidamper is steel now, i waited a few months for the steel one because of their issues with the aluminum ones

 

fluidamper here.

 

x2

 

Every time I call ATI they act like I'm bothering them.

 

my ATI has 350 degree's on it, it seems to line up with the engine. ?

we been running the ATI super damper/engines on both of our cars since 04.

 

FLUIDAMPER FTMFW!!!!

 

here is something that compares ati vs fluidampr

+1

 

good old American marketing. why should anyone believe what ati has to say about Fluidamper? they have both been in the market place for over 5 years and I dont think ive seen a single case where either caused a crank to break.

id say this one comes down to which one you can get the better deal on.

 

that was back before there were sfi models made for the b-series. and they were comparing it to the single aluminum pulleys of the day.

 

haha, im just passing along a website that i had found a while back

 

more details why you chose ati or fluidamper? besides price and which one between steel and aluminum i should get?
