I've had my Fluidampr on for nearly a year. I can't say it has done anything as I don't feel any difference and I'm not taking apart the motor to inspect bearings, but after quite a few track days, autoX and a good bit of street driving... My motor still works.

 

Well that's a great sign to me haha

 

I wouldn't run a fluidampr on start up all the fluid is on the bottom hence crank out of balance my chassis builder went threw 2 cranks in bigblock chevey because of it yicks and these were full out race motors so you can only imagine how much a crank was.... also inline pro has my motor we are gonna be shooting for 900ish and they said to keep the stock one!! so id listen to jeremy

 

So you're worried the fluid is at the bottom and not the heavy steel ring?

 

My tuner said the same thing about fluidampr (not about liquid but blowing motors). He went thru a few motors and went to ATI hasn't had an issue yet.

I just saw success with fluidampr on here, it doesn't need rebuilt, and is easily removed with the tool.

So idk smh.

 

Its actually a silicone gel and the steel ring balances itself while the engine is running. The steel ring is completely free to move so it can't really be out of balance.
Audi R8s and Lamborghini Gallardo use the same style of damper form the factory. Also Fluidampr Sister company makes these for big rigs and the majority of the industry uses them. They go 500,000 miles between replacements. They clearly don't spin to the same RPMs but with 1500 to 2000+ ft lbs of torque and ultra longs stokes, the vibrations are far greater than our cars. We have extensive data on our site showing the damping effectiveness.


Each tuner obviously has an opinion. It would be hard to say Fluidampr is at fault?
If Endyn has never blown a 9000+ PRM B, K or F series motor does that mean the Fluidampr is the reason?

We tested 3 different Fluidampr designs and all three kept crank twist under 0.2 degrees across all harmonics, even past 8000 RPM where the OEM start to lose its effectiveness.

 

awesome info

 

Also the Fluidampr confirms to SFI 18.1 Spec which means spinning at 12,500 RPM for one hour. Hard to be out of balance and do that?

At the ATIs confirm to this spec as well..

 

Fluidampr seems fine to me I send you a Pm Mr URGE

 

Hey with this Fluidampr, does it actually help with motor vibrations with the S2000 motor? We all know this motor vibrates like crazy and breaks manifolds all the time. I would like to know if this can help the severe vibrations caused more around the 2500-4000 rpm range.
