Well what due you guys think about fluid dampeners? Since my motor is at the machine shop being balanced would this benefit me or is it a waste of money with a balanced motor?

 

i love my fluid damper. i think that everyone should get one if they plan on running higher RPM. i just like having the piece of mind.

 

A good upgrade for guys running Billet front cover TC or Dual Disc set ups.

 

everyone I know that has one says they work great. they say they take alot of vibration out. I would like to try one out. the money tree stopped dropping 400 a wack

 

Oh, I agree with you all just didn't know how much difference it would make with a balanced motor though. Were balancing everything from crank to piston rings.

 

you must be pretty serious about winning something. should run really well now. who is doing your work? if you dont want to post it I understand.

 

In a few weeks I will install the DD sprung clutch I bought. If it is really noisy/rattly, I might buy one. I have read a few threads where guys say a Fluidamper really quiets a DD clutch.

 

They work great with the DD the Fluidampr helps with the added weight of the DD.

 

I have been told now that if you have a fluid dampener you almost have to take it off to change the belt. Is this true?

 

On a 3rd gen you will have to remove the fluid Damper to change the belt. It is a real tight fit. Tim

 

Yeah but belts dont break on a regular basis (knock on wood!).

For any built motor Fluidampr is a must. Not only does it reduce vibration but it wont seperate into 2 pieces like a stock unit can.
The stock dampers dont like 4k rpm's and become dangerous up there.

Even with a balanced motor your still going to have torsional vibrations from the combustion events (basically when the engine is running).

 

I recommend fluid dampner to everyone I talk to

I have a few picture on here of a broke stocker and the fluidampr.
