Engine Damper

[Tkca18det]

Hey Guys

A friend of mine is looking for an engine damper for the CA I looked over the parts post but no reference number and not really sure if one from another engine would work, SR im sure it wont.

I think is called the harmonic damper? not really sure

Ping me if any info

Heyy Float thanks!

I´ve seen those on my search and they look pretty nice, but they are kind of expensive, how much would a used damper cost? I know ebay doesnt have em but I was hoping someone had one laying around hehe

I guess if we cant find em he will need to save money on order those hehe

Never seen one used, unless you're looking for a stock one. They are really nice. I have one on my motor. LOL!

This is the balancer i'm be using on my current build, I'd suggest contacting them direct and not buy the eBay one as i paid $75 less than what the eBay Buy Now price is.

Is this a real harmonic balancer, not just a solid piece crank pulley? 'Cause $225 for a brand new piece sounds like a deal, if it is. That's half of the Ross piece.


Edit: just read the item description. Seems like it is indeed a true balancer. I guess I'll stop looking for an old/bent/chipped stock one. I'm just not sure underdriving the alternator is a good idea. Is it?

[D_Stirls]

yeah its a true full balancer, the under driven altenator will only worry you on idle, and how much time do you spend idling.

[Tkca18det]

Wow those look very convinient for the price, I´ll have to check in and see if we can get em from AU cause we live in Costa Rica latin america kinda hard for us to get stuff and when we do get it, its freaking expensive! thanks !!!

If anyone stil wants to throw in a used one we ll be happy to buy

BTW yeah i mean a stock one hehe

Could you tighten the stock belts enough to account for the "shorter" length?

[D_Stirls]

Apparently not, I haven't got my built engine running yet but the posts on NS.com from the people who fitted these said that they needed to buy new belts. Still they are only around $15 each, and i'm not running an aircon so i'm only up for $30. Compared to the $6000 i've spent on the engine i think i can lash out on some new belts.

EDIT!!

Found the post from NS.com;

Some numbers:

Stock ---- PowerBond 20% underdrive

Weight grams: 3285.1 ---- 2554.4

Belts:
Alternator 4PK0855 ---- 4PK825 approx or nearest
Aircon 4PK0845 ---- 4PK815 approx or nearest
PS 4/3PK0835 ---- 4/3PK800 approx or nearest (check if yours is 3 or 4 lines)

Diameter ~150mm ---- ~120mm

Hi D_Stirls,

do you think you could buy another one of those units at that price, and mail it to me? I can paypal you price + shipping + what you deem fair. (I'm in Hungary, Eu. Ausmail quotes $52.90 for a 4kg package by sea mail, don't know if there's a more economical way)

I've contacted their distributor in nearby Poland, but they can't really be bothered to help...

I'm very interested in this as well i'd love to get my hands on one of these units
