New at Summit Racing: Fluidampr Harmonic Dampers for Import Performance Cars

Import performance cars can be more negatively affected by torsional vibration than V8-powered American muscle. Import performance engines are smaller, usually run at higher rpm, and many have turbochargers. These factors can create large amounts of torsional, or crankshaft vibration. This vibration only gets worse if you've modified the engine for more power.

Fortunately, Summit Racing now offers Fluidamprís latest Harmonic Dampers for late model Subaru, Audi/VW, and Scion cars. A Fluidampr uses viscous silicone fluid between an internal inertia ring and a laser welded steel housing to control all crankshaft vibration--not just a limited frequency range--at all rpms. That means reduced wear on the main bearings and timing gear, more stable valvetrain operation, and less chance of crank failure. Oh yeah, you also recover horsepower and torque lost to torsional vibration.

What's more, the inertia ring freely rotates inside the housing, which keeps up to one-third of the Fluidamprís mass off of the crankshaft. That provides excellent damping while still allowing the engine to rev quickly.

Fluidampr Harmonic Dampers are CNC-machined for precise fit and balance, and are SFI 18.1-certified for racing use. They won't crack or separate like rubber-based dampers, and never need to be rebuilt or tuned.
