Fluidampr 551231 harmonic balancer damper VW, Audi, Seat, Skoda 2.0 TSI/TFSI (EA888)
Fluidampr is a torsional vibration damper. Its function is to provide durability by controlling destructive torsional vibration. A side benefit to vibration control is releasing lost torque and horsepower through greater efficiency.
A Fluidampr performance damper is constructed from three main components:
- Outer housing
- Inner inertia ring
- Silicone fluid
Why silicone?
Viscous silicone maintains viscosity tolerance across a wide temperature range. Approximately -40° F to 300° F. This provides very consistent and predictable damping properties.
Excellent heat dissipation and low friction of silicone are other key silicone advantages.
Quality matters
Not all viscous dampers are the same. They may be referred to as a fluid damper, but they are not a Fluidampr brand performance damper. Always look for the official 'The Original' Fluidampr logo when purchasing. Fluidampr performance dampers are only available through reputable performance parts retailers, jobber shops and distributors.
Leading OEMs also trust Fluidampr, and parent company Vibratech TVD, because of our ISO 9001:2015 certified quality standards and proven experience in professional motorsports since 1985. Modern design and manufacturing advances pioneered by Fluidampr are used in Vibratech TVD viscous dampers. These include cutting edge military vehicles, extreme weather commercial vehicles, race boats and high-end sports cars.
Normal stock dampers wear out and engine performance upgrades increase naturally occurring harmful crankshaft torsional vibrations. Install a Fluidampr viscous damper to reduce wear on the main bearings and timing gear, achieve more accurate valvetrain operation and lower the risk of crank failure. Unlike rubber based dampers, Fluidampr automatically adapts to any engine modifications and constantly self-tunes in real time to protect across the entire RPM range. Features precision machined and computer balanced components that never need to be tuned or rebuilt.
Benefits of a Fluidampr performance damper
Protecting your engine from destructive torsional vibration is the leading benefit to installing a Fluidampr performance damper early in your build process. By doing this you can:
- Improve the life of critical engine components.
- Improve valve timing accuracy.
- Safely gain horsepower and torque through improvedefficiency.
- Optimize the performance gains of other add-ons.
- Superior damper durability and broad RPM range coverage are why champion engine builders trust Fluidampr.
