Hi,
just wonder will a new Mitsubishi oem crank damper work well compare to aftermarket damper (ATI / Fluid / Etc)?

Hope the new oem crank damper provide at least 80% of reliability as the aftermarket damper.

Please kindly share.

Thanks

 

Anyone???

 

Why wouldn't the OEM one work. It works just fine, and i definitely wouldn't buy a ATI damper. You'll find plenty of info on a search.

Thanks for sharing...

 

This all is going to depend on the rest of your setup. If your stock, keep the stock one. An aftermarket one will not benefit you in any way. For one the fluidampr is a pound heavier and ati is over 4 lbs heavier. If you have changed things such as rods and pistons it would be a beneficial part if you are running considerably higher power levels.

There's plenty of debates you can find by searching, by imo fluidamp is the way to go. It doesn't need rebuilding like the ati does.

Currently running the aluminum Fluidampr.

 

Thank you so much guys...

My current setup :
GT3076R
GSC S2
JE Pistons
BC Rods
Oem Crank & Valves

Will a new Oem crank damper able to work more or less like an aftermarket damper?

 

Your brian crower rods will fail long before any damper -- so pick what evers cheapest.

 

Thanks Guys...

But some guys here told me Fluidamper can slightly increase Torque & Hp...

Is it true???

 

I'd go with the oem dampner

 

Thanks Mellon Racing...

 

Is that the steel Fluidampr you're talking about or the earlier aluminum one?

 

I think my alum one is 2 lbs lighter then the steel version so if his nath is right, it would be 1 lb lighter then stock

 

The information in this thread is very poor. Most people don't even understand the function of one. Having something to absorb the engines vibrations is a very good idea and increases longevity no matter what. The weight of one has such a small effect on performance it's ridiculous.

I'd run a fluidampr on any built motor, the OEM one was designed around the factory engine and power levels.
