About Fluidampr

The installation of a Fluidampr damper or Fluidampr crank pulleys can offer protection from vibrations and can also help increase horsepower. LMPerformance carries Fluidampr crank pulleys for your Chevy, Dodge, Ford, GMC and Pontiac. Shop our Fluidampr crank pulley products for an increase in performance!

Want to control the vibrations caused by torque spikes? Try a Fluidampr damper for your engine. Not all cars use Fluidampr dampers and smaller gasoline cars (below 1.3 ltrs) don't need them. On the other hand , if you have a high performance diesel engine and are running chips and programmers your vehicle can be particularly affected by torsional vibrations. If you do need Fluidampr dampers, however, you won't go wrong with a damper manufactured by Horschel Motorsports and known in the industry as Fluidampr. Horschel Motorsports has been manufacturing dampers since 1946 and has the expertise needed to create a quality product like Fludampr.

The outstanding engineers for FLUIDAMPR's parent company, VIBRATECH TVD, were the discoverers of the viscous torsional vibration damper that was being used in high power diesel applications back as far as 1946; then in the beginning of the 1980’s the premier racing engine builders wanted to accommodate professional motorsports with viscous damper technology. Their goal was to replace the elastomer harmonic balancers being used in race cars with the viscous damper because the rubber in the elastomer harmonic balancer did not stand up to the heat demands in racing and as a consequence the rubber lost its ability to protect the expensive race car engines. As a result of this undertaking the FLUIDAMPR brand of performance dampers was born and they continue to have a preeminent place in the marketing of SFI 18.1 spec, premium crankshaft dampers sold for domestic, import and diesel street use and motorsports applications. The VABRATECH TVD engineers have been perfecting the use of silicone for over 65 years and their introduction of this fluid in the FLUIDAMPR product is a testament to their ingenuity because silicone retains its stability across a spectrum of extreme temperatures and it has outstanding heat dissipation qualities. They, likewise, designed the FLUIDAMPR performance dampers with a free rotating inertia ring within a laser sealed outer housing because they knew that shearing a free rotating inertia ring back and forth through the silicone would remove vibration energy, convert it to heat and dissipate it through the sealed inertia ring housing and concurrently would control vibrations and protect the engine. Because of the outstanding protection given to the engine by the viscous damper they are originally equipped in high-quality sports cars like the V-10 Audi R8 and the LAMBROGHINI GALLARDO and the Ram 6.7L Cummins diesel trucks but you can have the same outstanding product in your race car with the FLUIDAMPR performance damper. Replacing the stock elastomer harmonic balancer in your car just makes sense because it will protect your car’s engine across a broad range of frequencies and will afford more protection as magnitude increases throughout the RPM range and remember the sooner you do this the sooner you will be protecting that expensive racing engine. Peruse the FLUIDAMPR dampers on the LMPERFORMANCE web site and find the one best suited to your car and beginning protecting your car’s engine today. Looking for pro-damper shocks?
