We're pleased to announce the availability of the all-new Fluidampr 2.7T Engine Damper for the B5 Audi S4/RS4! These performance-engineered crankshaft pulleys are in stock and ready to ship.

Fluidampr 2.7T Engine Damper, B5 Audi S4/RS4 & C5 Audi A6/allroad

Retail: $449.00 + Shipping

We're excited to announce the availability of a proper engine damper for the Audi 2.7T engine from Fluidampr! The Fluidampr viscous torsional damper is an essential component in building a high performance 2.7T engine.

The last 2.7T to leave the assembly line in Germany was over 10 years ago, meaning factory dampers are old and tired. By now, an original 2.7T damper likely has hairline cracks in the rubber ring which is robbing your engine of horsepower as it is no longer adequately performing the job it was designed for. Couple the aged factory damper with increased strain on the motor through modifications, and you've got a recipe for disaster.
Benefits:

• Decreased Flywheel & Gearbox Chatter (Especially with the 01E Gearbox)
• RPM Drop Reduction
• Engine Vibration Reduction
• Sized for an OEM replacement at 162mm. Does not over-drive or under-drive the accessories.
• Steel construction with Black Zinc plating to combat oxidation from the elements, unlike the OEM unit.
• (6) equally spaced M8 x 1.25 threads on a 77mm bolt circle to allow additional accessory drives (dry sump , external wet sump pump drive , etc)
• Proudly Made in the U.S.A.

Fitment:

• 2000 - 2002 Audi S4 (B5)
• 2000 - 2002 Audi RS4 (B5)
• 1999 - 2004 Audi A6 2.7T (C5)
• 1999 - 2005 Audi allroad 2.7T (C5)

Protect your engine.

A Fluidampr performance damper provides premium, broad range control of destructive crankshaft torsional vibration for optimum performance and durability. Install when horsepower and rotating assembly parts change to reduce wear on critical internal engine components. Features high quality, long lasting viscous silicone technology with precision CNC machined and computer balanced high-grade steel components.

SFI 18.1 approved. Race proven for over 25 years. Made in USA. ISO 9001:2008 certified.

Please Note: We strongly recommend using new bolts when installing this part! It is critical to follow the factory torque procedure for the crankshaft bolts.

Please don't hesitate to contact us via PM or email if you have any questions.

that's nice looking

[MacDaddy]

All those possible benefits would be reduced and possibly negated by the lightweight flywheel.

I must disagree, The reason I want one is because of the transmission chatter I have since installation of a lightweight flywheel. This should help to reduce that. The whole point is to add dampening that you lose from removal of the dual mass flywheel.

[MacDaddy]

so you spent hundreds of dollars taking weight off the back of the engine only to have to spend hundreds more adding weight to the front of the engine, so that the car will be the same as before you spent anything.

I'm not shitting on the product, it's probably not a bad idea for a built or high revving 2.7, but suggesting to pair it with a lightweight flywheel makes no sense.

No weight is added, just redistributed to dampen the harmonics.

I have this Fluidampr product, it is heavier than the stock part,

[treysgreen]

$450 is nuts imo.

[f4m0u5]

Id bet its heavier. But not 10+ lbs heavier like the stock flywheel compared to lightweight ones. So the crank combo would still be lighter then stock by a good amount . But with the added benifits of this product.

The point of a damper is to take care of harmonics... I don't see how this has anything to do with weight.

[Jmills]

Too bad they aren't making these out of Aluminum like they were at one point a long time ago.

How much more does it weigh, 1-2 pounds?

[slow ride]

That would be a good thing.

[Jmills]

That would be a good thing.

Good thing they are or aren't still making them out of aluminum?

[slow ride]

Are not. Lightweight aluminum non damped crank pulleys are NOT good for the engine. I don't care what someones uncle's brothers friend says ;) Coming from an engineering standpoint there is a reason for having a factory or better damped crank pulley, if it were not an issue the factory would not have put thought/money into it as we are always trying to make things cheaper. Plenty of discussions on these dampers online if people want to read up.

Agreed! I was referring to the Fluidampr itself. It is made out of Steel currently but it used to be made out of Aluminum.

[slow ride]

My bad, it could just be for this application, etc. This pricing is about the same for a GM LS engine so I can't say it's a terrible deal, but nothing to write home about either.

[FlyboyS4]

It weighs 7.2 lbs on my scale.

[Zba]

So is this the solution to the infamous "600wtq cracked my block" syndrome?

[Tjtalan]

Completely enjoy and appreciate the fact that you put that thing on a scale.

Lol!

[Blake2423]

So is this the solution to the infamous "600wtq cracked my block" syndrome?

No the fix for that is balancing the rotating assembly, align honing the mains and deburring the block. Throwing in a set of rods without balancing the assembly and expecting the added vibrations and stress to not break anything is just mental. Do those things and add this damper and I doubt you will crack the block.

Yes someone took over Isaams products.
He was telling me they were going to be
a limited run for the people on s2forum and
facebook. I guess now 034 and other's have
ensured it will be a stocked item. Awesome!
I currently have my deposit on one for the AAN
with Isaam. Unfortunitely those ones are a couple
hundred more. To anyone contemplating these
you will not be disappointed, great product.

[USephirothU]

For the heck of it I through my OEM crank pulley on the scale.. 01.5 OEM damper weights 7.8 lbs Fluidampr 7.2 looks like weight reduction to me.

But then again scales do lie.

[nynoah]

Fluid dampner = smother engine, ability to rev higher faster. Its the next level after a high speed balance of all parts when building an engine. No one can go wrong with adding a fluid dampner. Sadly they don't make one to allow AWM 1.8ts to keep their AC. Otherwise I would get one in a heartbeat.

When Issam (iABED Indistries) got started on the 2.7T Fluidampr project , he approached a few companies for their involvement to bring a product like this to market. We were one of those companies, and were excited to get on board. We've had a great business relationship with Issam for many years, and have used Fluidampr crank pulleys on countless 1.8T, 2.0T, and VR6 builds over the years.

We're excited that it has finally come to the 2.7T platform, and have a few units left in stock from the initial production run. Thanks to the popularity of this Fluidampr 2.7T engine damper, there will be another production run, and we hope to keep them in stock moving forward.

AAN and 3.0 TFI Fluidampr products will follow shortly, and we expect the same great results we've seen with the 2.7T Fluidampr, and the rest of the Fluidampr product line.

Thank you for the orders this week!

I weighed my stocker and it's less, 4.6 lbs.

[treysgreen]

I retract my former statement about the price. If the benefits are as great as the feedback in this thread attests to, this is a great price.

[vavJETTAw36]

I bought my my car recently and it already has the LWFW and boy does it chatter at low rpm high gear. I wonder how much this would actually reduce it. I'd like to reduce it rather than pull the tranny. Can anyone speak to this?

Pul the trans for what? Installing a DMF? Just downshift for crying out loud

[zillarob]

That chatter is mostly a function of flywheel weight and what disk you have.
What fw and clutch setup you running?

This damper is more for calming down the harmonics in the crank itself.

[vavJETTAw36]

Fidanza lwfw / vast stage 3

[zillarob]

The lighter the fw, the worse the chatter. I think Fidanzas are one of the lighter fw that people commonly use so that is going to be part of the prob.
Condition of the trans prob factors in also.

What was the vast stg3 setup? Do you remember if the disk is built on an aftermarket center, or was it a refaced oem disk?
I think the springs and the way they are arranged on the aftermarket disk hub makes the chatter worse.

My JHM/034 alum fw setup just barely chatters with the oem style disk hub.
Have heard Fidanzas make awful racket with an aftermarket style disk hub.

[USephirothU]

I'm running an AWE flywheel with RS4 pp and project b5 sprung disc. I get a fair amount of low RPM chatter with this setup. Especially after installing ECS lightweight crank pulley (600 grams). The aluminum pulley lightness and mildest damping properties seemed to increase my chatter below 1800 RPMs. This is especially noticeable for me with first to second gear changes. I plan on switching back to stock to see if I notice any change but might take the jump and upgrade to the Fluidampr after seeing some results first.

I figured my scale was off considering that JHM lists OEM B5-S4 Crank Pulley Weight as Measured by JHM: 4.4 lbs.

[zillarob]

Yup, thats going to be one of the noisy ones.

I bought the car already with it already in. But he did give me a build gallery. I don't see the clutch disk in this and I was wrong its a south bend:

[landfill]

My southbend stage 4 and their single mass steel
made a good amount of chatter but it held up to
500whp launches and abuse for a couple years. So
I'd say it might be one of those things you just have
to live with.

[zillarob]

Oem style disk and looks to be one of their stg2 setups?
Shouldnt make too much racket, a little if you lug it, but not obnoxious. Really shouldnt be any different than mine.

Stg4 is a different pp and aftermarket style disk so will be noisier.

[034Motorsport]

We still have a few of these 2.7T Fluidampr Crank Pulleys left in stock.

Took mine out for a drive today.
