    EPL/Fluidampr Overdrive Crank Pulley Dual Pulley Group Buy

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!


    For a limited time we will be offering a group buy for the 3.0T Fluidampr stock size and Overdrive crank pulleys for existing or new EPL customers ONLY.

    The Fluidampr design is a 2 piece setup with a stock sized fully dampered 162mm crank pulley and then the larger overdrive size pulley attach over the stock size pulley. Once the 162mm Fluidampr is installed it only takes 30 mins to change out the overdrive pulley sizes. Right now Fluidampr has a limited amount of 162mm, 179mm and 183mm set ups available and more will be available in 1-2 weeks. On our in house dyno during testing we saw a small but good repeatable HP gain with just the 162mm stock sized Fluidampr. The retail price for the 162mm (stock size) Fluidampr is $699 and the 179mm and 183mm pulley that attach to the Fluidampr are $199 each and any size over 183mm will be $249 each. Don't worry we also have larger sizes coming soon.

    For the Group buy we will be doing $649 for the 162mm (stock sized) Fluidampr and $149 each for the 179mm or 183mm pulleys. Fluidampr/iABED have a few in stock ready to ship and are making more as well.

    The Fluidampr viscous torsional damper is an essential component in building a high performance 3.0 V6 TSI Supercharged Audi/Volkswagen engine.
    We recommend you read our FAQ on Fluidampr technology to understand why this product is right for you.

    A unique project between iABED Industries & Fluidampr to battle the concerns plaguing the 3.0 Supercharged engine such as:

    1. Failing OEM crankshaft accessory pulley
    2. No viable solution for crankshaft pulley upgrades in the future
    3. No modular design
    4. Inability to add Stage 2+ power with a safer and more effective dampened crank pulley


    When faced with these problems, we took everything we learned from the industry & the Audi community and went back to the drawing board. How do we design a damper that will be a viable replacement to the OEM (Part #) as well as be a modular design.The main issue facing Stage 2+ owners was the inability to keep the OEM pulley intact. The rubber elastic ring holding the assembly together would either crack or completely tear apart resulting in the mass amounts of billet aluminum replacements being produced.

    Make no mistake , this is not a block of metal chewed out to have 13 grooves. After 10 months of engineering and prototyping we proudly present the world's first viscous torsional vibration damper for the 3.0 V6 Supercharged motor is here with its multi function design , a user once installing the Fluidampr can upgrade to a larger supercharger drive in under 20 minutes. No longer the need to put the vehicle into service mode or change the supercharger pulley once the Fluidampr is installed.With the unique modular design users can go from Stage 1 to Stage 2/dual pulley with a simple add on drive on pulley which mounts to the face of the Fluidampr.

    Key features

    • Decreased Flywheel & Gearbox clatter (Especially with the 0B4 gearbox) . Flywheel clatter can be heard when converting from the OEM dual mass flywheel to a single mass flywheel (whether steel or aluminum)

    • Decreased engine noise and increased smoothness on 7 speed Dual Clutch Gearbox (0B5) as well as 8-speed Automatic equipped chassis

    • 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 of the elements unlike the OEM unit

    • (6) equally spaced M8 x 1.25 threads on a 81mm bolt circle to allow additional larger supercharger drive pulleys to be installed without the need to change out the core unit

    • SFI 18.1 certified

    • ISO 9001:2008 certified

    • Proudly Designed in Canada

    • Proudly Manufactured in North America (U.S.A & Canada)


    Software pricing

    Existing EPL customers will get free shipping on the pulleys in the lower 48 and the dual pulley file will be $249 instead of the normal $449 to add dual pulley after the original purchase.

    New EPL customers can get the Fluidampr Overdrive pulley in 179mm or 183mm, stage 2 (with CTS pulley and belt), dual pulley tune and flashing cable for $2649 shipped in the lower 48 and CT residents have sales tax

    Or new EPL customers can get the Fluidampr Overdrive pulley in 179mm or 183mm, stage 2 (without CTS pulley and belt) and flashing cable for $2249 shipped in the lower 48 and CT residents have sales tax

    also please email for any quote with E85, 100 or 104 octane, CTS intakes, AutoTech HPFP kits, or flashing tablets if you don't have a windows laptop, etc

    Great deal here. Especially for those that aren't tuned yet. I've been working with EPL for a while now, and they've made some serious power for my A7. I'm currently running their dual pulley e85 tune and autotech hpfp.

    I think EPL is the only tuner right now with a e85 tune and pretty much every other gas octane and the ability to flash to stock...all from home.

    Maybe this is a dumb question: I'm currently APR stage 2, can I add this crank pulley (larger than oem) and will the APR tune utilize the extra boost or will it just blow off?...

    I am not sure how the APR tunes work, but you can't really just add the crank pulley and get the full benefits of the power without the proper tune. Same as if you added a SC pulley without a stage 2 tune.

    The pulleys started to ship so we will be ending the group buy on Sunday at midnight. Get your orders in by Friday or at least a PM or email of your confirmation to buy before Sunday at midnight. As of Monday the pulleys and dual pulley tunes will be going back to regular price. Get those orders in now.

    And for those waiting on testing data:

    This is a cliff notes vs the OEM.

    The "lightest" version = @ 4500 rpm approx 25hp / 35 lbft of torque LOSS - increased vibrations
    The "heaviest" version = @ 4500 rpm approx 2hp gain / 3 lb ft of torque GAIN - significant decrease in vibrations

    The "middle" version which became the basis for the production pieces showed a decrease in engine vibrations but made 8 Hp & 11 lbft of torque GAIN over the stock.

    This is same diameter , same day , same seat position in the car....same everything.

    Consensus , you have to draw your own conclusions from this data if this product is worthy for you.

    I've been running the oem file for the past few days just to get 91 oct back in the system. The dual pulleys really make a difference even with an oem file. A lot more low end grunt. Pretty cool being able to switch files at home!

    Chris/Tony - any update on the dual pulley 91 file?
