New Release Product Install: ATI Stock Replacement Damper

MAMotorsports · 10-15-2015, 01:05 PM

ATI has been a proven force in the aftermarket damper industry for many years, we have been using them on the VK56 engines in our competition 370Zs with no issues. When they came to us about redesigning a damper to work on the factory 370Z Wet sump engines we were more than happy to help them out!

What we have here is a factory spec damper that runs a factory belt, and will clear the dipstick tube. Fitment is spot on and the engine is running smother than ever! I know there have been some issues in the past with a few people on here getting the ATI Damper that was designed by another shop, but not noted to ATI that it was only for a dry sump application. That is all fixed now and ATI is aware of all the fitment notes.

For those of you not familiar with an aftermarket damper, it is designed around the idea that a motor spends more time under extreme abuse (Higher rev’s), and with the issues we have seen on the VHR motors, every little bit of protection helps.

The Install was done on a customer’s 2009 370Z with 70k miles on it, this car does not see the track, but is driven spiritedly on the street. As you can see, the stock damper is already starting to fail. I see a large amount of people out there with “Underdrive Pulleys” on these motors and that scares me, that takes away any cushion the crank has and places the vibrations into the motor itself. That is why you see many of them braking or snapping the center. For not much more than a factory replacement, you have yourself a very nice aftermarket safety net.

Install was very strait forward, pull the old pulley off, measure crank and clearance the ATI hub to spec (Listed in the instructions) and install the ATI Damper.

ATI Dampers can been seen on nearly every IMSA, or other endurance raced Z for a reason, they are worth every penny.

PM ME FOR PRICING ON THIS

I will just call ATI directly. I knew about this for a while as they were working on it but they wouldn't release a beta version to me at the time of development unless I was a know entity.

Either way I copping this.

The pricing I received from ATI last week was off (Much to high) They had to go back in and figure out the correct pricing, should know today and I will shoot off PMs!

The hubs are designed to be a press fit with a certain clearance, since not every Nissan crank is 100% the same the hubs are made on the smaller side of the spectrum to make sure they will fit all cars.

I should for sure be better priced than going to ATI direct, they wanted to avoid sending one out into the general public before any sort of fitment was 100% tested after so many people had issues with the dry sump version.

Thanks for being patient guys!

And how do you clearance the damper. Scotch-Brite, sandpaper, or machine?

The correct hone/mandrel would be needed so I would use a machine shop, but I would say most cranks will not be so far out of the spec that honing is needed honestly. Just want to make sure people are aware that it MAY need to be done for proper fitment.
