Possible damper idea?


ezzzzzzz

Recommended Posts

I am slowly heading towards my stroker/supercharger build. While at the local PNP I was looking at serpentine dampers on Nissans. The early 90's Stanza had a nice two belt damper that appeared promising. I pulled it to match to a stock L6 damper. The crank nose and I.D. and O.D. were smaller on the later damper. There wasn't enough metal to machine to size. It then occured to me that maybe another make of damper could be incorporated. The idea is to get a serpentine damper off something like a chevy that has a very close I.D. on the outer ring compared to the datsun piece. It could be machined to match the L6 hub, if possible. Alternately, the inner and outer of both dampers would be pressed off. These pieces would be sent to Damper Docter. They would fuse the outer (make unknown at this point) serpentine ring and the inner Datsun L6 hub. I don't know if the end results would be more accomodating/less expensive than the high dollar specialty pieces being sold. Any ideas and input?

sounds like a lot of back and forth for something that is already available in performance trim. Ross makes an L6 balancer and I think ATI has or is making one.

 

To get everything machined and pressed and checked, I wouldn't even begin to pretend that I know how much it will be, because you can get gouged on the price, people will not touch it, or you have a buddy that can do it for a good price or free, so it varies.
