Crankshaft Pulleys & Harmonic Balancers
If you're grappling with issues like crankshaft failures and oil pump breakdowns in your BMW 6-cylinder engines, you're not alone. Even seasoned mechanics can overlook the critical aspect of harmonic resonance control in these inline-6 motors, despite their optimal configuration.
Enter ATI Performance Products in collaboration with VAC Motorsports, presenting a solution in the form of new dampers tailored for BMW 2.5L, 2.8L, 3.0L, and 3.2L straight-6 engines found in various models like the E36 and E46 M3, E9X, and E6X, as well as newer Z3s and Z4s. These dampers effectively nullify crankshaft harmonic vibrations, paving the way for enhanced horsepower and torque output, alongside a reduction in internal engine wear. Say goodbye to issues like fractured oil pumps and timing chain mishaps! By pairing these dampers with a VAC accessory pulley, you seamlessly replace the OEM balancer. Featuring a 7” outer diameter and OEM-style timing alignment tabs, these ATI Super Dampers boast SFI 18.1 Safety Certification, ensuring they're competition-ready.
What sets the ATI SuperDamper apart? It's the remedy for vibration woes in inline 6 engines, especially those equipped with lightweight clutch and flywheel setups. Expect diminished wear on bearings, engine accessories, and oil pumps, all while being compatible with underdrive pulleys.
Included in the kit are the damper itself, a lightweight VAC Billet Crankshaft Pulley, along with all necessary mounting and installation hardware. Note that it's not compatible with S50B30 & S50B32 Euro Engines. For street/track vehicles with air conditioning, opting for the Additional A/C Pulley Option is imperative, given that the OE A/C pulley isn't compatible. Rest assured, all required mounting and installation hardware is included, and the entire package is proudly Made in the USA.
The ATI Super Damper, meticulously designed for late-model 1.6L Mini Cooper engines, stands as the top choice and a rarity with its SFI 18.1 Certification, ensuring optimum performance for your MINI Cooper.
Enhance the performance of your Mini with the ALTA Lightened Crank Pulley (LCP), engineered to increase horsepower and torque. Available in 0% Stock Sized and +2% Oversized options, this pulley is crafted from 6061T6 aluminum, weighing only 0.65 lbs. Significantly lighter than the stock crank pulley, the ALTA LCP ensures improved engine efficiency without adding vibration or noise. The +2% Oversized pulley provides additional boost for Supercharged Cooper S models, delivering safe and reliable performance. With increased belt contact, this pulley reduces wear and enhances durability, making it a must-have upgrade for Mini enthusiasts.
Upgrade your MINI Cooper with the ATI Super Damper, a top-rated and SFI 18.1 Certified replacement. Designed to fit 2001-2006 Mini Cooper and Mini Cooper S models, this damper is engineered to dampen torsional crankshaft vibrations across all RPM levels, ensuring smooth and reliable performance. It serves as a vital shield against engine harmonics and is a direct replacement for the OEM unit. The 6-rib serpentine belt drive and laser-etched timing marks offer precision and accuracy. Please note that a belt tensioner tool is necessary for removing or replacing the factory belt, and the ATI puller is not compatible with this damper.
Understanding the criticality of harmonic resonance in BMW inline-6 engines, ATI Performance Products has collaborated with VAC Motorsports to craft revolutionary dampers. Designed for BMW 2.5L, 2.8L, 3.0L, and 3.2L straight-6 engines in E36 and E46 M3, E9X, E6X, Z3s, and Z4s, these dampers tackle harmonic vibrations, unlocking heightened horsepower, torque, and longevity. Forget about broken oil pumps and timing chains!
Pairing seamlessly with VAC accessory pulleys, these 7" diameter dampers boast OEM-style timing alignment tabs, ensuring a direct fit over OEM balancers. Notably, all ATI Super Dampers exceed SFI 18.1 Safety Certification for competitive use, making them a must-have for BMW enthusiasts. Benefits extend to eliminating vibration issues with lightweight clutch and flywheel assemblies, reducing wear on bearings, engine accessories, and oil pumps, and harmonizing with underdrive pulleys.
Plus, each package includes the lightweight VAC Billet Crankshaft Pulley, proudly made in the USA for uncompromised quality assurance.
