Hey I want you guys and girls to know this channel is high quality , the mic quality , the music mastering with your voice is on point , thanks for being so humble and sharing this building tips and tricks !!

Thanks Jay! As usual only the best informative info on part's we see everyday but not really understanding the importance of them until explained in detail! Realstreet's the Real deal.

This one video made me subscribe, and I've literally never seen any others. Informative, concise, and it doesn't go traveling off into unrelated territory to beef up the runtime. Great video, I will definitely be back for more.

Thx for your tech tips. Theyre very useful and contains topics which normaly nobody thinks about. After watching this video, a few months earlier, i purchased an ATI for my rb26.

Jay's Tech Tips back at it again! Super informative and great source of information! You are doing the work that many wont take the time to explain, appreciate it @jay

Great vids that I always keep coming back to. I wish Evan or Jay was on the west coast for sure. These are two tuners that I would love to have at my disposal to tune with.

Just installed mine and I must say what a difference it made. Little to no cabin vibrations now.

Honda F and H series from Accord and Prelude where 2.2l-2.3l had extra balance shafts in the block that ran along with the crank driven by a timing gear.

best channel on KZfaq 👍🏻thanks

My builder literally made me buy one and ditch the 'lightweight' crank pulley on my Subie. Heck, it could have been a culprit for all I know. Thanks Jay for another good video to show people real life scenarios and actual facts. This is certainly one part that gets overlooked on many modded cars. keep up the good work on the videos guys!

Thanks man, I finally found some no bullshit information on balancers for my build.. Cheers

Omg thank u sooooo much bro…especially going into details 💯💯

Damn! I never knew about this car part and this video was incredibly informative! Thank you!!!

Favorite car channel period. Great info from legends in the industry. I’d love to see some N54 content, it’s a very affordable platform for your average joe, that can also make good power

I'm in the middle of my 2jz build and I was using a cheap "flashy" aluminum pully set. I had no idea how important having an actual damper/balancer is. Thank you!

Music is on point, I learned something on that note lol

thanks for your time! great video

Thank you....good info.

Good info, thanks man

Without the vibration damper, the engine experiences torsional vibration - the front of the crankshaft moves back and forth with respect to the flywheel. This can cause a very rough running engine at certain speeds and the back and forth rotational motion of the crank will eventually overload the rod bearings toward the front of the engine ultimately leading to failure.

Thanks for sharing

Even a new fresh oem style one is a good idea if your on a budget until you can get a good one, if needed for your hp level

Hi Jay 🙋🏽‍♂️ Just i would like to know your experienced idea about 2jz wobbly timing belt between intake cam shaft pulley and crank pulley while engine revving around 3,000 rpm... Thanks for experienced ideas 💡 Regards

How about underdrive pullys and the rumors that engine accessories will suffer? Can they still dampen out engine vibrations as well as factory? thanks

Thx for the video

Thanks from England.

Probably one of the the smartest in the business

I'm thinking the ATI pulley might be a bit too tight for mine. 1.3820 inches crank snout OD vs 1.3745 ID ATI hub.

What about a video on how to ensure TDC on a 2jz when the engine is sealed ( i.e. Head and oil pan on )

I change to Work Engineer lightweight pulley on my K car, which they claim to have pro balance technology. I am not sure how safe is it, still monitoring after a year plus.

good video Jay

I would love to work at Real St. and meet Jay

Exactly what I am going through right now. Bought a 1987 E350 ford. Motorhome and its just fucked everything. Belts burned snapped off, blew transmission line and snapped another belt clean off. Thank God I noticed the rubber dampened sticking out and mentioned it or they wouldn't have fixed it or noticed. 🤦‍♀️

I have a Honda crx which came from the factory with no dampening at all just a steel pulley I "upgraded" to an aluminum one and had the machine shop balance it. After watching this it makes me want to put on a heavier stock dampener. Since the alum one weights less than a pound

i had my chevy 383 stroker internally balanced. i am running the 400 balancer on it now. but im about to change it to a 6'' street balancer. is it going to throw off my internal balance ? and cant i just change out the short timing marker for the longer one to keep the correct timing setting ?

Good Demonstration

Please don't tell me I need this on my 156K 1999 Ls1 Camaro I get a bad vibration at a low RPM if when in Park, Neutral, or driving at a low RPM like under 2KRPM. Been doing it since 140K miles. Will I ruin the bottom end of the engine or driveshaft? I try to run it at a higher RPM and it goes away.

I can't find a balancer for my mazdaspeed 6 the balancer is toothed for the crank position sensor maybe that's why they are rare

Hi, I just installed an ATI Super Damper with 2% overdrive and lightweight hardware on my MINI R53 and I’m hearing like a wiring sound, almost like if there’s a strong airflow going through the pulley, is this normal or could have possibly installed it incorrectly like maybe too close the the wall and it’s scraping? Thanks!

Can a bad SFI harmonic balancer that's gone bad ....keep eatting the front seal out of my 302/347?? I keep having to replace them ...and when pulled out they look like a dog chewed them up ...also it's a Supercharged build ??? please help ....

If its bad, does it throw the belt off a bit to shred it on 1 side?

My evo 8 got balance shaft deleted now I getting buzzes at certain RPM would this pulley help? Thanks

There is an alternative to Fluidampner or ATI, dayco powerbond.

I'm doing a diesel engine swap. It's an older Cummins A series inline six. Made before the famous B and BT series. This engine is the outside size of a 300 CI Ford inline six or a GM , JEEP inline six. I'm having to fabricate everything about this swap including Flywheel and Bell housing. I gotta get with Cummins and see if they can recommend a balancer for the front because it only now has a direct drive V pulley. I have a couple inches between the flywheel and the back of the block. Would it be a good idea to mount a harmonic balancer on the flywheel itself to help the whole engine be smooth? This engine has a cast iron crankshaft which I thought was odd. I sure don't wanna break the crankshaft as I've seen done before when using cast iron crankshafts. I'm wishing to use Teflon around the flywheel bolts to take out part of the jarring when the clutch is engaged. Would this be possible to take the shock out of engagement of the clutch?

What is your background music? I want to use it for my podcast

How about having the rotating assembly of the engine balanced? I am a fan of that for helping to reduce engine vibration.

what about light weight aftermarket harmonic balancer on a built 200 HP na civic d16 engine

Hi, iv been looking at your real street dampener and fluid dmaper. The only reason I look at fluid damper is its self tuning. The Ebay real street model does not say the Durometer specs. Also videos say you need to tune the ATI. Is their a safe window for a 2jz-na with bolt on's that Rarely sprays nitrous, that i can buy and bolt on without tuning? Thank you.

Thanks buddy,I’m into vw air cooled and the harmonic balancer does not exist from factory so would it pay to put one on thanks 😊

Do you need to boil if you use the installation tool?

Can i get one for my chev 350 to add power?

Subscribed.

Where can I get one like that for my car.

how'd you get the instrumental for this track? would really appreciate it.

hey guys ,so a bad harmonic damber can affect the power and rpm of my car ? i have a sportage 1996 gasoline with harmonic damper just cracked :(....

Hi I had 2x crank shafts broke of behind nr 4 big bearing can that be the reason for not use a damper

Can anyone tell me which brands and/or sizes will fit my 87 mazda 323??? Please???

Will a lightweight flywheel needs a different tuned harmonic balancer?

I'm running perrin lightweight crank because it really does free up hp and i dont mind rebuilding after 150k to have reliability but thats my opinion

I have a lightweight flywheel in my Honda B series build. No power steering, no AC. Should I use a good aluminum crank pulley?

I have an under drive pulley kit on my K series.. Does the ATI pulley replace that or run off a separate pulley.. Thanks

Let’s say my car doesn’t have an ati damper application, would a simple $100 aftermarket/replacement harmonic balancer react the same way as the oem?

Elastomer vs Fluid?

Not looking for a ton of hp or looking to be at high revs all the times so a lil lightweight forged aluminum crank should last a bit ?

Quick question! On my B18C I want to run the alternator only * no power steering or a/c *, but I want it to still charge my alternator for accessories like headlights. I have heard the *RACE* Damper will not charge well on a bseries. Is there any way to use the Race version on the street or buy a super damper without the extra a/c and p/s pulleys?

Dp you suggest the Dorman replacement for the jz motors?

Should have added something about underdrive/ overdrive pullies. Alot of people run them that don't even have dampening

I made the mistake of buying and eBay lightened underdrive pulley/dampener for my DSM it completely change the low RPM and start off characteristics of my engine it was like having a lightened flywheel I had to go ATI to get my daily drivability back.

I bought a fluidampr instead of an ati super damper both are Well worth iT

Hi, I have a question, so I am looking into getting a lighweight crank pulley for my car but as you've said it can't absorb the vibrations at high rpms. But my car only produces 90hp stock from the factory and the rpm redline starts at 6.5k rpms. And Im mostly just daily driving at decent speeds at around 3.5k-4k rpms. So is there alot of vibrations in those kind of rpms in the first place?

I accidentally turned the bolt on the harmonic balancer off of spec trying to replace belt any how I noticed vibration at speed how do I reset it back to spec?

What about light weight under drive pulleys???

I didn’t have a damper on my b series turbo and u guest it 😢

What brand are good harmonic balancer s?

Ross gold balancer or ATI and why?

This is an old video so hopefully you can answer my question, but is a fluid damper needed if you're running a stock engine with an aftermarket light weight flywheel since it's a recipricating part of the engine? Reason is I recently installed an ACT light weight flywheel on my s2000 ap1.

If you get these random vibrations during idle, could it be harmonic balancer? Changed to solid mounts 3 yrs ago and have this vibration during idle. Almost seems like care is about to stall out sometimes.

What about honda engines? are they just pulleys or "harmonic" balancers?

Hello which brand is better under drive pulley. One by summit or jet performance. I have a 2014 Chevy Silverado 1500 5.3 z71 LT. Suggestions plz

Been running solid well-balanced aluminum crank pulleys on several different tuner engines over the years and haven't had any of the failures stated.

Question for you if you don't mind.. I have an Audi a4 Quattro 2.0t. It's engine is stock, but even after replacing the engine mounts and the transmission mounts, I'm still getting some vibration when I put the car in gear. I'm not moving, jus in gear with my break on. Do you think that could be my hermonic balancer? The car drives great and ONLY vibrates when I have my foot on the break and put it in gear..

I'm planning on having the ATI super damper installed on my 07 Z06 with an 10% under drive. The OEM just doesn't last very long. I'd rather pay 3 or 4 times the price over OEM than to have to deal with it again sooner.

can the balancer rubber ring slip and cause the timing marks to slip

for the 2jz setup, which one is better, the fluidampr 840801 or the ATI super damper

Should there be any slack between the crankshaft gear washer and the timing belt? Reason I ask is the ring/washer rides against the belt and was unsure if the ring/washer is suppose to spin freely between the gear and belt after the damper is torqued down. Thanks.

If I installed a good broad band harmonic balancer at the same time I install a single mass flywheel, how far will that go toward cancelling out the classic gear rattle issue? Probably not 100%, but any experience with that? (On mk7 GTI w/ 6spd MT, if that matters...)

So I read some replies and still don't know. Not sure of the difference on balancers and dampeners. Still go in the same spot right? Front of the engine? My engine (350 Chevy) vibrates a lot at higher rpms. I was told it could be the flywheel or clutch plate...then yesterday a transmission guy says it's rare and he's never seen that before. Says its gotta be the balancer.....???

Why does this come up in my recommended one week after my OEM balancer's rubber disintegrated in the middle of a cruise...

Can I run this on a rotary?!

why do dodge srt4 engine builds always end up deleting the harmonic balancer? anyone have some insight on that?

Is there any way to "build" your own pulley? There's a company called that makes a prebuilt ATI pulley for my motor, but it's $800.

i kinda want a ATI damper for my na 2jz 🙄

Is there any aftermarket option for H22a7 engine?

Im glad you popped up everyone else talks to much

so it's a bad idea to swap out and install an aluminum crank pulley?

i have vibrations in the car from 1200 to 2000 rpm engine feels smooth in the time the car vibrate rb26dett r33gtr any idea

The hub is only a balancer... ? this is nothing about the oiling system at the base ?

what are your thoughts on fluid damper or is ati better

After setting timing on a 2002 PT Cruiser does the harmonic balancer need to be on to crank it

Can anyone please let me know if a harmonic damper will make a whining noise when it’s bad I have a 1999 vw golf 2.0 and there’s a whine that seems to come from it
