GROUP BUY INTEREST - Fluidampr Harmonic Dampner

[90/90qs]

Still possible to get on the AAN buy? I'll just figure out a different solution if necessary for my 60-2 (if I'm not too late)
PM me.

ABY is in development.
I hate to sound like a broken record but how hard would it be to convert to an AAN set up?
It would almost make more sense to have everything on 1 single belt.

im intrested also in aby one..

So it can be done a pulley for ABY ? So 2 V belt and one poly ? What's the price ? Thanks@

Please say AAN.

Ok, will do. Just put me down for a damper. Thanks.

I need to get in on this. I need a setup that will work with a tall block stroker. The 185mm 2.5 TDI Eurovan setup looks perfect for me. Is that using the 3b waterpump as the tensioner? I can't tell from the photo.

Just email me the specifics.

Thank you both for replying. Since I have both an AAN and an ABY it's time to update the list and contact Brian:
- mac2226 x 1
- FRP x 2
- Wizard-of-OD x 1
- VagOrBust x 1

Yes please do.

I think I might have to jump on this one (AAN), but I have 2 questions:
1) clearance between my crank pulley and intercooler is minimal, did I read correctly that I'd lose 8mm of clearance?
2) I have an 034 60-2 wheel which off the top of my head is welded to the accessory pulley... Wondering if there will be a compatibility issue or if I'd need a different solution.

1. You won't lose any clearance. If you have room for an AAN pulley , you have room for one of these.
2. Which accessory pulley? Do you have a picture?

Yes just to bump this thread, the first batch of ABY fluid dampers will be shipped to me in about 3 weeks, if you wish to add to the order please get in touch at briantonks@tonks4x4.com, as I don't get to visit on here very often of late...

Hello Issam,

Since I'm doing a refurbish of my AAN next spring I'm interested. This also means that the balancing won't a problem, since I'll be upgrading the internals so that's a must anyway. But if I understand correctly I'll have to convert from V-Belt to serpentine belt.
Is that doable if I want to retain all the original AAN items at their stock locations? I'm guessing adaptations to the hydraulic pump, AC pump, the generator and some rollers and tensioners? Maybe someone has done this before and can give me some idea how doable this is?
Also, for my ABY: Will this dampener become available for ABY?

Thank you for your time.

If you have an AAN then this will be a direct swap for you. If you have an ABY , Brian Tonks is taking care of that market.
