even in the super fruitcake miata community, this is known and understood:
Flyin' Miata : Engine/Drivetrain : Internals : ATI Damper pulley kit
"We`ve found that really high horsepower Miatas - over 280 hp - have been overwhelming the stock harmonic damper. This can crack the gears on the oil pump as well as damage the bearings from the hammering. We worked with ATI to develop this replacement damper to solve the problem. You can read more about what harmonic dampers do here.
This unit replaces the stock damper with what is essentially two in one. The result is not only a safer engine, but one that runs more smoothly all the time thanks to the improved vibration absorption. This is exactly the opposite of billet "underdrive pulleys" that remove the stock damper. We`ve seen those destroy a typical turbo Miata engine in a couple of thousand miles."
ahem. carry on your useless non-engineering level of existence. class dismissed. |
lol, i love you mike.
..Also, those yellow pulley's above are made my NAPREC of Japan, its a $1500.00 set.
Be a baller.
