Simple except that I already have the Steeda camber plates, that it looks like I won't be able to use with the B16. All the spherical bearing mounts use a reducer bushing to step the ID of the spherical center down to shaft diameter, so that isn't an issue, but the shorter length of threads on...
The B16 struts are designed to reuse the OEM strut mounts, which means they have to be the same diameter as OEM, but the length of thread may be different.
If they will work with OEM strut mounts, they should work with the OEM adjustable mounts.
Steeda says their camber plates won’t work with Bilstein, so which ones will? Or is there a way to make it work? No idea what the actual issue is until I get the car torn apart.
Did you ever resolve this issue, or can anyone else confirm this amount of deflection is/is not normal? Looking at the amount of structural ribbing on other units especially the Whipple, the Edelbrock cover looks pretty wimpy.
Bump, interested in these too. They appear to be cast steel and use the OE style spherical joints. This is a better design than I've seen in most aftermarket solutions.
I've got a full kit P/N 158380 purchased from Evolution with a CNC ported head unit by Kong Performance, everything new in unopened boxes except for the head unit which Kong repackaged for return shipping. I've been on the fence about actually doing this install or staying N/A and I'm leaning...
Don't the '18+ cars have a dual disc clutch also? IDK what the weight of that is relative to the OE single disc, but that could be a reason for Ford to add mass to the harmonic dampener if they're larger/heavier than the 15-17 motors. But because the fluid damper and friction type dampers work...
Based on the other quotes above, the stock HD pulley is 11.98 lbs. Can someone confirm that?
I'll reply with the weight of this unit when I receive it in the next few days.
The housing is aluminum and the hub is steel, and of course the inertia (mass) ring inside is steel. From the...
How does this unit dampen harmonic vibrations? (What mechanism is used)
Edit: Found the answer in an NHRA article from 2019.
" The Innovators West harmonic dampers are unlike any other on the market currently. Innovators West dampers are friction-style dampers, made almost entirely of...
