Have run in to a little snag..I have a procharger and want to install SFI damper but seams all the ones I have tried dont play well together.

What do you all run?

Jeg's has one in their catalog for about $100 cheaper than the ATI, it's a Jeg's brand. ATI and Fluidampr both sell them but I always hear the Fluidampr ones are crap. Personally when I finally get around to buying one it will be the ATI.

Forgot ATI also makes a balancer. Really was meaning ATI Procharger.

I have tried the Fluidampr and the CAT damper.
The CAT was the closest to fitting.

The problem is the blower pully center step is to big for the CAT while the Fluidampr is not even close.

Thanks, will check in to the JEG's and the ATI damper.

Why not machine down the pully to fit? Take to a machine shop and have them put it on a lathe and turn it down some, i know you can't with the dampner cause of sfi rules...

I believe this is what Nick from Nutek has done before. IIRC, he machined as much off the crank pulley as he thought would be safe and shimmed the blower pulley the rest of the distance needed to make it line up.

I am running a ATI balancer on my car with a D1SC 12 rib setup. Nick at NuTek machined down the spacer so that you can use a ATI balancer with the ATI pulley. It works very very good. Fits nice and tight and everything lines up great.
