Destructive Torsional Harmonics or How to keep your cam bolts from backing out...

Hello all,
Overdue update. SEMA and sickness created a delay.
We're taking the bull by the horns and using my 3.6L that's out of my car and instrument it to generate the data everyone is looking for. Will take a few weeks to do this. My engine is getting boxed up today and being sent down to California. Also have to put a variocam harness together for the engine management on the engine dyno. We're trying to fast track this so that you all can get your damper.
Thanks all,
Jamie

Looking forward to the results, but have learned to be patient when it comes to laboratory testing.
Good Luck

Haven't shipped yet, as we're doing the first instrumentation. Engine is on the engine dyno, finishing up the harness to run the variocam. Should have results before the holiday and ship dampers...
We're pushing to have this all done before Christmas as I want to put my own car back together! The damper being run is the prototype from my own car, so I'm definitely vested!

Hi All, sorry for the long silence. Engine ran on the dyno all instrumented up over the weekend. Still doing more runs and crunching numbers. Should be done by the end of the week. I'll post up some pics of the rig we've got running...
Based on the data, we'll review the elastomer performance and tweak if necessary. Should be able to release these bad boys very soon!

Things have been slow and I apologize to all following and patiently waiting for us to release the dampers. Our engine guru has had quite a lot of turmoil in his personal life that has spilled over into his professional life. We're pushing to finish the testing in the next couple weeks and in the mean time we're going to release the dampers for sale. I'll update in a few days when they come in from ATI...
Thanks in advance for your patience!

Is Neil Harvey (Performance Developments) involved in this? Sharp guy with a lot of talent. I seem to recall he's been on top of this issue as well.

Interesting thread but no conclusion on data.

Sithot:
Yes Neil is involved and doing the testing...
We've completed the initial testing and dampers are on their way to me now!
We're doing the testing again with porsche factory testing to demonstrate using the same tooling. This will take another few weeks. I'll report more once we have it...

They're here!
Hi All,
We have the dampers and bolts in stock. Please reconfirm your still in and we'll get them moving. I have the images from the oscope, showing the trigger wheels are in sync. We are redoing the testing with the Porsche factory harmonic equipment...
Feel free to call/text/email as well.
302 - five 21 -23 zero 7 (call or text).
