The torque gain at the torque peak was 4 lb/ft at 5300 rpm with a maximum gain of 7 lb/ft at 4200 rpm. We figure the power increase was due to the improved attenuation of vibration from the engine.
With the new Fluidampr we immediately noticed that our B18C was much smoother than before throughout the entire rev range. We were pretty impressed with this as the B18C is a pretty smooth engine, to begin with.
The way the engine now felt was somewhat reminiscent to the B16A which is known to be a smooth revving engine due to its short stroke and good rod ratio. Although our power gains were modest, we are sure that the Fluidampr will do more as we modify the engine for more power later and start putting more stress on things.
Stay tuned for more to come with Project DC2 Integra we have more stuff coming very soon.
