Interesting views on AMS

Ive got a competition clutch single mass lightweight flywheel to go in, if the standard pulley is damped I probably wont get the ams ones if they are not, dont want to risk it

 

It's your choice but from the reading ive done it wont make a difference. I'm sure z1 uses one on their n/a build.

Stock pulley has some dampening. Yes it does upset engine balance removing the stock front pulley.

 

We Have taken DEs apart that had lightweight crank pulley and have seen noticeably more wear than engine that have stock pulley.

 

It's a big V6 with no timing belt to absorb valve train harmonics. If anything they should be getting proper dampers not no damper.

So if in doubt, check with someone who knows.

Since this is asking opinions on AMS products.......please do a lot of research on their products before you commit to buying them.

 

They are well known in the Z32 scene for selling defective, or half arsed badly made parts. Many of them are poor copies of other peoples items.

Are they another arm of a well known British based parts dealer who make parts for jap cars? :stir:

Their reputation in the US is possible worse than who you refer too.

Im sure they do know what theyre selling and for the most part they sell great products however after digging in and finding alot of information on AMS I am no longer willing to put these or any lightweight pullies on my car. I understand people havent had any issues but its not a risk I will take. I like to fit the best parts I possibly can on my cars and its a shame I won't fit these but its not worth the potential problems down the line and a few bhp.

 

I find it does pay to dig deep and research a product no matter how small
