@vtuxen It seems you may be slightly uneducated on the R32 and it's haldex AWD system. The AWD drivetrain on this car is controlled simply by a fuse. Pull the fuse from the fuse panel and BOOM! Front wheel drive! So in response to your previous comment.. No this is not a fake ass R32, and no it isn't a fixed AWD only system.
lol you'd have to watch in HD to see the numbers, but i'll just save you the trouble.. 231.07hp/199.48ft. lbs. (fluidampr) vs 225.57hp/194.73ft. lbs. (stock) @ 6,084rpm That translates to a maximum gain of 2.5%, which is impressive considering that the balancer's primary purpose is to reduce wear on engine components. The graph also shows a much smoother curve, which tells me that it's significantly reducing vibration and thus performing that primary function quite well. Cool stuff guys!
Fluidampr is heavier than stock overall but people say it’s “true floating weight” of the actual metal ring spinning inside the fluid is less than stock.
@@zemil87 Not objectively sadly. But besides a remap and DSG intake the motor is still stock. Subjectively it runs (minimal) smoother after the install.
It looks like stock torque was 225 and stock horsepower was 196 and the fluidamper made the torque 231 and horsepower 199. I put a fluidamper on my 355 Lt1 Camaro and with a fully balanced and blueprinted motor I got 8 more horsepower and 7 more foot pounds of torque. What blows my mind is that a fully balanced motor should be completely balanced out with no vibrations even with a lumpy cam but it really did make a difference both in performance and made my fully built motor run even smoother.
By the way who the hell cares if this VR6 is AWD or FWD. The test was about how the fluidamper performs and I am a true believer. It's money well spent and add's extra life to any engine by eliminating vibration that can damage engine bearings and valve train parts on any engine.....

USP Motorsports for the win.

Recently installed this on our 2015 Golf R. Max gain was 12HP wheel HP at 5,600RPM with 19ft Lbs torque at 3,600RPM. Impressive little bolt on!
Is this better harmonics or less parasitic weight?

How about a video for the MK6 TSI engine
They never do 1.8tsi dynos
No jack stand ay?
Question what is the torque spec for the crank pulley bolt?
33, 94
Quite a late question, but has the Fluidampr the same diameter as the original one?
yes
@@zemil87 Thanks, can confirm, I already fitted it.
@@mxc_99 great ! Have you noticed any change ?

Just orders mine!
Look they are there....
Because I have Passat B6 VR6 3.2L
Dose it need any tuning?
lilde66 What would you tune for? Think about it.
Faster Faster Faster
I can see the graph looking good, but not the numbers. Can you post the numbers? Nice job, like always!
fake ass r32, r32 is AWD ONLY !!!
vtuxen You know nothing about cars
It’s an R32, he simply pulled the fuse to the Haldex All-wheel drive system for the dynamometer, so chill man. 4310/5000🇩🇪🚗
Gen1 haldex isn't permanent AWD.. educate yourself before posting shit lol 5amp fuse out and haldex deactivated
@@chrisaunger4744 No generation of haldex is truly permanent, Torsen is. You can program the haldex to your liking tho (also permanent).
How do I remove the stock pulley? Is there a certain pulley puller tool that works?
