I remember the H6 part been called a Harmonic Balancer Crank Pulley Dampener Assembly ?? if so it is a 2 piece with rubber

I have had a look

I confirm that the crankpulley on my car does indeed feature an elastomer vibration damping rubber.

Therefore, not just any lump of metal can be fitted to EZ30/36

Time for someone to manufacture a decent damped low weight item ..............

It'd be great to see a lightened HB developed for the H6.
Jury is still out on the benefits tho?
Your headers got the H6 spinning up a lot quicker, so hopefully a LHB would accentuate that even more. :mrgreen:
I guess all would be revealed in development 8)

Great to see the H6 gettin some love!!

I came across this re lightweight pulley for H6 engines. I have no idea if they are compatible (diameter) with our supercharger kits

Bump for an old thread.
Confirmed that these do fit. NA and SCed H6s.
We have a handful of USDM 3.0Rs and 3.6Rs (including mine and Giovanni's Raptor SC'ed 3.6R) with these installed.
PnP fit, down to the replacement crank bolt head cover.

I also started work with Fluidmpr so that they can develop a 3.0R/3.6R vibrational damper for us!
They confirmed they'd need a new design after analyzing my OEM pulley. No ETA, perhaps 12-24 months out ;(

Would be great for top-end power and eliminating almost all signs of ghost knock - especially on SC/Turbo'ed H6s.

Right now they only have crank pulleys for EJ25s, FA20DIT, FA/FB20. Check them out!
