Default need good advice on crank dampend

Sup Cl, I need a lil help on the crank pulley, My OEM crank is going to fall off very soon lol. I been doing some research on the crank but I don't know which one to pick. I got four different crank to choose from.

1- Titan
2- ati
3- fludampend, i don't think that's the rite word lol sorry
4- OEM crank

I got a jdm GTE going for bpu+ set up very soon as well. So which crank is good for that set up. Thank you for the advice.

unless im mistaken the ATI and Titan crank pulleys are the same. the only downside is you cant use the OEM serpentine belt, you need one thats a little shorter

i havent heard of many people using the fluidamper on the 2jz's but they do make a good product and it looks like it uses the OEM belt and it doesnt have the rubber piece that fails on the stock damper

the oem damper is what i use cuz i love oem stuff lol, the only downside is it might not handle the higher hp ranges and the rubber piece will eventually fail

Ok, so OEM is outta the picture. I dont know Titan and the ati are the same, they look the same but the price on those are different..... the ati cost $80 to $100 more don't know why but yeah. What about
the Fluidampend, Any one know the info of it? How good, how well are they?

All 3 of them are acceptable but I prefer the fluidamper for its OE fit.
I will make a suggestion though make sure you get mic numbers for which ever you use and check the new damper they occasionally need to be sand rolled just a touch.

good luck!
