[Ross Balancers For Rb26 - Who Has Bought One Recently?]

I've just ordered a new Ross balancer (the basic metal jacket one) for my 300kw RB26 @ 110,000kms stock 8400rpm redline, doing it as a bit of preventative maintenance together with engine/trans mounts.

Speaking to them, since they were bought out by omega 2013-14, there were several design changes to alleviate the tendancy of the old ones to spit power steering belts, as well as repeatability for more consistent manufacturing batches.  They have since introduced their own in-house CNC machining.  Their balances are also serviceable for around $300 (replacement of the rubber cartridge).

My tuner also mentioned he prefers the placement of the crank trigger (potential future upgrade together with ECU) on the Ross.

I know alot of people has since moved on with ATI, they mentioned around 50% of their sales are overseas with NZ being a big customer base for them, interested if anyone can add any insider knowledge here regarding these?

I know of one guy that had a Ross dampner on his 30, which failed.. not sure exactly what, but IIRC the snout broke. I've also heard of others too locally. Since then, they moved to ATI, and haven't had such issues. Not saying that the ross dampner is to blame, as it could also be other issues, as the RB30 crank is prone to breaking if unprepped, or being nasty with the clutch.

Unplug the harness from the big 2 connectors near washer bottle and feed it inside your guard 

yes it fits as I have done mine and my mates cars far more cleaner, uncluttered and protects it from the heat

Which connectors sorry? Please indicate as per pics on this link(Found some reference pics on GTRUK) - https://www.gtr.co.uk/forum/175254-engine-bay-wiring-loom-run.html

Thank you!

[RB30 with Nismo Plenum on BNR32]

Anyone know whether the Nismo plenum fits with the RB30 in a BNR32?

Actual experience would be appreciated. I understand it may foul on the clutch master? If so, is there a way around it? Not keen on the Plazmaman/HT ones.

[New Bosch Fuel Pump - BR540]

Yeah, although, comparing that to the Walbro equivalent, its almost on par, even tho I think the Walbro chews a tad more, not that it really matters.

Wonder if 2 of these puppies will fit in the aftermarket industries surge tanks

[New Bosch Fuel Pump - BR540]

Hi guys,

In the market for the fuel setup, and these just got released apparently, Bosch BR 540. Apparently they are E85 rated.. Thoughts? Looking at the link below it states 'Improved E85 tolerance through internal design and materials'. Not sure bout the word 'tolerance' - To me, it screams out 'I'm not compatible', and that it will still fail when running them, but however, will last longer? I understand this is an issue with the 044's, where they dont seem to last very long on E85.

Looking at the chart, it flows a tad under 400LPH @ 70psi which seems pretty dam good. I wouldn't mind getting 2 of these perhaps and stage the 2nd pump to come on at say x% duty cycle or boost, as long as its suitable for e85.
