I'm rebuilding my motor.. again. and was wondering if anyone has had any experience with the Ross Tuffbond Metal Jacket Harmonic Balancer before the engine builder gets to it.

it looks like it only allows for the timing belt and alternator - no power steering or aircon. i dont need the aircon because ive ripped the whole system out, but what about the power steering?

Can anyone steer me in the right direction?

Yep correct, you can buy them in just timing and alternator, or you can add on power steering and aircon.

Out of curiousty, what's the best price you guys buying the balancers for? Been thinking about chucking one on mine as the standard one looks like it's seen better days.

ati super damper

+1

Definitely the best Harmonic Dampener out of the two.

To suit RB26, allowed ALL factory fitted rb25 belts. Just had to modify my p/steering pump, by moving the pulley 5mm forward, as i was using rb25 parts on my rb25/30. Otherwise a straight bolt on.

What makes one better than the other and whats wrong with the std balancer? Has anybody actually been able to determine if the secondary forces are reduced at critical rpms using the aftermarket items???

    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
    • It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.
    • As MBS suggested if this is happening when the engine is cold you're going to want to remove the intake air regulator and verify resistance + that the shutter is physically opening and closing. At -20C should be fully open, 20C half open, over 60C fully closed. At 20C should be 70-80 ohms. For AAC valve testing using a Consult cable see if you can raise and lower the idle by commanding more or less AAC duty cycle. Hopefully it's pretty linear as well, shouldn't be like 30% AAC valve is barely idling and 40% is 1500 rpm.
    • Bloody apprentices! 🙄
    • Not sure yet.  Was considering speedtek because it was rated to 800hp, but when I did some research about him I don't think I will go for that🤣 So maybe giken gear set, but I'm afraid it won't be strong enough🙄
