Bringing a thread back from the dead

I recently got my car back on the road and have a 1000hp ati balancer on it

Cars only making 400hp

My ac belt has came off twice in two days first time completely gone and damaged power steering belt

2nd time belt came off still in one piece but ended up damaging my brand new radiator

Just normal driving on the street with your random squirts here and there and a few 8k clutch dumps to test out the new diffs

Has any one found a solution for this as I would like to keep my air con for summer

Never had this issue. I also run the 1000hp ATI balancer and have done for many years

I'd suggest looking elsewhere. Fitting/adjustment or another issue.

(435hp)

How about selling the damper to someone with heaps more power than you and then you could buy a 500hp damper .

just curious (I dont have an ATI damper)

IF the proper belt is used and tensioned properly, together with a good condition ac pulley, how would the belt come off?

the grooves in the belt/pulley plus the lip on the pulley will hold the belt in place no?

unless the belt was loose/worn...or the damper was vibrating so much until the belt could slip over the grooves (which is highly impossible cos that means your engine would have been destroyed)

I would check the belt tension and make sure the ac is properly tightened :)

Defiantly have the right balancer

Why would I sell it and get the 500hp one?

I been doing some research and ati them self's don't recommend high rpm with the ac belt on I think this is due to being smaller then standard and the pully is spinning alot faster

So I might leave it off for now and when it starts getting hot I'll put it back on and just take it easy

Everything is tensioned right and correct belts are being used

Ditch the A/C prob solved.. I also have a ATI 1000hp balancer and im getting rid of my A/C as i wont be needing it anymore. If the car is going to be used purely for weekends im pretty sure you can survive with out A/C ?

Yeah that's what I'm going to do now I was trying to build a nice comfortable street car but who am I kidding I have front and rear lsds and a twin plate clutch

I'll keep the ac in for now and when it gets hot I'll put the belt back on

Why would I sell it and get the 500hp one?

Because you said this:

Bumping an old thread

I got an ATI 1000hp balancer on my hks 2.8 stroker, had the ac belt come off on the Dyno, put a new belt on and 2 squirts later on the street found my ac belt has flipped upside down on the pulleys

Anyone know why? I just cut it off for now as its winter but ultimately I do want a working ac system and that I can drive the car without it always damaging belts

Ac tensioner has a new bearing

They warn you in the instructions about the a/c being overdriven and the belt should be removed when racing, not sure if that has anything to do with it though

Is that in turning on the AC or not? I can get any firm clarification. Would it matter if the AC was not engaged? Would it be the same as a stock balancer at 10,000 RPM?

I have herd you need to remove it for racing but my mate has same engine and balancer and it revs to the moon and always hitting limiter and never has issues so dunno why mine would through a belt after Afew squirts

Annoying

    • 2001 BE5D Subaru Legacy B4 RSK (3rd gen) EJ208 (pink injector) Twin Turbo 280PS 5-speed manual Full time 4WD "RSK" grade which means all of the above LQC option which means stock rear spoiler  I got it primarily to export to someone outside Japan who was interested. These BE5 Legacy B4 RSKs are going through a bit of a resurgence right know in Japan as they are one of the few cars from the "turbo, manual, RWD/4WD, 280hp gentleman's agreement era" cars that don't require stupid money to purchase. Which for some people might be a good opportunity to get as a base for restoration. If I can't find anyone to purchase it I will certainly be doing that myself over the long term. Why? Because it's properly fast in stock form, handles well enough for a GT sedan, there's still enough aftermarket and (if you can wait a while) genuine part support to make it a restoration candidate (<-- that will only get worse over time so it's a case of do it now or choose get a BL5 4th Gen). Mechanically it's fine, has only 89,200kms on the odometer. The problem with this car is that the body and exterior trims are weathered from at least the last 10 years being parked outdoors. I'm the 3rd owner, the first owner was the one that had it for 14 years and barely drove it, had a low-speed front impact (which didn't damage anything behind the radiator support) and got it fixed and sold it. The 2nd owner put most of the kms on it and parked it outside for the last 10 years, hence the door rubbers have seen better days but if you overlook those cosmetic details, it presents pretty nicely. There is some minor rust on the LH rear wheel arch which I'll have looked at too at some stage.  Also as you'd expect from a car this age, the clear top coat is gone, leaving a satin finish on the roof.  Mechanically it's fine (as you would expect from a car with less than 100K kms) but the steering does feel slightly vague around the centre position at higher speeds. So first on the list is to get the steering rack bushes looked at. There's also the Lock button on the remote which doesn't work, but the Open button does.... it means that the anti-theft system thinks it's always open? It seems like if you open the car and don't start the engine within 3 mins or so the anti-theft kicks in again without any beeps or signals. So if you got to start it after that, it won't. You have to push the open button again. That's how I understand it anyway. Just a small irritation but not a big problem to sort out. There's only one mod, the Wangan SPL muffler. Just a tad louder than stock. It's a really good mod for those who don't want to wake the neighbours but still want to hear a more prominent unequal length header EJ20 sound. Anyway I hope to get all those things done eventually, that is unless someone wanted to import it to their country from Japan (where I live). I'm open for negotiations as I really would like a Skyline... but this will definitely suffice in the meantime 🙂 *Disclaimer: This is how I picked it up from the dealer, minus the stuff on the back seat. I haven't cleaned the engine bay or done a thorough exterior clean, aside from spray painting the wipers. 
    • Wow, even with the Audi logo centre caps. I love OEM wheel mismatches. 
    • Welcome!  Can't go wrong with a Stag.
    • Looks good. Nice height.
    • Hey all, a little help from the Stagea hive mind plz.. I'm days away from buying either a 2002 Stagea 250tRS AR-X Four, premium leather, power seats and all the old switches etc that go with it, or a 2002 Stagea 250tRS VR-X Four AERO, pov pack, cloth seats etc, with coil overs, sports zorst, comes with original zorst and suspension and parts. (I think I've got the models right?) Both are VQ25DET, have 160000kms, both straight no rust both with $2000+ in recent servicing receipts, both ride on aftermarket 18" rims. The Aero has a replaced turbo as well. I like the cool factor of the Aero car but the AR-X has never been modified. Neither have been driven hardly at all in the last 5 years. Any thoughts on which one or does it come down to personal preference? davemoto
