if you've got plans for reasonably high power its worth going the 1000.. the 750hp damper is a 5.5" model so for me the recommended rebuild schedule make the 1000hp model a more attractive proposition for an engine making reasonable power.

 you need an ECU that will turn off the air conditioning clutch above a certain rpm as its 25% overdriven so you don't kill it.

rebuild information from ATI's manual: http://www.atiracing.com/instructions/Super-Damper.pdf

 

Recommended Maintenance Schedules For street and drag race motors and dampers greater than 5.5":

up to 800 HP: damper should be rebuilt every 10 years

Above 800 HP, Blown or Nitrous racing:  damper should be rebuilt annually

Circle Track / Endurance: dampers should be rebuilt during each engine rebuild

 

For 5.5" dampers:

400 HP rebuild every 5 years •

400-600 HP rebuild every 2 to 3 years •

600+ HP rebuild every year

Out of interest, what RPM does everyone set theirs to? I can't actually recall ever finding out what the factory setting is and subtracting 25% from it. Need to set it up on mine properly, currently rely on the 'don't get on it with the ac on' method

How crucial is this rebuild schedule though and how hard/expensive is it to do? Surely people aren't rebuilding their balancers if they drive the car on weekends etc

Mine is at, 4500rpm or 75% tps with 4 second reactivation time

I'm also curious what others are running and why they chose those settings. 

Mine's about the same, but I've popped in about 3 degrees extra timing into the zero throttle demand table.

It still is always about to stall on engagement, I think the IACV (even with an additional 15% base DC) may be a bit slow to react to the sudden changes OR my AC compressor is cactus, because there's a massive strain each time it comes on.

This thread has a bit more recent info on both Ross and ATI, there are tuners using both, namely PMC race engines use ATI, and CRD (croydon racing dev. in sydney) use Ross

Ross have recently re-designed (Rel. Jul 2019) their balancers to have an integrated crank trigger which also allows them to have a larger dampening surface for their balancers.  Their base model is now rated to 800hp, up from 600 i believe.  I have their older base metal jacket version installed on my 300kw RB26, i believe correct installation per application is important to the longevity of these balancers.

ATI's are USA made and can be rebuilt by anyone with a modular cartridge, and Ross are made in Aus and will need to be sent back to their base in VIC to be rebuilt.

The elastomer o'rings should be replaced every 10 years if its mainly street.

If you are in the states it only costs $75 to overhaul and re-certify SFI .

I'm not so just bought an overhaul kit (~$35) and did it myself.

Fairly basic job, cleanliness and care with orings during assembly is all that is required . Blue loctite on bolts and correct torque.

Yeah car will be 90% street at around 300-350kw so a rebuild every 2 years seem excessive. Have you got a link to rebuild instructions?

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
