Rb25 Harmonic Balancer

[Billionaire_Project]

What's everyone's recommendations for. 300rwk+ rb25det. Keep looking at the Ross ones but then it looks like you need the power steering pulley as well. Also the ATI ones, other than them the doesn't seem to be much out there. Any recommendations?

The standard one.

The Ross Metal Jackets have a power steering belt groove? I run one on my RB25, all good so far

If the stock ones weren't so expensive Id say go for one of them, but for a little bit more you can go a Ross balancer

$250 for a standard or $650 for a Ross might just stick to standard unless someone can give me compelling reasons not to.

$250? Last time I looked they were more than $400

Yeh bro $220, asking as it handles the power, is there any other major advantages?

I would use the nissan one for sure.

The standard balancer for sure. Would not go near a Ross

interesting, could you PM me why? I always thought they were better at absorbing harmonics than the standard one

There's a huge thread about guys having issues with ross balancers.

Spat power steering belt with ross balancer. or somethibg like tgat is the title

[Ben C34]

learn to search

Im running a metal jacket with all the belts. No problems at all

[Dose Pipe Sutututu]

just did a search, seems it's like a new-ish problem and the band aid solution is to run another idler off the power steering bracket (seems dodge to me)...

back in the days I never heard any issues with Ross balancers, probably they're surfacing now because people are making more & more power.

When 250kW was heaps, it's crap all now lol...

I myself am chasing 350kW now...

I havent had mine dynoed yet, but my tuner thinks over 300rwkw, less than 350. It is a fair range but guessing is hard. I was aiming around 320 and I think it will get that.

The balancer looks fine, the belt is straight and spins nicely, everything looks good? I bought mine at the start of last year

Last time I read the thread, some issues were popping up while ross still owned it, now he has sold the company the issues have been/are being sorted.

You can buy them 2nd for like 50 aswell std one are perfect.

[89CAL]

If you can get one new for $200, I wouldnt go 2nd hand. I've seen plenty of used ones with cracked rubber. Its just general wear after near 20 years

$200 is cheap for a new OEM one

[boostn0199]

Aslong as they look fine wont have problem mines been fine.
