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 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? Last time I looked they were more than $400

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

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.

    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
    • 310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.
    • The filter only filters down to a specific size. Add to that, the filter is AFTER the pump. So it means everything starts breaking your pump even if its being filtered out.
