ATI Super Damper for RB engines

Hi all,

Purchased an RB26 ATI Super Damper 1000HP version (P/N 917753) to suit R33/34 GTR, however I am running it on my RB20. Quality was amazing however when fitting it it really looks strange. The pulleys and inertia weight sit very far forward leaving a large space behind the hub to the lower crank sprocket. Is this normal? There is no part number on the balancer whatsoever and there is no part number on any of the box or documentation that I received. The TDC markings do line up though and obviously the ID of the hub and keyways are correct as I installed it no worries.

Some pics to help explain (sorry for the bad quality)

Thanks

Well its made for rb26 not rb20, so yes normal in that regard. I believe ati say you need to shim the other pulleys to get the belt runners in alignment.

yes but RB20/26 use same lower timing cover. Water pump belt lines up as does alternator, other belts are not used.

Could you machine the back of it down? looks to be room to do it.

Machining it would put it out of alignment, also not machinging a brand new $1000 balancer lol.

It just seems weird having such a large gap between back of balancer and the timing cover. i know hundreds of people on here run these so thought maybe one person could at least verify for me.

are you positive the bolt is all the way home?

personally, i wouldnt be using that balancer. its not even close. spacing shit out can cause another world problems. if it doesnt sit in the same position as the stock balancer i would sell it and purchase a balancer thats meant for a rb20.

i have a 1000hp ati on my rb26, sits where it should all belts line up perfectly. @iruvyouskyrine sorry mate.

Bolt is all the way home 100%

while i agree it doesn't look close in the pics, after comparing to stock balancer it is fine but because they have a lip on the rear you just cant see it. Everything else lines up 100% correctly.

im not sure about rb20s but isnt there suppose to be a shim that goes in front of the timing belt?

also why did you choose the 33/34 pulley and not the 32 one?

i know it 32 balancer is different to 33 as the power steer pump is in a slightly different location (belt alignment wise).

No shim using PRP trigger kit

Because it was in stock and the 32 one wasn't

Not using power steering or aircon anyway so belt location on balancer doesn't matter

I was wondering if that was a prp trigger kit lol

I guess what I'm saying is the 32 and 33/34 balancers from ati have diff part numbers. Unless someone can correct me I guess it is because of the spacing of those accessories that the balancers are in fact different. Cant imagine it being much else?

Are you building the motor yourself? What has the work shop said?

What Brett said. It is just the ps/ac belt alignment and rib layouts which are null and void in my case.

Built motors are for suckers, stock all day. Don't let the nissan out.

Ordering new PRP rear belt guide/shim thing, putting that in and then just calling it a day, it should be fine i think it just looks strange.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler

      Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?

      Hi.. Just another problem. So maybe you can help. I(my mechanic) done swap from my RB20DE NEO to RB25DET NEO. Everything is OK but we have a boost cut. Coils/Plugs are ok...AFM is ok. ECU is ok. I have Walbro 255 but it "changed" sound few months ago(you can hear it ouside) you did not hear that when it was new(maybe faulty?) Sooo...what now? What can cause this boost cut? It is even when you standing still...
