Harmonic Balancers Question!

[nv033]

was looking into some balancers and this was mention to me

WE NOW HAVE A BONDED BILLET STEEL BALANCER THAT IS A WILD CARD. FOR THE RACER WHO NEEDS A BALANCER FOR HIS TRANSPLANT AND WHO CAN LIVE WITHOUT POWER STEER AND A/C. THE BALANCER COMES WITH A SAFETY SHIELD THAT BOLTS ON THE FRONT. THIS SHIELD IS MANDATORY FOR CARS THAT ARE DOING THE ¼ MILE IN 12 SECS OR LESS. IT PREVENTS THE OUTER FROM LEAVING THE ENGINE IN CASE OF A RUBBER FAILURE.

there are lots of cars that have ran 12s and i dont think its an issue....what if you runs 11s and 10s does the scrutineering get tougher?

And what if your capslock key gets stuck? I think you will self destruct, surely bro.

Yeah well I have been racing S15's for a while, tell me... how do you fare against the mighty S15? Have exhaust and filter, bro.

dressing in drag is his specialty...he gets serious coin for appearance money... hence he can afford that big 5zigen exhaust:whackit:

ANDRA rules require you to have a scatter shield or balistic blanket for the flywheel, but I've never heard of a shield for the harmonic balancer.

s15s are wicked...but they make it into the 11s not 12.0@245rwkw cough cough 330rwkw + nos :headspin:

Hey I wasn't talking to you, I was talking to gtrsux.

I think what you are trying to say, is that cast harmonic balancers (schtandard) are not approved by ANDRA, and that an SFI approved balancer(billet/forged/aftermarket) is preferred. But check out the Compak Attak thread, if they let a car slip onto the podium 200lbs underweight what makes you think they will nit-pick balancers? Unless you are going to try and blackmail them?

solve all the problems.....run an N1 balancer.....billet steel

good enough to get our race car ANDRA tech'd

Theo runs one as well..

Or better still than the N1 is the fact ATI now make rb26 dampers, that actually exceed SFI standards and have rebuildable elastometers!!!
