Harmonic Balancer Compatability

[Smity42]

Hi guys,

Does anyone know if I can use an RB26 Harmonic Balancer (from an R32 GTR) on an R34 RB25DET NEO engine?

The neo balancer I have looks pretty wrecked (chipped, etc) and I can get my hands on a 26 one easily.

Cheers,

Martin

I can't say I'm certain, but I don't think they are compatible/substitutable...

However, I pretty sure brands like ATI and Ross make aftermarket items for RB25 NEO.

Can't be 100% but my RB2630 is using my old NEO balancer...

I know for a fact that R33 & R34 GTR harmonic balancers are identical. The R32 GTR one will fit, however the power steering belt won't line up because this pulley is approximately 8mm further forward. you'd have to either press the pulley 8mm off it's shaft (not recommended) or modifiy the P/S bracket to get it 8mm further forward.

The ATI balancers are the best ones if you want an aftermarket one.

Hope that helps.

Thanks guys,

I will think about that group buy, but I was hoping to get away with less than that . Oh well
