Indeed that sucks balls :wacko:

How did that happen Robbie?

Did it occur at high revs or just normal driving?

I think that further investigation why it flew went off is warranted before you go ahead and acquire another harmonic balancer.

Ross Tuffbond balancers (metal jacket types) are renowned for spitting belts.

Also, there plenty of members that run standard / OEM harmonic balancer Robbie and don't throw any belts - food for thought.

Lakeside Classic - July 26, 2015 None of this build would of been possible without the man sitting next to me. Endless hours spent together talking, planning, working. Forever thankful Dad.

Yes, but a standard balancer isn't going to provide the same harmonic damping protection to the engine as a metal jacket, especially at higher horsepower levels that what the original damper was designed for.

I think you'd be surprised actually at how good the OEM balancers are. They're not much good when they're 20 years old but a new one is still a very good bit of gear.

Good point - but ignoring the belt issue, are they AS good at harmonic dampening as the Metal Jacket?

If the Metal Jacket is even slightly better then is it not a worthwhile precaution, especially on an all out build?

Again, assuming that the belt issue was not a factor.

I agree, however Robbie's car is not a drag machine and I don't think a harmonic balancer is entirely mandatory in his situation. Just my opinion.

A better balancer should help prolong the life of the oil pump, even under normal driving conditions, so surely that's a good enough reason in itself to use the best balancer you can get?

There is also another MJ revision 306202X2 which I'd say is version 2 of yours, which could save you having to go to an underdriven pulley?

Does the P/S pulley look different on this one compared to yours? Could be a better option than an ugly extra pulley?

Actually my p/s pulley is already under driven. I do have a spare one of the above so I will check for any differences.

Yeh that extra tensioner set up looks like dogs balls! Thanks again for the input mate, appreciate it.

I threw a few gates belts with my metal jacket on my 26/30 between 5/6000rpm with 330rwhp went to Bosch belt and haven't had any more issues

Interesting. Thanks

Yeh at high RPM, no less than 7,000...New belt is on and will be watched closely!

Seems to be the case Ants. Will be working with 'the rock' (mechanic) and no doubt we will have it sorted soon ;)

There is a thread in the forced induction section, enough examples in the thread to warrant a change to ati or OEM

Thanks Simon, have now read through this. See what happens...as always time will tell :cheers:

So got a few more shots in on Sunday, will get the rest up over next couple of days

Have you seen this brochure?

If you could track down a real one it would be a good addition to put in the glovebox!

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      Back in January, I noticed my car felt noticeably weak. I had the injectors cleaned, which seemed to solve the problem -- until now. Recently, the car suddenly lost power again while driving. Suspecting the injectors, I brought it to the mechanic. He recommended replacing them entirely, saying the current ones were getting unreliable and fiddly to work with. I could not find a direct replacement for my current injectors. The closest match I found were 440cc injectors. This led me to look into the possibility of upgrading -- and of course, that would mean remapping the ECU. From my research I found: The OEM Part numbers are 16600-72L20 and 16600-72L21 Both the RB20DE and RB20DET use the same 270cc injectors. There are much better options out there over the old OEM injectors. Nistune could be a viable tuning option. While the RB20DE isn’t explicitly listed on their site, the ECU is essentially the same as the GTS-T version - just with a different map. The ECU code on mine is listed as supported. One concern is finding a tuner who works with Nistune. Aftermarket ECU like Haltech and Link, but this would be the most expensive choice (and possibly overkill for a mostly stock RB20DE) I admit that I am very new to the tuning scene and would appreciate any insight or recommendations regarding this.   These are some SAU links where I got some of my information from for reference: https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/380324-rb20de-injectors/ https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/477396-factory-270cc-injectors/

      Anyone know this frontpipe?

      By sunsetR33 · Posted

      The inspectors are not forensic by any means but if you forge your documents and/or badgings on vehicle parts and are found out, the consequences are just far bigger than if you just run illegal parts. And their job quite literally is to cross reference what parts you got installed and what your papers say you got. Something as silly as your suspension being 1mm too low will fail you. Nonetheless I asked if someone knew the damn pipe and I certainly did not ask for smartassery or underhanded comments, no idea why you need to be told this. Great way to waste both our time.

      As useful as you explaining what forgery is... But then again, I wasn't aware your inspectors were also forensic experts and inspect nameplates on each component to confirm everything is original. They must inspect roughly 3 cars a year at that rate. You're right though, my comment doesn't help you in anyway, so I'll go talk to my wall now. Cheers.

      Say that to the guy that is going to fail your inspection or tow your car for illegal exhaust modifications. If you have anything else useful to say, please go tell your wall.
