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.

    • 2 more things I have to work out Easy one first...can anyone describe how to pull the fuel pump and sender from a 33? I can feel there is some sort of mount and clips but don't have a manual and don't know the trick......if not I'll spend some quality time in the boot witha lighter tomorrow. Second question is harder.  He had changed the upper plenum to a plazmaman but clearly got to a point with the vacuum hoses where he said "f**k it, I'm going inside for a beer" and never came back to that job because it was a mess. Am I right to think that I need: 1. Pre throttle (16mm nipple on inlet) to AAC's main 20mm fitting as the main pre throttle feed 2. ACC has a second 13m outlet joined to that 20mm fitting which I think is the pre throttle air supply for the cold start valve? 3. Cold start valve's outlet fitting then goes to Plenum (to bypass throttle?) There is some adapter on the back of the ACC with 2 fittings (13mm and 10mm), do I run the 10mm through a 1 way valve to the Brake Booster (4) and the 13mm back to a 13mm nipple on the Plenum as the Idle control (5)? 6. Run a 6mm vacuum line from the Turbosmart BOV to the Plenum? 7. Run a 5mm vacuum line from the Fuel Pressure Reg to the Plenum? 8. Run a 5mm vacuum line from the Turbosmart Boost controller to the Plenum? (Wastegate already has a pre turbo pressure source running to the solenoid then the wastegate on the other side of the bay)  Any help appreciated, the GTR is quite different setup and while the Stagea also has FFP it is different again. (And no Dose, I'm not pissing it all off and putting a ethrottle on it....)
    • OK, onto some questions to try and speed up the process a little. Does anyone know what core this Garret is? I know it is a high flowed standard turbo but nothing else about it. Tag says OK 0169J - 446179-5032 Same question for the injectors, I don't know what they flow and ideally can work it out before it hits the dyno, they are a mustard yellow side feed
    • Quick side trip into the engine externals, alternator and PS were in place including tensioned belts, but the PS was dry (my guess is he had the steering rack reco-ed). Filled it up with Transmax Z but it will need more bleeding once the engine is running no doubt. BTW I've said before, I don't know what kind of soft animals you have in the city, but out here they breed the rats tough. I bet they were disappointed when they tasted synthetic ATF.... Coilpacks are Splitfires with a factory loom in reasonable condition. I didn't pull one put I bet the spark plugs are new as its a new engine
    • Onto intake pressure test. I have a Raceworks (damn brand thieves!) pressure test adapter that lets you apply pressure through a standard tyre valve and comes with a pressure gauge.....I just blocked off the other end immediately before the throttle body. Applied 30psi....and the turbo intake immediately popped off with a bang. Sorted that but it was still leaking, turns out there is a pinhole leak at the BOV adapter that I'll have to find a local place to TIG up. I'm sure it makes SFA difference with such a small leak but I want it to be right. Everything else up to the throttle body was good. Also cleaned and oiled the KNX cone filter, and this is the AFM if anyone can identify it (car runs a PowerFC)
    • I'll send you a message, but until I know what is OK (and anything that isn't) its kind of hard to work out a fair price. BTW I'm just helping out here, ultimately it is Mel's call what she accepts but I know it will go sooner or later.
