Ross Racing Balancer/Trigger kit

[Blakeo]

Hi guys, I am considering buying the Ross Racing Trigger kit for my ecr33. The only thing that puts me off is these seem to get a bad wrap but most forum posts I can find are from almost 10 years ago. 

Has the quality improved? I like that I can reuse my nitto timing gear, don't need to modify my billet oil pump etc to fit this trigger kit. But if its no good, I will go another way - can anyone recommend something better?

 

Thank you.

I didnt want to find out, so went with ATI instead. Cant go wrong. I also run the PRP crank/cam trigger kit without issues.

Ross will have better warranty support being based in VIC. When i was in the same position, I had read about them throwing power steering belts under high load due to incorrect installation. I had my tuner run the car on the dyno for a few power runs after installation to ensure it was running as intended.

Ross Balancers seem fine now.

 

Consider speaking to ignite 5.0 for the trigger kit though.  They don't list the kits on the site but will supply them.

 

I run two RB's, one a Ross 36-2 and an Ati with custom trigger wheel 36-2, both with ignite 5.0 triggers. So much better than other kits around. No cutting oil pump housings, no issues with sync or fine tolerance clearances. Just bloody works and has done for over 3 years.  

 

With  36-2 and a good ecu too, once you have start sync, the cam trigger is no longer used.

I’ve been using the Ross balancer/trigger kit with no issues for a couple years now

I've got a Ross trigger kit (crank only) and have modified it to use a Bosch Motorsport reluctor instead of a hall sensor.

It's been fine with 36+1 to 8000rpm and hasn't thrown any belts.

I made my own cam trigger out of a dead CAS and one of these, pretty simple job and looks like a stock CAS. At the time I was going for a stock looking engine bay but the dry sump has kind of ruined that.
