This is a Fiat F600 balancer. From std theses engines had an oil pump incorporated in the front of a cast iron pulley hub.

We have redesigned the original part to suit one of our MetalJacket S.F.I. Dampers consisting of a 1045 steel hub, 6061 alloy dampening hub and Steel dampening cover held together with our tried and proven TUFFBOND process. In their std trim these engines were harsh as they had no dampening at all.

“So what” you might say, well the Famous Nissan RB engines have a few areas needing refinement especially when worked past their normal limits.

One of these needed areas is their computer referencing methods and locations.

The engineers at ROSS have designed a fancy rigid sensor mount and a wheel which are fitted simply by unbolting the Ross Metaljacket balancer rear pulley and degree wheel and bolting on a rear pulley that has a trigger wheel machined into the pulley so it all mounts up without any special machining at a machine shop, we have already done it for you.

Alternately you can order the complete kit comprising of:-

1 Metaljacket Trigger wheel balancer

1 crank angle sensor mount, with sensor.

Soon to be released is our cam angle sensor Kit.  Follow our blog for this new release.

We have manufactured a simple fix for power steering belt problems on the Nissan RB engine range.

How does it work?

The distance between the power steering pulley and the crank shaft pulley is nearly halved, not allowing the powersteering belt to get the huge whip up as they do on these engines thus preventing the belt from walking off the pulleys.

This simple mounted idler pulley fits directly under the power steering adjuster bracket along with a spacer to make up the difference in the offset to the adjuster screw lock.

The first video from the World Time Attack Challenge event is ready.

You can watch the full HD version by clicking in the video of the Cyber Evo, Panspeed Mazda RX-7, Tomei/Cusco Subaru WRX STI, R-Magic Mazda RX-7 and Hi-Octane Racing R34 Nissan Skyline GT-R. Among others.

Oh yeah, plus in-car video and some gratuitous time lapse video. Enjoy.

With the availability of cranks to suit late model efi Ford windsors with a bit of stroke about them non existent, you can only buy early carburetted engine cranks , this creates a problem with the balance of the rotating mass especially if your are running the in a late car with efi computers.

ROSS has created a balancer that carries the early counterweight 28ounce and the trigger wheel with the late multi rib pulley on the front and if you want to run a blower off the the front it is designed ready for a blower pulley to mount inside the multi rib pulley.

We think of everything at ROSS
