Ross Performance Parts manufacture Harmonic balancers and engine mounts for the  Kobelco rk160 crane

We have developed a product using a vibration resistant rubber which increases balancer life and dampening properties.

Kobelco Cranes has a proud history of innovation going back more than seven decades,first as a construction machinery division within Kobe Steel.Ltd.,then as a crane division within Kobelco Construction Machinery Co.,Ltd.,and now as an independent company.

In the years since, they have maintained a reputation for new technological development that is reflected in an impressive and diverse crane line-up.

Today’s Kobelco Cranes Co.Ltd. carries on the tradition of innovative know-how and can-do spirit that puts us in the forefront of crane production both in Japan and abroad.

While the Kobelco RK160 is an older model it is still used widely in Australia and Ross Performance parts manufacture Harmonic balancers and engine mounts for the  Kobelco rk160 crane.

The 3.0 L (2997 cc) 2JZ has been produced since 1991 (first released in the 1991 Toyota Aristo). Cylinder bore was 86 mm (3.39 in) and stroke was 86 mm (3.39 in). VVT-i variable valve timing was added later in 1997 for the 1998 model year.

“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.

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.

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.
