Why not run stock?
ATI make brilliant stuff hey. But if you had the motor dynamic balanced then stick with what it was balanced with.
Project Greenstone.
looking good Barry!

Cut the Greddy intake today,ol` Stew nearly had a heart attack....needed to trim it shorter to weld the flange on for the t/b pipe bend. That is made of stainless (old 727 Boeing bypass duct in the engine...) but it will do the job and does not look too shabby. Just could not find an ally bend that diameter or that tight.
Next up will be the flange for the t/body itself....and the water pump pulley...and the...Mmmmm..

You reckon bud ?? What I can glean from "the net " is that an aftermarket dynamic balancer or dampener is the thing to do with revs in the 8k range.
This engine has run 9k in the Stegea all its life with the std one ..maybe says something here but Nick did say it would be better to do a fluid damper, ATI or similar..
Cheers Bman , how is little Bman doing ??
F , stuur vir my jul addres seblief. en wat will jy he vir hom ? Wil graag vandag iemand deur stuur vir hom.. 8)

That pulley will be balanced with the crank assembly. By changing to ATI it will now be unbalanced. Maybe send the new ATI pulley to be balanced to match the original...

Once again, lots of work this weekend.
I do not have the RB26 specific power steering pump nor do I have it`s bracket . Off with the NEO stuff, measure up and home we go to my workshop.
A bit of scratching through my old Alfa Romeo stuff and I find a pump and assorted pulleys. Now the Nissan stuff is all press fitted to the shaft and trust me, it does not just come off.
Strip the pump so I can get the shaft, cut the pulley outer off and put it in the lathe. A few hours later and I have a bolt on flange on the pump with a choice of Alfa pulleys to bolt on. Great stuff.
Also made some ally flanges and stuff which I quickly welded up this morning before work.( I`m here at 5:30 already...)
On Saturday I discovered that the battery feed cables were all strapped to the fuel lines. :facepalm:
Anyone ever had a battery cable short out ? I have , trust me , nothing survives close to that cable.
The brake lines !! Man, I do not know why I had not looked at them before. When the abs pump was removed "new" lines were fitted.
Ferule fittings were used and some were simply "t"`d to supply the fronts.
Ill get new Bundy tubing and re make all the piping including fuel feeds and clutch .
The inner tunnel was also just smacked in with a hammer. Starter , bell housing, rear of engine all touching the body work.
Then there the under bonnet wiring...........Eish... :facepalm: :facepalm:
This is really turning into a medium term project here ...not what I wanted ! 😕 😕
its always like that Barry what seems to be a small job never is you will always spot things that need to be addressed but its a good thing had you not spotted the fuel lines attached to the batt line that could have really gone bad and you might have lost the car cuz of it.
Seems a lot of guys like to do the sledge hammer route.. I can just imagine how much weaker the firewall becomes..
Getting done properly.. Your shop is getting filled with just your cars parts by the day...
Eish, that is a bit of a wirely hell right there!!
Atleast you are moving on BK!
Good luck!! And keep us updated, it is awesome seeing you guys at work.
Testing, testing and test fitting everything.
