L67 overdrive balancer? Got bigger plans?

not really, just didn't want a stock balancers that falls apart from too much revving. So I got this race balancer.

But the option is always there for some boost.

Where'd you get it from?

[vlad01]

that's not that different to the .01 I have for a stock VR v6 though ?

Not sure what the vr runs? it could be that.

I know the VP and VN run about 1mm deck, so 8 thou is a huge difference from 1mm lol

Where'd you get it from?

Anywhere that sell powerbond balancers. I bought it through Biggvl.

They are shit expensive!

Yeah looking for a reasonably priced one. Are you sure they have the same balance as a ecotec?

its not an ecotec one, its what powerbond offer for late VN to VR. They offer only that with 8PK overdrive in case you want a SC.

They do have an ecotec one, which is a different balance to what I have.

I got my whole assembly balanced together and they didn't even have to touch the race balancer.

oh ok cool. Yeah the L67 balancers are $500 odd...

[vlad01]

yeah I paid close to that, not cheap but you know what they say.

You get what you pay for and buy once cry once.

Spent a day with Big G.

He lent my his car scales.

I was right VPs are light.

Full tank of fuel, bog stock with heavy auto, full AC and all the normal stuff.

Shitty pic but yeah, on the scales.

Took to pics as one of the scales seemed to float around by 10-20kg

Going to weigh the VR tomorrow, Think I have a full tank on that already?

wasn't expecting that...

I bet it spins the RHR wheel first, 80odd kgs difference...

Try it with you in it...

Also leave it to settle for a couple of minutes, that should stop it from floating
