The 20% underdrives for the BA-BF have proven to be a worthwhile mod, including the NA guys.
Any reason why it wouldn't work for the AU? How many would be interested in one if they were developed?

I think AU I6's are already factory under driven (I could be very wrong to) but, if something was developed, I'd be very interested of course.

best place to contact would be Ross Tuffbond Balancers... They are in Sydney.
I fitted one of their wiz bang balancers a few months ago. But mines an EL balancer. I should have got an EF or AU one, just incase I wanted to run coil packs in the future. Oh well.

According to Precision parts (who makes the Powerbond BA balancers), the AU balancers have a different ring offset and other dimensional differences from the BA balancer.

What the hell's a jiggawatt?
Ok, that't the Back to the Future gag out the way? Pardon my ignorance, but what is an underdrive? How will they increase performance? GK

I did a little research to fully understand the concept myself. This is from Wikipedia:

Sounds like a good mod for some small performance gains and to protect accessories from the power generated by modified high-power engines.

Guys.. the smaller pulley is the best thing since sliced bread on a ba 6.. and would no doubt be as good on any earlier 6.
FWIR the au xr8' do have a smaller pulley that the base model 8, not sure about the xr6 tho, I guess if the serpentine belt is the same length on the xr6 as it is on the forte's, then the pulley must be the same. BPT wangara have been selling them for a while, and would be a good point of info. |
