PowerBond kit

[megavxr8]

Morning all. Will this kit fit my vxr8 ls2 6.0l?

And what are the pros and cons (if any) with it been 25% UNDERDRIVE



Thanks guys

You're driving alternator / PAS pump / aircon etc 25% slower than OEM. Probably wont cause the car to explode, but I can't see it releasing much power either (?).

So probably better off with standard then mate?

[mik_ok]

Not sure tbh - I'm not an expert - I'm just sceptical that it gives you much (other than negatives) :-/

They do release power, but as has been said, the drive of components is slowed. I would think that if you like playing on track, this is a good thing, as there's less chance of the PS overheating?

If there's an ATI alternative that fits then I would spend the extra for it (based on reading around).

Looks as though I'm the only one on this thread to have actually run one?

I ran one of these on my LS2 VZ ute. No problems. Just buy the pulley though. Cant see why you need all the other pulleys unless yours are toast.

You might well be Gareth, they don't seem common over here. I am tempted, although I don't think the ~10hp gain is reason enough - the reduced harmonics and rotating mass are what draws me to the ATI...the powerbond is heavy isn't it?

I have a new one sitting in the garage not need now very nice bit of kit

They are very light actually The ATI unit (which I now run on the stroker) is very good but very heavy.

Good info, ta

I run a powerbond unit not under driven and it Was as light if not a bit lighter than stock.
