ANY BUYING/SELLING IN THIS FORUM WILL RESULT IN AN INSTANT BAN!

Read the rules: http://www.cb7tuner.com/vbb/showthread.php?t=43956

Myself, and the other mods have been very nice and lenient with the rules. We have been deleting threads, and giving out warnings. Some members didn't get the clue and re-posted over and over... Now ANY member buying or selling in this section will be banned... No IF's AND's or BUT's.

Beginner Forum Rules - EVERYBODY read! (old and new members alike!)

Beginners start here. Once you have 30 worthwhile posts (off topic doesn't count) you may post outside of the Beginner forums. Any "whoring" (posting simply to raise your post count) will return your count to 0, or result in a ban.

These are the rules. Read them. Live by them.

1) Absolutely NO flaming! "Flaming" is an outright attack on a member. ALL questions are encouraged to be asked here, no matter how basic. Members with over 30 posts will be subject to a ONE WEEK ban if caught flaming in this forum (and yes, moderators can read deleted posts). Members with under 30 posts will be subject to a ONE DAY ban.

2) Use appropriate language. Racial or sexual slurs will not be tolerated. A ban will be issued at the discretion of the cb7tuner.com staff.

3) No items may be sold in the Beginner forums. Any "for sale" threads will be deleted.

4) Temporarily banned members will be PERMANTLY banned if they are found posting on another account.

The rules can and will be added to. Any updates will be marked in the title.

The rules for the overall forum can be found here:

    I've seen other folks say if you blue print the engine you don't need them...

    The stuff I was reading was on a Mitsubishi...and apparently folks took their balancer shaft belts off because they had a nasty habit of just shredding for some reason...then they took out the t-belt...So for those engines it was a viable alteration. However, Honda doesn't have that issue (that I know of anyway), I would imagine if you happen to be doing your t-belt, then the added work might be worth it...but to just do it...not worth it. IMO

    If you get the balance shaft out of time you'll notice a BIG difference in vibration...but if you just take 'em off...eh...a little.

    Most of the balance shaft removal kits you actually take the shafts out and seal the hole up...so you lose some weight on the engine...but again...is it worth the gain? Well...3whp on an h22 and minus the rotating mass...but who knows.

    My thoughts...if I was making a rev happy f22 or h22 I'de prolly loose 'em...but I wonder...how does that effect oil flow?

        as far as oil pressure BJ, a few people up here say that it will raise oil pressure. i wouldnt mind removing the balance shaft belt. i mean if it doesnt mean that much then why have it? its like when you take off the resinator box out of your front bumper for the intake. after you put an after maket one in why keep it?


        i saw someone mentioned a balancer shaft belt delete kit. where would you get that from?

            balance shafts are used mainly on any import motor above a 2.0L. The reason they are there is for the accessories kick in (such as AC) the vibration will be more minimal and the occupants in the cabin will not feel the "kick". They are really a waste if you are trying to gain performance because they take up a lot of power. To remove them you can buy a eliminator kit from kaizen speed. They have been getting removed since the mid 90's in 4g63 motors

              me personally I haven't had them in my built H22 for about 4 years now as well and the motor has no problems or wear on the engine bearings.

                  so would you be able to just take off the belt until you get the kit just to see how it feels? or would that mess something up?
