B Shaft eliminator= crankwalk????

[firefighter_637]

hey im rebuilding my motor and i want to get a balance shaft elim kit but i was wonderin if this would make me more prone to crankwalk since i have a 7 bolt. i just got my crank resurfaced and balanced so i dont know if this will help or not???

ok, how many miles are on your engine? if you have over 50000 i wouldnt even worry about crankwalk. and in all honesty not as many 7 bolts crankwalk as people think, its just a lot of ignorance. and the balance shaft has nothing to do with the cause of crankwalk.

Yep ^^ as said balance shafts have nothing to do with crankwalk, unless in some way the increase in oil pressure from removing the balance shafts leads to crank walk but I dont think their related.

the engine had 124000 miles with no problems but i just got done rebuilding it from the ground up with all new parts, better ones too!!! thanks for the input!!!

Balance shafts, (their belts anyways) kill timing belts, not make the crank walk.

 

[firefighter_637]

cool thanks for all the input guys, is the power gain pretty good and noticeable???

 

[mysticfire6602]

ha, there is no power gain. well, not a noticable one. maybe 1 horsepower

i disagree.

its a noticeable feel, better throttle response, and spool up. a couple reputable people around here claim ~10hpw.

of course this "mod" works the same way as others, you're not gonna feel it as much on a t-25 as you would on a 16g. you're not gonna feel it as much w/ stock exhuast as you would a 3" turbo-back exhuast.

yeah thats what i heard that there is a 10-20hp gain from it

 

[mysticfire6602]

so your saying since i just put a balance shaft belt on, if i cut it i will get a 10-20hp gain?

you need a kit though that will eliminate the belt and shaft and oil on your front cover
