balance shaft eliminator? 1 question

[Alex Bland]

I was thinking of getting this done by a shop in kent that i herd on here from people. and i had 1 question..does it add a lot of vibration? cant that hurt the motor?

When I did it in my car I had the crank and pistons rebalanced.... from what I heard you will have a little bit of vibration when the car is idling. you will probably gain like 15HP but idk that for sure could be less or more

It will idle a little bit rougher. The main reason to do it is reliability. When the balance shaft belt breaks it often takes out the timing belt.

Ive went to a stock dsm to a modded one in about 2 years, i just had the shafts out this week, i also have harder mounts. My buddy has a stroker, mounts, and no shafts i cant tell the difference in his spyder. Looking foward to driving it really soon to see how she acts, lighter flywheel, and my other goodies. The fmic, more fuel, ill begin to tune it with a widebandnd link. Vibrate they say its not that bad, one less thing to break for a cheap thing to do.

How much do u think i should pay for the kit and timeing belt installed?

The balance shafts just counter act the vibrations from the engine. They do not have anything to do with the 'balance' of the rotating assembly. All that is balanced from the factory.

Because a 4G63 is a straight 4 engine it has inherent resonance. The balance shafts counteract that but it is always there whether you remove the BS or not.
