I have a 1994 integra with a b16a2 swap and the last owner put a tone of random parts that I have been trying to clean up and I’m trying to replace the harmonic balencer but I cannot find any harmonic balencer that is the same, I baught a balencer for it that was supposed to fit but the crank was way too big for it and now I can’t find one that will fit, does anyone have suggestions on what I should look for or if there’s anything I’m missing

When you say "way too big", what do you mean exactly ? Does it fit on the snout of the crankshaft OK ? Are you referring to the overall diameters of each groove on the pulley being larger than what you currently have ?

Reillyt

The diameter of the mounting hole on the harmonic balancer is too small and it won’t fit on the crankshaft, it was supposed to be for the b16a2 and seems to be the same as everyone I look up

JRCivic1

I don't know where you are looking, but you got it wrong. The only application that would have a smaller diameter mounting hole for the crankshaft snout would be a "D" series engine. The crank pulleys may look similar, but they will NOT be the same... and you have found out why. Where are you looking for pulleys ?

Reillyt

Ahhh so the only other small crank would be a d series, and I was looking on a few different websites I order the one that didn’t fit from car parts.com and it said it’s supposed to fit all the vehicles that have the b16a2 but the mounting hole was significantly smaller and would not fit on the crank, so I looked around a lot more and the only ones I could find where ones that looked about the same as I bought but I just ordered one from advanced auto for a 1997 del-sol so hopefully it will work

The important part is that you order the crank pulley for a '97 Del Sol VTEC. The model S and Si have "D" series engines in them and the crank pulley will not work on the B16A3 in the VTEC Del Sol.

Reillyt

Thank you so much, i didn’t know that at all I did order it for the vtec and it specifically said b16a2 so hopefully it should work, but if it doesn’t and it’s still too small what does that mean

Ryanthegreat1

It means your parts supplier isn't up to speed on the various trim levels of the DelSol.

Reillyt

so ur saying if it is for a del-sol it will work definitely

Reillyt

The balencer just showed up broken, but it is still not the right size, what do I even do at this point

JRCivic1

Stop using that supplier. They don't know ****.

Reillyt

I have used 2 different suppliers, advanced auto and car parts.com both sent me balencer’s that don’t fit

JRCivic1

My point exactly. Both of those are worthless.

Reillyt

u think?, what supplier would u suggest?

Ryanthegreat1

I went looking at various resellers of the same junk. They all list the same P26 part number for the D series even when selecting the B series engine that should be a P30 part number. Sorry P2T for the 97.

Maybe hunt down a pulley off an Interga? Another expert around here should know the finer details of what swaps. The Honda part number seems to be shared with the 99-00 Civic SI with the B16.

Reillyt

Yea it jus doesn’t make sense most balencers should work for it but for some reason one I order has a mounting diameter of .94 and my crank has a diameter of around 1.2”, I think my best bet is to just go to a junkyard and see if I can find one that works

Ryanthegreat1

B series in a junk yard? Best of luck. That's gonna be rare as hens teeth.

If you are willing to accept a used one, PM me. If you want to continue to find a NEW replacement product, maybe being armed with the OE part numbers will help guide you to the correct product... you WILL have to do the work to buy from box store retailers like Advance Auto Parts.

Here are a few OE applications followed by part numbers. If there is an asterisk at the end, it means that the part number is discontinued and you cannot purchase this pulley new from Honda/Acura.

'99-00 Civic Si (and '96-97 Del Sol VTEC) -13810-P2T-003 *
'94-95 Del Sol VTEC - 13810-P30-003 *

NOTE: The two parts listed above would be a direct replacement for what should have been on your B16A2 engine from the factory, so none of your current belt sizes would change if you found either of these. The part numbers listed below will all have larger or smaller pulley diameters (indicated) compared to those above, so some/all accessory belts may have to be changed to accommodate the pulley you select if you choose one of the following:

'97-01 Integra Type R - 13810-P73-J01 * (Smaller diameter)
'94-01 Integra GSR - 13810-P72-013 * (Larger diameter)
'94-01 Integra LS/RS/GS - 13810-P75-013 * (Even Larger diameter)

I will try the last one, than you so much for the reference

You're welcome.
