Balancing shafts
What are the pro's con's of removing balancing shafts...
I know the only motors that these really apply to are the prelude motors. But the new K24's have them too. I am thinking about removing them from my motor and putting in the RSX-S oil pump. I have been told this will free up a few more ponies, but I am doing it just to make the motor a little more basic, especially if they are not really needed.
I have read that removing them adds a little more vibration in th cabin, but is there any real harm in doing it?
BTW this car will be used for Road racing and occasional street use...

Re: Balancing shafts (Jon V)
I don't have a definitive answer, but I believe the shafts are there purely to provide a more comfortable ride. H series guys run w/ out them all the time with no problems. definitely adds a couple whp.
BTW, you are posting in the wrong forum. you'd probably do better in the TSX or RSX forum.

Thanks for your input...
RSX's don't have the balancing shafts and not to many of the TSX guys are getting real technical... Most of them probly don't even know they have balancing shafts, but if they did they probly would not be removing them...
