I have a h22 in a 1989 CRX and it is awaiting fitting of a turbo kit however while the engine is out I am contemplating eliminating the balance shafts. I just wanted to grab some advice form someone who has a little more engine building/boosting experience specially when it comes to the h22. The block has been reconditioned and has zero miles on it. It shall be broke in on the dyno and setup for boost from the word go. So basically I just wanna know should I get the tuning done then remove the balance shafts or go all out and do everything possible before I drop the engine in. I have the KaiserSpeed kit but have a feeling im doing too much to this engine and if anything happened to go wrong fault finding maybe alot harder

The application is a fully built h22a. This shall be setup for 1 bar of boost, my engine mapper estimates 360hp at the wheels.

Thanks in advance

I read this online about prepping a H22 Block:

"For the most part, however, the bottom end remains stock. The only other modification of note is the disabling (but not removal) of the twin balance shafts in the block. Although the engine will idle a little rougher, the reduced parasitic drag one gets by disabling the shafts results in slightly higher horsepower. Again, it's a matter of degrees, but Bonk tells us that most people won't miss them, and that the extra power is worth it."
