Hi, I've got a 90 CRX that I'm putting an f20b into. I am having trouble with the balancer occasionally rubbing my aftermarket radius rods. I am wanting to swap to an aftermarket balancer, preferably a cheap one, but I am having trouble finding what (if any) other engines use a balancer that will fit. Would be much easier if I can get an aftermarket for a US prelude or Accord.

Thanks for any help.

Are you using a single row balancer? Have you done balance shaft delete? What traction bar? Link below does have one solution available.

Thanks. I am not sure what traction bar, it came with the shell I bought. It looks like a generic ebay, but I'm not 100%.

I haven't heard of the balance shaft delete.

Custom option is out of my price limit. I didn't realize this car had had the right side mount hacked out and the H series welded in when I bought it. I'd like to just get it running and get rid of it for a different CRX project because I want A/C in my car and I haven't really seen any good options for H series with A/C in crx (if you know of one please let me know.)

I am using a single row balancer. Will a balancer from an H or a different F series fit it, and if so from what year models? Thank you.

KSTUNED.com has balance shaft deletes available.

What mount kit are you using?
Pictures of the pulley you currently have?

F20B and H23 Vtec's came with a single row balancer. Pretty much the best option besides the S2000 pulley. Also Innovative has a bracket for A/C

I'll try to snap a picture of the balancer when I get home. I'm using innovative mounts. I could not find a bracket for A/C on their website for CRX. Thanks.

A/C bracket is engine specific. Here is a couple, not sure if they will work though.
