Kazienspeed Balance Shaft Removal

Are there anyother options besides buying one from kazien speed for 125 dollars. That seems a bit much for what it is. I remember when they first came out they were like 75 bucks.

Are there any other alternatives to buying this.

Just remove the balancer shaft belt if you want less mass on the rotating assembly. Same performance gain but you dont get the extra oil pressure or weight reduction that the kaizenspeed kit gives you

Thanks, Im really looking for a whole shaft delete kit that includes a similar hardware to kazienspeed.

What size belt do you get if you just disconnect the belt from the balancer shaft pulley? Where do you get it.

You don't need a balance belt if you remove it. It connects to nothing else.

nope, the balancer belt only drives the front and rear shafts.

So Ive been examining the oil pump looking for alternative methods for the highly over priced kazien speed.

What exactly does the kit let you do. I saw the online picture but cant really determine what it entails.

I do however see a bunch of little holes in the rear balancer shaft. So Im asuming the kit comes with little plugs to plug those holes up. I dont see why you couldnt use some JB Weld over the outside of the holes.

Now does the kit actually let you remove the front and rear balance shafts and include plugs to fill the holes?

Are you wanting to remove the shaft for better oiling? Otherwise you can just leave the belt off and everything will work fine. My belt has been off for a few years.

That is not what Im asking. Im asking if the kit Kazien has alows you to remove the front and rear balance shafts.

Im after the extra oil pressure that Kazein Kit offers. There kit includes plugs and Im pretty sure their purpose is to block off the rear balance shaft pulley underneath the rear pulley where the gears meet inside.

There are no pictures in that thread.

I appreciate you trying to help, but can someone tell me what the kit includes and what it blocks off?
