Balance-shaft eliminators(power-adders) for an sr?

[**DONOTDELETE**]

Balance Shaft Eliminator Kit $49
Includes a new oil pump stub shaft, inserts for blocking oil flow to where the old bearings were, and a seal for the front balance shaft. Removing the balance shafts will free up 8-12 Hp.

Good:
More HP to the wheels
Zero chance the B-Belt will fail and kill the timing belt
Zero chance the balance shaft bearings will fail and damage the rest of the motor
More oil pressure to the rest of the motor
Bad:

More vibration is felt in side the car (no more is made, just more is felt)
Every car is different, some motors are more balanced than others. It is no worse that any other 2.0 liter car with out balance shafts
Ugly:

To install the kit, you will need to also remove the entire oil pump assy to gain access to the balance shafts. You need to knock out the balance shaft bearings and press in the new block off sleeves. To get the balance shafts out you need to remove the DP, oil pan, the transfer case and drop the motor down by removing two motor mounts and loosening the other two. Even if you are already doing a timing belt, there is still lots of additional work, but they do have instructions. You will also need the oil pump gasket and the oil filter housing gasket for your year vehicle. The oil pan goes on with silicone. It is a full weekend job laying under the car with oil dripping on your face for the average guy doing it at home with the motor in the car.

This is designed for any 4g63
This sounds great for any car does the sr have balance shafts? If so would this be adasptable to us?

SR does not have balance shaft like the 4G63.
The balance shaft belt was added in the 4G63 to smooth out the engine idle. However many elect to take them out to get more power to the wheel as stated, and not much engine vibration was felt. They actually create more problem as if they snap with age and can lead to bent valves and engine rebuild.

Taking them out is good! Both for reliability and performance.
