I having a hard time desiding what to do about he Balance shaft. Should I just leave it stock or should i do the VFaq bs eliminator(mirrage parts). I need like someone with some experience with this to help me out.

Get rid of the balance shafts, less parasitic drag and one less thing to break.

Take them out.

Sure you want to go with Slow Boy on all that shit? Last car I saw wither their rebuild kit was spending money replacing those parts.

Definitely pull them. I've seen what can happen to a block if one of the shafts spins a bearing, not a good sight.

Supposedly all of the Slowboy rebuild parts are actually Topline parts.

Yeah I know.

He just wants a STOCK rebuild, is Topline that bad? Or are those mishaps due to install errors? And Blageo23 wants to know what would be the best method to remove the shafts?

YES TAKE THEM OUT!!! or else you will get "OWNED" like i did, i'll put pictures up as soon as i get my camera working.

So what the best way to do so? Vfaqs????

**Shane@DBPerformance** · 02-17-2005

The DSM VFAQ on doing it has all the OEM factory part numbers to do the BS elim.

**JET** · 02-18-2005

Topline is junk. Definately don't buy that, and yes take out the balance shafts.

blageo23 · 02-18-2005

WTF! Why is topline junk? Personal experience? Im not looking to have 600hp. I just want a simple rebuild. And I dont have a million dollars to spend. Whats another way I could do it? And yes ok i got it ill take out he balance shafts but how? Whats the best way?

"Search" is your friend.

Agreed.....the balance shafts FAQ (www.vfaq.com) explains it very well with pics. I have always used the 'kit' or the factory 1.6L stuff. Not only does it get rid of those pesky BS's that love to spin bearings or get old and wobbly and get all wallowed in your block (which hurts oil pressure BADLY), the infamous BS belt is often known for breaking sooner than the main TB and often gets caught up in the main TB and we all know what that means. So do yourself a favor, make your engine spin faster, make more oil pressure, make more hp and generally be more reliable......ditch those bad boys.

And as for the Topline stuff........there's just something about a COMPLETE rebuild kit for under $500. Most of the oil pumps alone are $200+ and pistons are $150-200. They must be cutting corners somewhere.

I was reading on DSMTuners and one of the post said that Pro Topline supplies Mitsubishi thus Pro Topline is OEM. If thats the truth then how can it be bad?

just curious since i sell these parts for the b/s elim, how well does this work?

Well they say you can gain 5-10hp from it, and that it will increase your oil pressure. you'll never have to worry about your balance shaft belt ever braking and possibly destroying you motor. I guess the only down fall would be that your motor is going to vibrate in the higher RPM'S.

(Personally i've havent done it yet this is just what i've read) i plan on doing it to my new motor that i'm building now, so i'm kinda woundering how well it works too.
