We run a ATI balancer for 3 years, Had it rebuilt each season just for PM.
We have never broke a STOCK OIL PUMP so that says something about their balancer.
OH yeah, and because we have the WORLDS FASTEST FWD HONDA in dragracing history. Yep in a HOTROD car.
But seriously they are awesome balancers! I need one for my 1g DSM if someone want to give me a good price!

An aftermarket balancer is useful for achieving more precise timing, especially at higher RPM so it can help to raise the redline.
ReplyDeleteI'd consider it more of a "fine tuning" addition, used to get the most out of a built motor.
It can also make the motor run a little smoother, depending on how balanced it is to begin with.
Whether or not it's worth spending the money is your personal preference. I'm not familiar with the differences between your stock and N1 pulleys but check their sizes.
Smaller than stock will underdrive the alternator and Hondas already don't generate alot of electricity at idle.
When the engine moves through its rpm range, the speed at which the power pulses from ignition of the air/fuel mixture will eventually match the natural frequency of the crankshaft.
ReplyDeleteWhen this happens, the vibrations moving through the crank will build upon each other and gain strength, often with damaging results.
Running an engine without protection from these vibrations can cause
flexplate or flywheel failure,
loosened bolts,
broken timing chains,
along with erratic timing and valvetrain functions.
The crankshaft will fatigue and eventually fail, usually at the snout.
