i currently have a fully disassembled h22 and was wondering how bad it would be to remove the gear on the end of it to free up parasitic drag from the timing belt......is this a bad idea????

 

just leave them in there and just dont put the belt back on ?

 

Is it really going to free up all that much?

DLB, you really need to do a solid run all the way down the track, I want more numbers out of your set-up.

 

i dont know how much whp it will free up never done a dyno before and after

yeh tell me about it i have not had time to mess with it i got some intercooler piping i gota fix , i know it will go faster i just dont know how much i got the boost up to 26psi on a street tune from the old 20psi when i ran that time and i upgraded the intercooler thats about is other then i pulled 100lb out the car

i guess ill see before the season over

 

will disconnecting/removeing the balencing shafts make it idle like shit and also affect drivability??????????/

 

DSM guys have been removing their front balance shafts for years. It does add a bit more vibration at idle, but it will rev more freely and you will not have to worry about the bs belt breaking. Not sure if the same goes true for Honda motors?
