Engine ? - 6/21/2004 9:50:54 PM    xraymankb   Posts: 23 Joined: 6/21/2004 Status: offline Heres my question. I bought a 89 Daytona, not sure if it just plain or ES. replacing engine. It has the 2.5L non-turbo one and I keep hearing about these balancing shafts and disconnecting them for more hp on the engine. How does that work, so I can do it before puttin the new engine in. Can anyone help? _____________________________ xraymankb 89 Daytona RED Post #: 1

Removing the balance shafts frees up some horsepower. _____________________________ 71 Plymouth Roadrunner 440 Auto. Modified 04 Dodge SRT-4 2.4L DOHC Turbo Intercooled 5-spd.

DO NOT forget to to plug the oil feed gally to the balance shaft assy or you will have 0 oild pressure and could possably wreck the top end before you can say "where is the oil pressure" See here for balance shaft removal -----> http://www.turbovan.net/balshaft.html < Message edited by 87Indy500 -- 6/22/2004 12:48:04 PM > _____________________________ Troy 87 Dakota 4X4 Indy500 Pace Truck 87 Dakota 2X4 360/727 87 Shelby GLHS #844 87 Shadow ES Turbo 85 GLH Omni Turbo (blue) 86 GLH Omni Turbo (blue too) 74 Dart Sport 360/727/8 3/4 70 Challenger 440/727/8 3/4 68 Dart GTS 340/4-sp (in reply to xraymankb) Post #: 4
