KS Tuned Balance Shaft Eliminator Kit for Honda H-Series Engines

The KS Tuned Balance Shaft Eliminator Kit KST-0002 is a specialist engine upgrade developed for performance-focused Honda H22A, H22A1 and H23 Non-VTEC engines.

Honda’s H-Series engines use a balance shaft assembly to reduce engine vibration during normal road use. For modified, high-performance and motorsport engines, builders may choose to eliminate the balance shaft system as part of a more focused engine configuration.

The KS Tuned KST-0002 Balance Shaft Eliminator Kit provides the precision components required to properly remove the balance shaft system while correctly sealing the associated oil passages.

Whether you’re building a modified Honda Prelude, an H-Series-powered Honda Accord, or completing an H22 engine swap, the KS Tuned balance shaft delete kit provides a proven solution for simplifying the factory balance shaft arrangement.

Precision Billet Construction

Rather than relying on improvised plugs or modified factory components, the KS Tuned kit uses purpose-designed billet parts engineered specifically for the Honda H-Series oil system.

The kit incorporates a billet aluminium block-off plate and billet aluminium crankshaft spacer, together with the plugs required to correctly block the balance shaft oil passages.

This makes the KST-0002 particularly suitable for professional engine builds where reliability, fitment and oil-system integrity are important.

Helps Maintain Oil Pressure

Removing the factory balance shafts without correctly addressing their oil passages can affect the engine’s lubrication system.

The KS Tuned balance shaft eliminator solution includes the necessary plugs to block the balance shaft bearing oil passages and help maintain oil pressure after the system has been removed.

The design allows the balance shaft bearing passages to be blocked without requiring removal of the balance shaft bearings themselves.

Billet aluminium plugs are also supplied for the oil pump.

Reduced Rotating Components

Eliminating the factory balance shaft system removes components that are no longer required in many dedicated performance engine builds.

Potential benefits include:

• Reduced rotating components within the engine
• Simplified H-Series engine configuration
• Reduced parasitic load associated with driving the balance shaft system
• Cleaner performance-oriented engine setup
• Improved suitability for competition and high-RPM engine builds

The modification is particularly popular during complete H22/H23 engine rebuilds or when preparing an H-Series engine for track, race or engine-swap applications.

FAQ

What engines does KS Tuned KST-0002 fit?

The KST-0002 version is designed for relevant Honda H22A, H22A1 and H23 Non-VTEC / OBD1 engines. Confirm your exact engine code before ordering.

What does a balance shaft eliminator kit do?

The kit allows the factory balance shaft system to be removed while correctly sealing the related oil passages and maintaining the engine’s oil-system configuration.

Does the kit include an oil pump?

KST-0002 is the balance shaft elimination component kit and is designed to work with an OEM Honda oil pump. Do not confuse it with KS Tuned packages that include a new oil pump.

Does it fit H22A4 or H22A7 engines?

Do not use KST-0002 purely on the basis that the engine is an H22. KS Tuned lists different configurations for later H22A4/H22A7 OBD2 applications.

Does it fit H23 VTEC?

This KST-0002 application is intended for H23 Non-VTEC. H23 VTEC applications require the appropriate alternative kit/configuration.

Is professional installation recommended?

Yes. Balance shaft elimination involves the engine lubrication system and oil pump. Installation should therefore be carried out by a competent engine builder or technician familiar with Honda H-Series engines.
