Jwt Balance Shaft Removal Kit

4665 Views 15 Replies 5 Participants Last post by  Immortallis
Guys...just want to let you know that the Kits from JWT are a little on the limited side... I would snag one while you can if you plan on doing this upgrade... I'm not saying that they won't make additional ones, but if the demand doesn't pan out...ya never know...

We plan on installing one in Project Spec V in the coming months to help explain everything.

You can't beat a 10HP gain for under $100 !

I hope you are plannig to ground the knock sensor. If you do not you may not see any gain at all. :D

Yeah I still gotta get around to buying another knock sensor...

Or getting someone else to go buy me one :)

Then I'll fill in the engine mounts with window weld and pick up the Balnce shaft removal kit.
Still debating personally wether to buy kit or just have chain cut...

I like the much cleaner implementation of the kit but I like the 'stealth' of just cutting the chain since I've got a lot of warrenty left still :(

Damn I wish I didnt buy extended warrenty :)
im very excited to see the dyno results of the additional balance shaft removal kit and grounded knock sensor if one is taken, on top of the CAI and header.

and thanks for the tip!
I should have dyno results on the knock sensor by the end of the month. I already have dyno numbers with every mod on the car before and after.:D

it stiffens the motor mounts supposedly. I think it just makes a mess;)
ahh ok thanks

kinda reminds me of chaining a high output small block 350 to the frame. had to do that once in a truck i had. the engine kept snapping motor mounts. but with close to 400hp and 450 lbs/ft. of torque, i could see why.
sorry that this is unrelated to the thread topic but,

once the mounts break, where does all the force goto next? eg. what breaks after the mounts let go.

the tranny and drive shafts would be next to break:D

i just posted about the balance shaft in bye bye balance shafts and i was wondering about the knock sensor you mentioned. you are going to grind it? i am not sure about Nissans, but most knock sensors operate on a tuned piezoelectric ceramics that are usually screwed in the block, unless Nissan has the "banjo" (flat response) style knock sensor that bolts on the block rather than screwed in one(Broadband) which makes a difference in how much it is torqued down. the bolt down ones(flat response) can be used on different engines cause of the variable frequency design. the screw in(Broadband) can also be used on other engines, but must be torqued to manufacturors specs.

anyone here know what kind is on the 2.5? i would like to know.

Filling in the Engine mounts helps reduce wheel hop from my bad launches. :)

Yes its messy. But worth it in my opinion.

Here is Jim Wolf doing it:

Place Racing should have real motor mounts is a few months ;)

Yep PR is just probing at the interest level right now.

I think u12bnextsentra (on b15sentra.net) is looking to put a bulk order in to get them made and will sell them.

I bought my AEM CAI off him.. and everything went well.
