Does ne one know where i can buy a delete kit for the balance shafts on the N/A. Or if they is a diy way of removing them thanks j

Level zero motorsport make a kit of bushes to be installed in the existing bushes. They block the oil ways. The shafts are stock shafts cut in a lathe.There is a core charge because you have to send back your stock shafts

LZM delete kit

It's not reversible.
You can also push (by 7.5 mm) the existing bushes to block the oil ways and cut your own shafts

Or buy neutral shafts from GM (but they are heavy and not cheap) or from ZZ performance (cheaper and lighter)
The neutral shafts is a reversible modification.
ZZ Performance

Worth talking to Vocky on here he's the on these sort of things

No need to buy anything. Your existing balance shafts can be cut down to turn them into basically just idler wheels. Then with the careful application of a hammer on a socket attached to an extension bar, the bearings inside the block can be knocked the few mm's further into the block to block the oilway. It's an engine out job whatever. Pretty sure Vocky has done a guide on the Z22SE site.

I've got a lightened flywheel. AFAIK it's just got a standard clutch.
