{"product_id":"disi-mzr-balance-shaft-delete-kit","title":"DISI MZR Balance Shaft Delete Kit","description":"By removing the factory balance shaft, this kit reduces engine weight by about 18 lbs, which directly contributes to a small performance gain. More significantly, the decrease in rotating mass allows the engine to rev faster, improving responsiveness, enabling easier rev matching, and freeing up a few extra horsepower.\n\nEngine protection is a key aspect of this kit, featuring an oil pan baffle that ensures a consistent oil level, even during aggressive driving. This prevents oil starvation and protects vital engine components. The baffle also functions as a windage tray, reducing oil aeration and improving lubrication. The oil block-off plug is precision-machined from stainless steel and utilizes a fluoroelastomer O-ring, capable of withstanding temperatures up to 400°F, to ensure optimal sealing of the oil supply passage. This design has been proven to maintain oil pressure on high-horsepower Mazdaspeed3 engines.\n\nConstructed from laser-cut and precision-machined stainless steel, all components of the kit offer robust strength and longevity. The use of stainless steel provides greater rigidity compared to aluminum alternatives, allowing for a 2.5mm thick O-ring for superior oil sealing. The oil pan baffle is secured with stainless rivets and features a 0.060” thick sheet to prevent vibration and rattles. The kit comes pre-assembled for convenience.\n\nVehicle fitment includes the 2007-2013 Mazdaspeed 3, 2006-2007 Mazdaspeed 6, and 2007-2012 Mazda CX-7. Installation is estimated to take five hours with a difficulty rating of 4\/5. It is important to note that the installation of this kit will increase NVH (noise, vibration, and harshness). The kit is backed by a 2-year limited warranty and includes full-color installation instructions.","brand":"CorkSport","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52687469314360,"sku":"GEN-6-504-10","price":119.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0970\/4895\/3144\/files\/660686841.jpg?v=1784884500","url":"https:\/\/store.motormia.co\/products\/disi-mzr-balance-shaft-delete-kit","provider":"MOTORMIA","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
