22re crank pulley and flywheel

i have tried a search, but i didn't find any answers to my questions.
1. is there a lighter crank pulley available?
2. is there a lighter flywheel available?
3. is my engine internally balanced? it looks like it, but i just want to make sure. i read on another thread that if the pulley is used to balance the engine and you change it to one that is not, you'll wear out the engine faster.
i have a 22re.

There are plenty of people here that know about the 22RE. This weekend is kinda slow because of the holidays. You might want to repost the title to your thread. Try putting "22RE" at the beginning.

I would contact LC engineering. While their customer service practices are questionable, they do know a ton about 22RE's. Yes, there is a lighter crank pulley available. I am sure Unorthodox Racing has one. They may even have the lightened fliywheel you are asking about. A lot of circle track racers use the 22RE, so there is a plethora of parts out there for it. Try a search on Google and see what you can find. I know the info is out there, you just have to look a little harder.

yes, all toyota engines are now internally balanced.
No need to worry about it.

Jamie was probably saying that at some point or another, Toyota engines were not internally balanced.

i found a lighter crank and flywheel, if anyone wants to know, at www.lcengineering.com. they have alot of performance parts for the 20r, 22r, 22re, 2RZ, and 3RZ engines.
i still have a question that was in my first post on this thread: is the 22re internally balanced?

since toy283 beat me too it, i will ask you a question, why would you want a lighter flywheel?

a lighter one will let it rev faster, but you will loose torque. just my $.02

i want more horsepower! that's all. i'm thinking that a lighter flywheel and a smaller, lighter crank pulley should give me at least 10-15 horses. since i can't get a supercharger like all the 2nd and 3rd gens, and i don't like turbos, i'm trying to get more horsepower from the engine itself. and because it's easier right now since my entire engine is laying in parts all over my house.

ok, now it makes sense.

but you know, you can get a supercharger for it. call LC enginnering and see if they have the one out yet for the 22re. last i heard they were in development, but that was a while ago.

but it costs alot. i can buy another 4Runner with that money.

thats why i said call them. or e-mail could work too, see if they have any new news on it, or if they have given up.

and i know what you mean with the efi performer motor, nice, but you pay.
