    Illusive single groove BP balancer/pulley

    I know there's been a million threads on this subject (because i've read them all) but I keep reading about this single groove balancer/pulley that will fit the BP engine. I've read the festiva has one but I'm not sure if the festive has a big nosed crank or small one. I'm obsessed with reducing rotating mass from my current engine build and would like to find this balancer if it exists. I'm specifically looking for a single grooved v-belt balancer/pulley for a big nosed crank. Does it exist and if so what car can I find it in?

    After more searching and reading the thread about mazdapr's bp swap the word on the street is the 90's festiva has the balancer i'm looking for.

      Once you source the festiva pulley, why not weigh them and post the differences
      I live my life a quarter pounder at a time. And for those 500 calories or more, I'm free. I need FRIES! Two of them. The big ones. Oh, and I need them tonight. You're lucky the double shot of BBQ sauce didn't blow the seam on your nugget box. There she is, 2 pounds of pure beef. My dad ate it in 9.0 seconds flat. Check it out, it's like this. If I lose, winner takes my happy meal. But if I win, I take the burger and the toy. To some people, that's more important.

            The harmonic balancer/bottom pulley that runs the water pump/alt. belt. If I can find one I will give a full report with pics.

                          My protege is a track only car. No A/C or P/S. It already has the B8 crank which is about 9 lbs lighter but I want more (or less).

                            Do you have to take the crank bolt out? On the BP with the big nosed crank the dampner comes off with 4 10mm bolts. Maybe the festiva is different?
