Is the SR20DE crankshaft fully counterweighted?

Familiar with what year I'll need for my rear-drive DET?

I'd be willing to bet that S13/14 DETs are 8 weight for sure, but S15s may be 4 weight.

Regardless, I don't think the FWD and RWD crankshafts are going to be quite the same.

I've heard rumblings that they are? I don't know but I have a rear drive SR20DET long block that has knock. Don't feel like replacing the bearings so I'm in the market for a crankshaft.

A bit of hunting tells me that they are the same. Kind of surprising, but whatever.

Go for a 8 counterweight one.
