That's the s2 engine (the later one). Any balancer from VN s2 to VR should fit.

Hi mate just grab the engine number from your engine and take it to Repco or supercheap and they will tell you which one u need cause vn-vr (unsure about ecotec) have to different balancers they look the same on the outside but the inside it is different (the way it connects to the crank)

Yes, as I mentioned above, the series one is different (as it uses a different crank). Vn s2-vr should be the same

Strange that Repco could not help, when. I replaced mine there was two different balancers gave them my engine number and found which one I needed as the input shafts are different. Hope u get it sorted
