I don't know where you'd find one. But I'm sure there is a shop in the US that has one. I'm not really sure that a harmonic balance really does much for your engine. It hasn't caught on too much so I'm guessing it shows little to no affect. All it really does is strengthen the block. Nothing to do with performance. I honestly wouldn't waste the money.

Hey, Ryan! This guy's a newbie, man! He doesn't need any smartass answers like, "One you can put in your garage?"!!! :D ;) <P>Like Ryan implied, MX-3 engines don't have harmonic balancers as found on Chevy and Ford V-8s. The crankshaft pulleys are balanced at the factory to make sure they don't add to any vibration but don't believe they're designed to dampen the rotating assembly (crank, rods, pistons, flywheel) vibrations like harmonic balancers.

if u r looking for a stock replacement crank pully than the dealer or a salvage yard( i sugest the dealer) if u r looking for a true "harmonic balincer" then i would have to agree and say that i dont think anyone maces one. but the stock mx-3 crank pully is a 2 piece pully with a thin piece of rubber between the inside and the out side pieces. this thin rubber piece has some dampining ability. hope this helped
