ok so for a while now i've also been a part of the "not a balancer/just a pulley" bandwagon, but just for arguments sake i'll post up this screenshot of a SAE technical paper written about the EJ series motor written by fuji heavy ltd. employees in 1989.
Take from it what you will, but as you can see the highlighted part decribes a "double mass harmonic balancer" when pointing out the crank pulley. Now this was written in 1989 so the design may have changed since the introduction of the EJ, but I'm pretty sure that nothing as major as the harmonic balence of the motor has been changed.

If anyone wants to host a 17pg, 1.2MB pdf file you all can see the rest, its really quite interesting.
