hey guys,

my DR30 (FJ20ET) blew about 3 alternators with the previous owner, and current one rattles badly ... i traced the problem to the crank pulleys or harmonic balancer or watever the proper term is (im not much of a mechanic haha)

the front crank pulley is fixed, but then the rear 2 pulleys that are connected as 1, one to the alternator and one to the a/c pump, i understand these are meant to 'float' slightly on the shaft, but mine are worn or something inside and move heaps, as in they move and hit the block and hit the crank pulley (up and down entire shaft of movement)

as such, one of the pulleys is badly ground away on 1 side from scraping on the crank pulley, and the alternator's blowing bearings pulling the thing into line all the time.

i was just curious if anyone has had similar problems? im a car mod nut, so i was curious if their are any after market pulley kits available to replace my worn pulleys with? or is it just best to try and get hold of second hands pulley and shaft bearing or watever it needs?

i know GFB do pulley kits so i checked their site but they have nothing for FJ20, so just thought id query if anyone else has had similar problems and knows of aftermarket pulleys or the like. I always try to upgrade when i break something ! ! ;D haha

im in perth btw ..

cheers,

ant

    • How many of you guys run the synchro os giken set and at what power? Do you then also use the billet plate?  How is it launching with it, any dragy times from 0-60? 60ft?
    • Oh, also, forgot to add these photos I believe.
    • Thought i'd update on this. I was able to get in contact with Craig Lieberman and later on Darryl Alison (owner of Kaizo Industries). Darryl was able to help me verify that my car was in fact one of theirs and is helping me find more info on mine !
    • There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.
    • Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂
