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

    • Why are you so adamant on going M12? Why not follow Brad (GTSBoy) suggestion. You're talking moving from a 1/8" size, to a 1/2" effectively. 4 times bigger. Why skip the commonly available sizes in between? The bigger you go, the more likely you are to strip the threads out at a later date, as guaranteed, someone will put a huge spanner on the M12 and really tighten it up, and you're only in thin wall, so not a lot of threads to engage!
    • Hi. Yeah thanks. Car is already at tuners and it staying there to resolve "many" issues they do not like. So it is in a good hands. Getting a good tune on that Nistune ECU too so the car would be good. Just needs a little tune up and love.
    • Probably gonna remove manifold and turbo. I’m not sure if I can get M12 x 1.5 air tight. Could use high temp Loctite 246 or something similar, but I don’t know. Maybe it’s just best to remove everything again and weld an 1/8NPT on there instead.
    • Yeah, saw the ratios, not impressed. Would like the punch I have in the first gears now. With those ratios it won't be the same.  Also want the h pattern gearing, or at least a quiet gear set that don't need to come apart for service each year. Looks like the only "reasonable" way Is a 8hp70 transmission, but where is the fun in that🤷‍♂️
