hi,

was wondering if I could see a few variations of tensioner / idler setups for the old 30det.

Also what modifications were required to the lower and upper covers (if any) were made (also 30 lower cover / 26 lower cover??)

My twin pulley (idler and tensioner) was done by nisspeed and is a bolt on application (i believe). I'm using a 30 lower cover and all the holes line up and i had to cut out the side and weld in a rolled section for the bulge of the idler (on the exhaust side).

I mated this up with a 26 top cover and the gap is hideous, the belt is close to the cam gear cover (again on the exhaust side) at the very bottom of the cover...

I think I will have to modify the cam gear cover (shorter) - then extend the lower cover (higher) to the right shape... and right clearances....

lets see some pics.

cheers

hey huddy, mine is the same...since we both have the OS giken copy tensioner plate. You will have to extend the lower cover and tig up the top cover lower passenger side. i haven't bothered as the top cover doesn't fit under the bonnet. its the price to pay to have the cam wheels line up perfectly and retain proper timing belt tension.

Nice - thanks matt! - I was wondering about yours! didn't realise it was a OS giken style setup - cool.

I've ordered a clear top cover - and I'm going to cut the bottom of that - and then extend the lower cover taller!

Getting the motor ready to be dropped in finally! :banana:

Have you had yours fully re-tuned with another fuel pump yet?

I have the additional fuel pump in, feels stronger already. The Fuel pressure is perfectly stable now. Will get it happening on the dyno soon.

$260, that was the first sample, but they are remaking the mold as there is very little room between the water pump pulley and the lower cover

yeah its the 3 layer carbon fibre not the 1 layer with fibre glass as u see how it looks like glass

the other covers arent bolted down they're just sitting there but as u see they pretty much line up

i can chuck up some photos idler/tensioner on my 25/30 if that will help. lol timing covers look shit when u twin cam the 30 block.

and yer i had to cut mine in 2 spots and probably need to take sum more out to gett better belt to cover clearance

    • You should have got a Maine Coone then. Only thing is they're big. But so cool, and just like a dog. Or, just get yourself a high performance dog. That'll teach you for wanting Parkour indoors 😛
    • Are you thinking of Bens R32? I don't remember if his went through the bonnet itself, but it went through the chassis rail. Brad (RISKIN) bought it, and turned it into a track car. It's funny how anti people are of Jim Berry now. I remember when I pulled mine out (during an engine change) and inspected it and found it cracking badly. At that point in time so many people were even on SAU, were so pro Jim Berry, and that was after Bens GTR exploded his quite publically.
    • That's one of the reasons I got that breed, they look weird, the other reasons are they small, they are very vocal, and run around like they are on crack, I didn't want a breed that just sits around, these two are like kids on red cordial  My daughter has one, and it's a laugh riot, constantly doing Parkour around the house, sits on her shoulder, plays catch, and constantly runs around the house taking turns chasing the dog around, her Bermese though, just lays around with constant bitch face, and just looks on in utter disgust at the cat and dog playing together 
    • I'm getting PTSD flashbacks seeing that name again.  With my turbo swift, I got 1,500km of street use on a Jim Berry clutch before it exploded and took out my input shaft with it.
