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

    • Haha im flattered! Although my poor boat is collecting dust in the garage, as it hasn’t been driven in like 6 months. I forgot the to put the trickle charger on too, so the battery is likely toast now.. I have the frenchys kit. It is fantastic. My only gripe was that the hard lines from the firewall needed some tweaking, however, this was mainly due to my specific turbo and dump combo. The weight and size packaging is much nicer too. I think I have some pics on my build thread somewhere.. my justification for the kit was more “why not” I had gone to the trouble to modernise just about every other part of the car..
    • Actually, ethanol has probably never been cheaper, on a tax free basis, than petrol. With fuel excise being what it is, and only being levied on the hydocarbon component, not the ethanol component, and ethanol for non-drinking purposes not being subject to liquor excise - E85 was cheaper, but not because the combustible liquid itself was particularly cheaper.
