Just wondering.

 

well your water pump may slip leading to an overheated engine

 

I haven't had any problems for over a year now. But am still upgrading to a dual ALT pulley soon. But what about the main crank pulley's, is nothing thrown off balance by doing this?

 

Had a buddy run like that for over a year and a half, on a mildly modded TII. No problems yet.

 

or just get the pineapple racing alternator relocation cit and you wont have to worry about ANYTHING

 

i just recieved that kit.B-E-A-UTIFUL....... but anyways...... ive run my car like that on a slightly modded t2 w/ no problems for over 2 years..... and have never heard any of my friends that did it say they had problems! so id say your pretty safe....just make sure the belt is snug! if you hear it squeel when you rev it up, tighten it (this is for noobs.....not saying YOU are, but there are people out there that will think this is new info )

 

Or buy a set of RE pulleys and beat all of the other options

 

hmm I havent put my front pulley on yet ,but I dont have 4 bolts for that and the front main seal metaql thing. it will only tak one the others wont line up

 

Try turning the pulley and doing it again. It only lines up one way.

 

I still run a dual pulley with my pineapple reclocation bracket. Yes it provides more contact area after being relocated, but I still prefer having both grooves taken care of.

 

or just use gilmour drives

 

oooooooooo, if only those pulleys weren't so expensive.

 

Oh and thanks for the comments everyone else.

 

i love that set, too bad you cant have ac and PS with them . . .

 

You can with RE pulleys

 

Who has the RE pulleys?

 

I do, but you can't have them.

 

Where would one purchase them?

 

Someone who installed an RE into their 2nd gen and swapped waterpumps to use the FC pump and also didn't use the serpentine's. It took me a long while to find one, usually you can try to find someone parting a RE motor or someone who's doing a swap and PM them and ask.

 

Ah, referring to the 13B-RE pullies ;o.

That's pretty romantic, thanks Sonik <3.

 

i run like that, but 2 belts and a dual alt pulley, waz all good

 

lol... i though he was referring to RE Amemiya ......lol..... oh well.......


how expensive are those other ones.. those things are down right viscous looking! i wonder if they would work with the alternator relocation kit? maybe just a longer belt? whats the website to purchase them?

 

They're usually around $400 or so, which is why i opted for the $20's for the 13B-RE pulleys

 

With the stock thermoclutch fan in place you'll find the water pump pulley will often slip (and squeal) when the fan's engaged, as one belt isn't enough to drive it. This is most noticable when accelerating away from the lights. The thermoclutch has engaged because you've been sitting a while and when the engine speed increases quickly the single belt can't keep up. A dual-belt alternator pulley and two new belts will completely solve this problem.

 

I use a dual alt pulley. Its better then risking possible engine failure.
