Son of a bitch, and I just bought one of banzai's w/o the rotor. But, for half the price, I can live without the rotor I guess. F*** it, I'll powdercoat one on there. :D

V8slayer 12-24-07 08:36 AM

red_s5_fc3s 12-24-07 10:17 AM

RotaryResurrection 12-24-07 01:58 PM

IF you want one w/o the rotor, just get this:

Holy shit, I guess I was wrong. the $45 pulley from banzai has the rotor machined into it! I could not tell based on the small pics on the ebay site. This thing kicks ass!

Silverfc88 12-24-07 05:38 PM

Yeah thats the one I'm running. Great price and great quality.

hIGGI 12-25-07 04:21 AM

guess whole question is solved then......get it from banzaitoyota :D

it says it eliminates water pump slippage when the airpump is removed....

will it work the same if the airpump is still there?

J-Rat 12-28-07 11:56 AM

No colors though!

:(

My Higgi pulley is anodized blue!

cozmosland 12-28-07 12:16 PM

No. Thats the point of the dual sheath pulley, to restore the 2nd belt on the waterpump that gets eliminated when you ditch the airpump. If you're still running an airpump, you already have both belts on the waterpump and thus can't fit a 2nd belt on the alternator.

isn't there an off the shelf pully with the right dimensions already?

I think that might be as close as "off the shelf" your gonna get.

Akagis_white_comet 12-29-07 10:31 PM

I am in need of this pulley as well.

RotaryResurrection 12-29-07 11:47 PM

I think banzai has them in stock?

Gringo Grande 12-30-07 02:56 PM

I just ordered one from Banzai as well. Looks good!

my FD pulley has an "extension" off hte back to serve as a spacer on the drive-shaft. is this normal? because most of the dual pully ones ive seen do not have this extension.

It's normal for an FD pulley...

+1 just ordered one too.

dean23 01-01-08 08:25 PM

i just bought one from banzai and was wondering if it had that "extension" on the back that i was talkin about. it didnt liik like it from the pics... and if no, where an i get a spacer for the pulley?

RotaryResurrection 01-01-08 09:06 PM

It comes ready to install on teh FD alternator, no spacer needed.

The FC alternator uses a small spacer ring and then the pulley parts (they are in halves) go on top of that.

The FD alternator uses a single pulley with the spacer made into it, and no spacer on the shaft.

Banzaitoyota's pulley works the same way.

I did notice that I had to run a couple of small spacer washers with mine, because the back of the pulley would not clear the front of the alternator case. However, I had my alternator and pulley apart and powdercoated, which sometimes affects the fitment clearances of parts. I could have ground on the front of the alternator a little but I just ran 2 of the thin copper crush washers that rx7s use for the oil cooler lines, and its working fine now.

Sideways7 01-01-08 09:52 PM

Awesome, your a lifesaver Kevin! I have a FD alt and the pulley doesn't quite fit (the extension isn't enough). Now I can just use some of my spare oil cooler washers. Baddass.

RotaryResurrection 01-01-08 09:54 PM

dont put a ton of torque on the puley, though, or you'll crush the washers.
