jammyb86 Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 got into my supra back from work and was moving it back so my flatmate could put his R6 in the garage but my foot slipped and revved my supra hard on start up, and cold engine, the i heard a horrific crash in the engine bay. switched it off opened the boot, and my fan has been shredded??? all I can find is a metal round ring that looks like a belt goes on it but can't see where it has come from but my fan is totally bust advice on what to do would be helpful. Please advise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caseys Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 (edited) It at the bottom of your engine? the crank pulley outer ring has probably separated from the pulley and the belt has minced your fan. Have a read : http://mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?t=35945&highlight=crank+pulley Look like that? If so buy a new OEM pulley is my advice. You'll also obviously need new fan, check the shroud's ok, new cam belt required too. Some buy a solid pulley but say the damping effect is gone.

jammyb86 Posted July 31, 2009 Author Share Posted July 31, 2009 yeah it looks like the bit the £1 coin is sat on in the picture that you posted that link on. Sounds right that the outer crank pulley ring has come off and destroyed my fan. So you recommend a new crank pully? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds right that the outer crank pulley ring has come off and destroyed my fan. So you recommend a new crank pully? New crank pulley is needed, you can't really put that back on... New fan. Wonder if the viscous coupler will be fine? Unsure. Others will need to advise you on that one New cam belt (MHO - precautionary measure) The whole pulley hasn't come off has it? the pulley is now smoothed yes? as in the outer ring (with the grooves) - the dampening section has come off? I'd worry if the whole pulley has come off. BTW you will need a specific tool to remove/fit a new one if you DIY. Give Steve Manley a call - http://mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?t=41383 OEM pulley may be more expensive than others like Titan etc. I'm sure some others will weigh in here Be glad it came off when you weren't out somewhere stranded mate! I had one separate and I got a flatbed home 2 hours later... luckily mine exited neatly and fan was fine, the aux belt even stayed on the pulley somehow!

jammyb86 Posted July 31, 2009 Author Share Posted July 31, 2009 yeah the belt is still on it is just that damper part i believe just popped out and destroyed my fan but it does need a new belt, wheres best to pick these parts up, i made the mistake with my old mr2 roadster of going thought toyota for parts, very expensive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A non OEM pulley will be cheaper, but may introduce crankshaft vibration with the damping affect of the stock one. Other person I'd try would be Paul Whiffin (http://www.whifbitz.co.uk). Maybe you could get the fan from a breaker's like Keron on here. Don't think that's really worth buying new Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edge Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 As mentioned above also get a new cambelt fitted as its false economy not to and dont bother wasting money on non oem parts unless they are decent well known bits. Have fun getting the rest of the pulley off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jammyb86 Posted August 2, 2009 Author Share Posted August 2, 2009 found these on ebay will they be alright, going to put a new cambelt and waterpump and fan as well. Do you think I will need anything else Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieP Posted August 2, 2009 Share Posted August 2, 2009 Dont fit that ebay sh1t, go OEM or something like boostlogic/titan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
