Jellybean Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 (edited) Hey Heard it was common practice to replace the 2jz TENSIONER ASSY with the more heavy duty 1jz unit and negate the need for the ABSORBER SUB-ASSY, BELT TENSIONER 16602-46010 I take it the Timing Belt Tensioner Bracket and Upper Shock Arm would be redundant too? Any pro's or cons? Edited December 9, 2014 by Jellybean More info (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swampy442 Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 The tensioner assembly is the same between both engines, the damper is fitted to manual cars I believe, to stop the belt bouncing on gear changes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jellybean Posted December 9, 2014 Author Share Posted December 9, 2014 Ah ok , was told the spring in the 1jz tensioner was stronger , reason why a 1jz has no shock absorber I have have no experience of a 1jz so just took them at their word Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swampy442 Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 You have to ask why the spring would be stronger, no reason I can see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swampy442 Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 Nah, not true. Auto 2JZs don't have dampers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
