Wonga Spar Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 (edited) So the two rings of the crank pulley have seperated (with the inner ring stuck on the car) and I need to source a replacement urgently. The Supra-tax on crank pulleys is pretty terrifying, so ideally I'd get an aftermarket one. I don't suppose anybody could point me in the right direction? A bit of reading suggests there's a lot of things to avoid when buying them (like lightweight, non-dampened, under drive?) so I'm slightly nervous about fitting something just because the seller says it's fine. As always any advice is hugely appreciated! OEM is £200+ I was made redundant about 4 hours ago.... Would this be okay? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Toyota-Supra-1993-2002-3-0i-BiTurbo-Crank-Crankshaft-Damper-TVD-Pulley/362462973549?fits=Car+Make%3AToyota%7CModel%3ASupra%7CCars+Type%3A3.0i%7CPlat_Gen%3AJZA8_%7CCars+Year%3A1995%7CVariant%3AJZA8_+%5B1993-2002%5D+Coupe&hash=item54647a0e6d:g:JY0AAOSwclVbyd74:rk:1:pf:1&frcectupt=true Edited January 22, 2019 by Wonga Spar (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ric Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 The Febest will be ok on a budget, just don't expect it to last as long as the OEM one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dnk Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 I wouldn't fit a Febest one after reading this posted by Chris Wilson recently quote Pitiful as in probably never balanced, just as is off the CNC. For laughs I put a Febest or whatever they are called on the balancer and it was a mile out. I too found it rather suspicious it had no drillings for balance... I have a mandrel for balancing the dampers separately from the crank, and for flywheels, the damned thing was jumping off the machine Balancing one, assuming the bonding is as good as OE puts the cost up there with an original, which have always proven bob on. It was customer supplied so after balancing I fitted it and it was hardly a a pull on fit on an unworn crank nose, too. So all in all rather suspect.

Scooter Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 may be look at local breakers for GS300's or IS300's and get a used one for the short term given your news. Hope you find something else quickly, at least it doesn't seem to have caused any other damage when it broke? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 ive got a febest one on mine so far its all good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kendo11 Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 I've used a Febest one for several years now with no issues. I'd only ever go with OEM or Febest though. There are apparently some cheap Chinese ones that aren't very good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
