well on my red mr2 4age the crank was fair scratched, they had to do a full grind rather than a hone and give me oversized bearings, cost me $60 to get it ground

yeah im with wiso on this one $20 hes not going to get rid of it for more than than espc if it needs a regrind might be worth negotiating that if it is beyond repair that you can get your money back

hahah nope its going to be off the road for about 3 months im going to do things properly so this has been on my to do list for some time.
I dont need half the crap in that loom so the junk is comming out.
It is a bit of a nightmare i looked at it last night and just thought why did i start this but bit by bit its getting better its a bit like a jigsaw puzzle its really frustrating at first but as you join more bits it gets better.
Just got to work out exactly what the wolf/engine needs to run so far ive worked out that i need:
a/c
starter motor
alternator
dizzy
engine fan (which i think runs off a relay)
+tive power and earths
everything else runs off the wolf loom
as for the mat its an old table cloth

Some of you may have seen this allready !!!!!
However i would like some feedback ASAP as someone else is interested in purchasing the NA.....but i really dont want to sell it so this is what i have come up with...all feedback is appreciated, but more to the point really want someone who is interested !!!!
As most off you allready know i am lucky enough to have two AW11s, the NA i have had since 1990 and the SC for just over 12 months.
The plan was for one as a daily driver and the other for a race car. But especially since GUY has come on the scene, the problem is funds and available space.
I have been using the SC in Supersprints and stuff like that but to be really competitve need to spend more $$$$$ and to make it more race specific, if i sell the NA i will have the funds but dailing driving the race car is going to be a PITA and the complication of rego and engineering a race car for the road is even more difficult.
So what i am considering is this:
I will try to find someone (hopefully one of you) who is interested in buying a part share in one of the cars and set it up for race duties primarily. So the go would be to agree on a part price then share all the on going running costs with the aim of completing the 2006 Series of the NSW supersprint championship and any other track events we feel like doing, motorkhana, hill climbs stuff like that.
At this stage i am thinking of using the NA simply because it will be more competitve in class and should also be cheaper to run, however i am open to suggestions cause the SC really is a lot of fun on the track just not as competive (in class).
Anyway give me some feedback on what you reckon

so effectivley you are going to rent someone the shared use of your car in the supersprints. I hope this is the case as shared ownership can open a fairly big can of worms even if the best of intentions are there just my $0.02

Not so much as rent, but buy it out 50/50 then have an equal share in the running costs. But i know what you mean i am a bit worried about that aspect of it as well. This is not a commercial venture, i just want it to be a friendly thing, someone i have a fair bit of trust in.
Appreciate the comments
It looks like the NA will sell for 8.5 to 9k so that should get me some goodies Maybe i could motorise one of my pushies for daily transport instead
Actually its pretty funny i could not sell it 12 monthes ago for 6K, now someone is willing to pay 8.5............go figure ???? maybe they are becoming a investment AT LAST

all fluids, trres probably all rubbers hoses etc, bearing brakes, the list goes on.
If i can actually get it out of the garage i may have abetter idea

$8990 is a damn good price for an N/A, you should be throwing the car at him so this buyer doesn't get away!
you can buy an SC in Adeleaide for about 8k and N/A for about 7ish so if this bloke wants to give you 9 for your N/A i say take it!!

no i spoke to john from nevo and he isnt confident on the pulley holding together due to the additional removed material.. im thinking possibly a 165mm pulley instead of the 175?

Yep, I reckon you should go with the 165mm Toof.
I wanted a 175mm Nevo years ago but was talked out of it by certain web based articles that detailed catastrophes like yours due to the stress the 175mm pulley places on the keyway.
I suppose there are plenty of 175mm Nevo owners out there that would argue that they have run their pulley for years without any drama so you may be just another of the unlucky few ?
I would still like a 175mm but i would just be to worried about my poor motor to enjoy it.

the stock pulley is 145 and is *heaps* heavier then the nevo.
i just had a revelation....
to solve my issue... how about.. i use a standard 4age n/a crank pulley... 135mm. and a 95mm ea falcon pulley..
this solves the water pump over drive. as well as the overlead of inertia in the crank pulley.
additionally it costs bugger all. *and* ive just run the numbers. this affair runs the charger 1.5% faster then the stock charger pulley and a nevo 175,.

No clutch = dead supercharger...
From what I've seen, they need the clutch to 'cool down'. I tried locking up the clutch on mine and it lasted about a month before it started making nasty broken noises.

your supposed to weld the pulley onto the clutch aparantly and toof why use the n/a pulley??? use the stock one or if your worried about weight you can allways get a custom one made to the stock dimensions from an alloy.

becasue my stock item isnt in particulary good shape. it has a lot of chips on it.. hence part of the reason i wanted to go for a new pulley...
and ive also lined up a new na pulley cheap.
yes you are supposed to weld the pulley onto the clutch but that is jsut so you use the entire sc12 clutch assembly. you should still be able to use the clutch, it will jsut be the original sc12 clutch as oppsoed to the falcon clutch.

With reduced diameter pulleys you will suffer from more belt slip. If you are running an oversized crank pulley you will probably already be familiar with belt slip but by reducing the amount of contact between the pulleys you will have even more problems with it.
The nevo kit really is a good thing, but there are a couple of things to consider when changing over to one.
Buy a new key. They are damn cheap ($5 or so for a pair). Given how tiny they are and how much load they need to take they really are worth changing over.
Buy a new crank snout bolt. Firstly your original one is at least 15 years old now, secondly toyota have redesigned the part with a larger one probably due to some failures. It has been upgraded from a 17 to a 19mm head from memory. They are also cheap. Maybe another $10.
Torque the crank pulley down properly. This is the most important part. If there is any slop it is going to be working against the keyway. The keyway is already pretty highly stressed.
The downside of the nevo kit is that it does not include a rubber ring in it (you will notice that the inner and outer parts of the stock pulley are joined by a rubber ring). This acts as a harmonic balancer and dampens out the moment of inertia from a firing event of the engine. Straight 4 engines are pretty harsh when it comes to vibrations anyway.
On the upside the nevo kits are made of duraluminium which is one of the highest grades of aluminium available. This really is good shit. Very lightweight and very strong. Also quite expensive...
I say stick with the nevo kit (either 165 or 175) but make sure that it is installed properly.

Terry.

i agree 100% that the nevo is a good bit of kit. i think ive just been unlucky. ill look in to the falcon pulley as i think the 95mm pulley should be capable or handling the ammount of power without too much slip. i say this just becasue think of *good* chargers like a lysholm/whipple etc they generally usea pulley of around 80mm so i think the 95mm should hold the belt ok.. hell worst case ill crack and go buy a nevo
im just crining at the cost of this fiasco

Yeah but "good" superchargers tend to use belts that are 2-5 inches wide and/or glimmer type belts (ribbed like a timing belt so that they can't slip).
The tighter you have to have the belt (to prevent slip) the more you load up the crank, water pump and supercharger bearings, giving more wear.

If you really want to have a go at butchering one of these chargers I can probably get you one with stuffed rotors to use as a proof of concept.
At the last drift day it was pulling about 6psi with a 175mm nevo kit but should be fine for testing pulley arrangements.

it shouldnt really be a butcher job ideally id like to manufacture something that is a "bolt on item" or as close to it. a stuffed charger would be good incase i wreck it but i couldnt see why there should be any damage to the charger.
hell if i can get it working eaisly i could probaly make up the adaptors and any gear nessecary for people.. easy upgrade.

PJ,
I understand what you mean about the $$$$$$ 9K certainly is top $ for an NA, there are a few in Syd for 5-7 K the 5k was absolute crap...ready for the wreckers IMO and the 7k was pretty good but just did not compare to mine. Having looked at that mint one on Ebay mine in still in very good nick even tho mine been DRIVEN 150000ks, infact i think the interior in mine is just as good. Anyway like you say it should be "kept in loving hands" really its been pampered all its life and has never let me down. But as other have said, "after 16 years of ownership its time to move on"
Maybe i should never have got the Supercharged car
Toof and 4agte i appreciate the positive comments.
Now as for the SC pulley discussion i have read many positive and negative comments about smaller SC pulleysso without actually knowing someone who has done it i suppose its up for experimentation.
On the surface i see no reason why a 95 or even an 80mm SCpulley using the stock or even larger crank pulley could not be used.
So a few pros and cons
Pro
water pump speed does not increase so less drive losses
Con
belt has a tigher wrap
what is the smallest size pulley possible so the clutch still works ?
Other
As toof has and as some other have allready experienced the crack shaft key is allready a over stressed item, remember the same key usually only drives the WP and Alt and maybe AC, the SC was an afterthought. So as soon as you incrrease the load on the SC the possibility of failure increases.
The thing to remember is that the SC needs power to make power, the more power you want at the wheels the more power to drive the SC
I am lucky that i have never had SC belt slip but this can be a limiting factor to the drive to the SC. The prob with non toothed belts is they require very high belt tension (with subsequent power losses and excessive stress on the bearings and belts) to achieve positive drive so it becomes a case of catch 22, there is no point trying to drive the SC at some higher/ speed/ load if the belts cant transmit the power required.
The other factor is the limit of speed and efficiency for the stock SC12
I think benjamin is running a smaller SC pulley than stock with a 175 Nevo to get his 15 PSI i have the 94 spec engine with the smaller 120mm SC pulley and have not had any probs at all

well if running a 135mm n/a crank pulley and a 95mm spins the charger at roughly (+1.5%) the speed of the stock 125mm pulley and a 175mm nevo without spinning the waterpump faster.
so spinning it at the same speed should result in the same hp requirements for the charger. so it will still be puttting similar stress on the keyway in that regard however there will be a lower ammount of interia not having the larger diameter pulley.. esp if you replace the stock item with an aluminium one.
im thinking that 95mm should be sufficent to hold enough of the belt not to slip signific antly remember the speedchaser pulley is 95mm and is in fairly common use in the US.
as far as it as it spinning the charger beyond the chargers capabilities this is only marginally faster then the nevo such that i dont think it will really suffer.
keep in mind it seems commonly suggeted that 12k rpm is the max for the sc12. this combo will spin it at 11380 when the engine is spinning at 8000rpm... something that my engine on factory managment wont do anyway and ecven if it sdid it wouldnt be for long.
so intheory this shuold offer more punch lower in the rev range but will be outside the efficently band for the charger when it really spinning. im happy for that as i can live with only spinning it to 7k. This should provide plently of grunt lower where it really gets used,
ben: with the unclutched charger setup you cooked in a month were you using the ABV ?

i think i understand what you guys are talking about with there not being enough tension on the belt but are you guys still contemplating using the stock sized belt??? You can get smaller belts in the same rib configuration u know...
also if the crank pulley is going to be smaller doesnt that mean it will run the waterpump slower than stock????
the ea falcon pulley mod is supposed to make it run 14-15psi with the stock gze crank pulley so for me that would seem perfect.

with a stoch gze pulley it will be spinning it faster then a 175nevo. and it will aslo be spinning it faster then what i feel is the limitations of the charger..
the stock NA pulley is 135mm iirc. same size front and back. so witha 135 and 95 mm pulleys it is bascially same speed as nevo (a hint faster actually)
with the 135 crank pulley it will be spinning the water pump at the same speed as the na/

correct,
im not sure if the water pump pulleys are differnt sizes ? i may need to source one from the na.
however i feel it shoul dbe ok simply as many engines are using the under drive pulleys for racing applications and seem to have no real grief.. iirc the nevo under drive pulley spins the water pump waht about 15% slower then stock ?
