chris r Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 sound like its fucked then hah. Is it possible to swap the reg/rectifier from the uz alt to the jz? oh and check the rotor resistance/current and make sure its not shorted if you do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seedy Al Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 I would rather just trim the 1uz alternator mounts down 5mm than swap parts into an already suspect alternator lol But I appreciate the thoughts. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris r Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 I remember them being close but though it was a bit more involved than trimming 5mm. Fuck swapping everything if it is that close Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seedy Al Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 This is the only picture I took and it shows nothing in the way of mods required lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tortron Posted July 8, 2017 Share Posted July 8, 2017 what do you blokes do with the holes left by spot weld cutters? cut a bunch of circles out with it and zap them in place? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyingbrick Posted July 8, 2017 Share Posted July 8, 2017 You should only be cutting through one skin so that you have a solid back skin to plug weld through onto ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tortron Posted July 8, 2017 Share Posted July 8, 2017 yeah, but il still have a 8mm ish hole in the other skin is what I mean. just plug it full when rejoining? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nominal Posted July 8, 2017 Share Posted July 8, 2017 Yep, weld-o-rama. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyingbrick Posted July 8, 2017 Share Posted July 8, 2017 Yup.. start your weld in the very middle of the hole and then work it ouwards till it's slightly proud. Sometimes easier said than done- an 8mm hope should make it reasonably easy- iv tried smaller and it's been a cunt to consistently catch the back skin properly (the wire/src sometimes wants to go to the edges of the hole rather than the back skin) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've had to spot, spot, spot each hole with a MIG (then used an actual spot welder) but then again i don't do that many unibodies.... It's not pretty AFAIK.

Seedy Al Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 Re: alternator. Looks like yozwer was on the money lol. Moddied 1uz alternator and fitted. Was excited to see the charge light come up on the dash. Started car and everything seemed legit. Until it warmed up abd the idle dropped. Same situation. Squels wgen applying revs. Had a revelation. What if I try applying some extra tension to the tensioner, so stuck my long 14mm spanner on the tensioner bolt and with only the slightest amount of tension applied the issue went away. Noticed the pulley on the alternator is smaller also, so belt doesn't have the same amount of tension as before. Going to try a shorter belt. Cross my fingers. Other wise its try apply more tension. Or puzzle together an idler setup andvre route the belt like it should be. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AllTorque Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 Clearly the answer is gillies 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UTERUS Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 I can confirm that i have no belt slip issues with pingin gillies. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seedy Al Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 Ok. I will google gillies set for 2jz and see what I find 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUNAMUCK Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 Have you lowered the %age of belt wrap by deleting air con, and power steer? That can cause problems. Bloke who engineer that shizz from new are smart cookies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seedy Al Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 Yeah I am aware I have very much removed a lot of the wrap around the crank pulley running it the way I have. But im also not the only person running it this way. Seriously the amount of pressure to stop the belt slip was so minor. But yeah looks like a 2jz gillies setup is about 700 to 1000 ñz made lol If shorter belt doesn't solve my issues, will remove tensioner and see if I can some how increase the pressure. Otherwise see if I can add a way via a turn buckle or something to increase pressure. Science Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peteretep Posted July 16, 2017 Share Posted July 16, 2017 Can someone tell me why every diesel doesnt have egr deleted or blocked as soon as the car is purchased? I chucked a plate in a peugeot the other day without ever having considered what the egr does, but it just seems so terrible for everything in the engine and really does nothing to help it. The only reason to keep it would be so you can pass WOF's in exhaust testing countries? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AllTorque Posted July 16, 2017 Share Posted July 16, 2017 Modern common rail diesels will throw a code if the erg is blocked. Older stuff, go hard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
