A crank pulley was present when the motor blew..
ZPI Lightweight Crank Pulley

Does anybody have any thoughts on this? It's the same diameter as stock, so it isn't an underdrive pulley, but they claim it weighs less than 25% as much as the stock pulley (1lb vs. 4.4lbs)

i totally want a crank pulley now.
I thought we were talking about Greg's mom for a moment. Whew.
ZERO--were they stock internals destroyed by a turbo? Or a pulley?That is fricken sick!!
That crank and those couple rods had a bit of a battle did they?

That's what I call a major oiling failure. Wonder why? I'd sure like to see some of the other bits...like the oil pump drive chain...
Chain is fine, didnt bother to take pic... Oil pump is siezed.Originally posted by lo bux racer@Aug 1 2006, 02:20 AM

The pump seized and the chain didn't break? How about the tensioner? Is it OK?
Note to self: Do not mod tc engine.
Note to HTown: Read this thread over and over again until you understand what happened to that engine.
Tensioner was fine, I assume oil pump siezed due to metal shavings from bearing..Originally posted by lo bux racer@Aug 1 2006, 05:52 AM

It's worked for him so far.
Just from the symptoms, the mileage and the fact that it was number 4, just like the other few tC engines that had this happen, I am leaning towards it not being totally due to the pulley... but it is definitely still something to consider.
But face it.. there could be a head that pops out of the enginge bay stating "That pulley is f#ckin me up!" and people would call it stupid and still sear by them

I am still very interested in why this has happened to some people in the same way... with different mods on the car.

Yeah, definatly not conclusive evidence, but evidence all the same.
I would't ever do anything to modify the damping systems of any engine. I've seen all to well what can happen with crankwalk in the 2G eclipse's. It gets ugly fast, and without warning.

Err, cuz its not a performance motor!! Its a low compression daily driver motor thats not meant to be boosted and running crank pulleys. Thats all. Not rocket science.Originally posted by engifineer@Aug 1 2006, 12:53 PM

Zygote. You are a wisea$$. I didn't direct any comments toward you, yet you feel the need to chime in and call me ignorant. My 3.5 gpa all thru high school and college and my two degrees are the best evidence of my ignorance.
I don't have [time] to read the WHOLE thread to see what happened here. Its pretty obvious.
2AZ-FE+Boost And/OR Crank pulley=no more 2AZ.
It bothers me how some people are acting SO surprised that this happens. Lets not be naive here.
and yet Toyota feels confident enough to let us run 7PSI and warranty it.
The diffrence is that the S/C doesn't affect the stability of the crankshaft or the ability of the engineering to dampen vibrations.
