- Please check out our new channel Garage Life and subscribe! / @garagelife Today I show you how to install an underdrive lightweight crank pulley on my 2002 Lexus Is300 with the 2JZ. Do you think installing this pulley will destroy the engine? I had one installed on 2 different cars for a significant amount of time with zero issues. Keep in mind this is a low horse power and low revving setup.

![What You SHOULD Know About Harmonic Damper Pulleys | Harmonic Balancers 101 [TECH TALK]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/J1BGsgIZ_Ek/mqdefault.jpg)
I use to work for a company that was a big manufacturer of lightweight aluminum pulleys and with strong knowledge of that market, data testing etc... as well as use on personal vehicles I can say confidently that running a pulley like this will not harm your engine. Low or high hp. A quality product goes a long way.
Thank for.this man!
Hulk over here breaking crank bolts loose like it's nothing! Lol
hahaha it's what i do!
2008 Civic SI unorthodox underdrive racing pulley 2 days out of the dealership just sold the car with the pulley still installed with over 200,000 miles on it without a single issue. EDIT K20Z3
Non stop tunning has notes under their pulley set, they recomend using oem waterpump and tensioner pulleys 🤷🏽♂️
The struggle of breaking bolts. I feel you brother..
Great video bro. The title was misleading, I thought this was a "Do not use" video. Very informative. Thx
Ive been thinking about getting one of these for my Mini Cooper S but everywhere I read people say it will destroy your engine. And all the people that actually have one installed on their engine have had no problems. Even with 100k miles on them.
Yup exactly
I've been running lightweight pulley on my Subies for over 5 years, no probs.
Homebrew Subaru Lightweight pulleys aren't gonna kill a Subaru since they don't have harmonic balancers. However the underdrive pulleys cause problems with 2JZ engines because of they do need the harmonic balancers to absorb the vibration of the engine instead of transferring it to the bearings and screwing stuff up. Lotsa info on MKIV/Supraforums about it.
Although that may be true about 2J's, all Subaru "crank pulleys" come with harmonic dampening.
we will see what happens!
Have pulleys coming for my Jetta 1.8t has almost 190k on it. If it makes it to 250k I'll be happy.
I don't mind watching your vids, not a fan of the click bait though.
I mean its not really click bait, ALOT of people would say i ruined or destroyed it by doing this
@@PoorManMods Title should be "WILL I destroy"... This video provided almost no information. Click bait for sure.
@@PoorManMods f\
Wehhhhhhh!
Hey Freddy , I put the same pulley on my 7mge and had no issues even though everyone I know was saying it's gonna fuck it up , I think if you wanted to put it on a high HP engine then just have it balanced with the crank shaft and fly wheel to avoid any problems
Thanks! only time will tell! haha
Nice install. Need more vids on this car alongside the supra
haha why not?
Now that it's been some time, how is the motor doing ? Any issues ?
No problems! Still daily driving it
Not sure if you just want a 2JZGTE swap, or if you are just super confident it won't ruin anything haha
Haha im pretty confident it will be fine, but im not against a GTE swap
beautiful video, thanks for the good angles.
i hear you can just remove the lower radiator hose and have access to the harmonic balancer?
would you still need special tools doing it that way?
You will have access to it but there isnt enough room to get a tool on there and remove it.
thanks
Let us know how the fuel economy is coming along!
will do! thanks!
@@PoorManMods well?
@@arcadeslum5882 no noticeable chage
@@PoorManMods thx brother :)
Damn I was really hoping there would be a difference I mean o theory it sounds like the science would equal out to more savings but guess not
dope video rich man 🤙
The lightweight/underdrive Crank pulleys kill the oil pumps on the 2JZ. few threads on Supraforums about it.
interesting
Poor Man Mods I stuck with a Fluidampr for that reason. Better safe then take risks Even on a budget boost setup like mine.
4 years down the road brotha. Any updates on the pulley? Bout to buy 1 for my 1jzgte vvti. Heard good and bad things about it.
Absolutely zero issues and still driving it
Amazing! Thanks for the feedback bro!
Do u drift the is300 n how’s the motor holding up
Hi was wondering if you’re having voltage drops, over heating or rough idle?
i never had an issues like that when mine had a 2JZ in it
What is considered a serious sound system? I have a sub in the back? Will this affect my charging where I'd get stranded you think?
1 sub and amp you're probably fine
Did it mess anything up? I’m gonna be doing this mod soon. Please respond lol
No issues at all
You gotta be strong as shit, it took me like 2hrs to pop the bolt on that balancer. Also ended up taking the whole front end out and using an impact gun
Hahaha I would say im certainly stronger than average.
I got one on the 1jz vvti. It is still in the building stage. Let me know how it holds up.
will do!
Do you think aluminum pulleys are good and safe sir
yes ive had them for years!
Poor Man Mods thank you for the reply man I love your videos keep it up 👍
Poor Man Mods also last question man the pulleys are smaller than the stock Would that be a problem sense it’s smaller and run shorter belt
@@jorgeespinoza3564 just get the right size belt and you should be fine, you may need to go an inch or two smaller than the OEM belt
Would aftermarket seats help with sitting high up in driver seat??
Depending on the seat yeah.
Just put a few books on the seat bro. Im wanting to make my seats lower with bride low max seats and low max planted seat rails
What did u mean you wouldn't notice a difference unless u have a huge system
subbi302 _ a huge sound system pumping over 2500 watts 100 decibles occilates the car and can vibrate the crank against the thrust bearings
my intake camshaft is out of timing after trying to remove the vvti pulley with an air gun by mistake, can i rotate it the left or the right?
How far off, like it rotated one tooth, youll need to set the crank to 0° and pull off the harmonic balancer, remove all 3 timing chain covers, the easiest way to loosen the belt is to undo the two 12mm(maybe 10mm) and loosen the whole tensioner assembly. Then it gives enough slack to let you rotate the cam thats out of time. Moving the cam with the belt still on with slack in it is easier than removing the belt fully
I have also changed cam gears on the 2j and set timing without removing anything but the top cam gear cover but if you are already to the point of taking the balancer off and already trying to fix a mistake id just take all the covers off and make sure you do it right
Far as getting the bolt loose take a 1/2 ratchet with a socket and a 2lb hammer and smack the ratchet, the impact will break it free after a couple whacks.
I forgot to mark the timing on my is2001 an don’t know where it was last set at an took bolt off but scared that I’ve might of fucked up my 2j
Your not messing with the cams, there is a tooth for the ballancer, can only be put on one way, impossible to mess up the timing
What mpg improvements did you get
I think i got about a .25 - .5 mph improvement
Thanks
I really want a 4 door 2jz car, is the is300 the best usdm option? And how hard is it to find a manual?
I would chose this or the GS300. Manuals are somewhat hard to come by though(at least in my area), you can do a swap if you want too though.
gs300's r cheap and have plenty of aftermarket support n can be purchased for cheap
do you want to turbo it? if you planning to make it a high HP IS300, i would suggest that you get an Auto (it's easier to get and cheaper to buy the car) and later swap it to a manual with a CD009 gearbox with an adapter, because the CD009 are stronger gearbox..
correct me if i'm wrong
manual IS300s are rare in the states only 14,000 were made i believe? but its an amazing platform, this car would run circles around the supra and my legacy on an autocross course any day of the week. I am also selling my is300 if you are close and interested
Poor Man Mods I'm no tuner nut however I just picked up a 5 speed is300 as a daily. Only 160k on the clock and it runs awsome. Now looking for bolt ons. Sweet cars
what is the benefit of that pulley?
less rational mass and less drag from accessories
That a Cusco strut bar?
Any engine rubbing when the drivetrain is under load? (ie; when the motor rotates on the motor mounts when you give it go)
not sure of the brand and there are zero issues with it
Have you ever uninstalled it prior to a repair and inspected the underside for rub rash? A lot of them ride tight I'm just wondering how this one does with no engine cover.
Oh its extremely close, but from what I've seen it never touches
Also DAMMMIT BOBBY!
hahahah
Any updates with this mod?
no issues to report!
What's the result what mpg did you improve and horsepower
but dat freeze frame at the end ... lol
hahaha
how the hell did you loosen that crank bolt so easily... i used a gun on mine and nothing happened....
It pays to pump iron i guess :p
Some parts just dont and cant be deleted especially on a engines that have high rpm capabilities is it really worth damaging main bearings, caps ,crank, timing, etc. Its there for a reason if you really have done this in the past with no problems make a video of you making high rpm pulls holding it in gear on the highway a few times
Its been atleast 20k miles since I installed this, ive done plenty of high RPM pulls and such, no issues yet :)
Doesn't the stock pulley also serve as a harmonic balancer? Did it cause the engine to vibrate more than usual with this mod?
Old engines used harmonic balancers. Technology has come very far.
I don't trust em fluidampr fo lyfe lmao
Fluiddamper is the shit without a doubt, but so far I have had any issues with the Is300, my sentra or camaro with one of these. Only time will tell though!
Keep us posted on this mod I'm interested on doing this mod to my gs Gs300
will do!
does the fluidampr completely replace an oem harmonic balancer?
or does it attach on top of a HB?
pfft what do OE Manufacturers know
yeah right? stupid engineers
Have you realized that oem or full size pulley was better yet? Lol. I’m kidding but really...
Here are the facts rather than guesswork; If you have a front vibration damper on your crank it's there for a reason and you need one. Manufacturers don't waste millions of dollars over hundreds of thousands of cars. If they put it there, you need it. There is nothing wrong with an underdrive damper though. The exception is if you have a dual mass flywheel. That will act as a damper and smooth out the crank thrust to save your bearings. Everything else is just bullshit.
Yeah makes sense
Clickbait
How?
she needs some rotas (σˋ▽ˊ)σ
you pay for em ill put em on
+Poor Man Mods sounds like a good deal.
