Lexus Metal Tensioner Pulley Part Number & Pic
 

For you SC guys that were asking. This makes for a great reduction in belt shredding issues and an increased margin of error for belt alignment...

thanks a lot TJ. finally you came up through !

Nice TJ. I added it to the stickies..hope that's ok with everyone.

is there a special bolt & spacer required for this?

You do actually need to stack up washers inside the pulley in order to bring the nut to an accessible position. No special bolt needed. You only need the pulley and a few washers. In some cases you may have to stack a washer or two behind the pulley as well so it clears everything. Just use your best judgement on it, and you'll be fine. Post up any questions, those who have it can answer and clear up a few things about using this pulley.

And no problems wit adding it to the stickies...good stuff.

i actually have that pulley, it came in the kit i got....i never knew what it was for...


im going to guess it replaces the oem belt tensioner pulley?

yes it does.....

excellent pulley i have been using this for yrs. it allows the belt to flex a little without rubbing the rails like on the stillen version. alright tj give me my props for turning you on to this biatch,lol.

You guys know better than to rely on a linked picture as the sole source of the part number. :rotz:

This is for that guy who is searching in 4 years from now and only sees a red X in TJ's post #1:

Toyota "Idler Sub Assy" 13503-5011

That's exactly what I said. "You guys know better". :confused: ;)

lol, you guys are funny. but yeh this is the only way to go without having belt issues. i wish belts was my issues i'd be happy.

That's funny, but I don't have this metal pulley and don't have any belt issues.... ;) :D

cause you are the few who monitors the belt. i never had an issue either but this is for the less fortunate,lol. with this pulley there is a lot of slack that is not tolerable wih the ribbed version.

Monitor what? When you say "ribbed version", do you mean "walled version"?

yeh it's the stillen pulley with sidewalls, i believe is the correct wording. this is going on my 8th yr owning, installing and working with the stillen sc. many of my friends have the dreaded belt issue, but i have been very lucky, because as i said i monitor the belt almost every other time i drive it. by that i mean i check the belt for flexing and buckling when gas is applied. in the cold it is very important not to go into boost ,especially in the northern section where it can get very cold. also boosting puts a lot of stress on the tensioner and over a time period can become loose causing the belt to ride a rib and break. every now and then i retighten the tensioner to avoid that problem.

Tried Metal Idler Pulley.. but too big
 

I gave this part number to the toyota dealership and they had to do a cross reference. They sold me a puley that looks like the one in the picture, but when I tried to put it on, it was so big that it was rubbing up against the hose that runs to the radiator. I have a V2 bracket (probably guessed that, if I had a v1 I probably wouldn't be having alignment problems.):bawling: WHAT IS THE DIAMETER OF THE PULLY IN THE PICTURE?
So I can double check that they sold me the corrct pulley. Thanks Guys!

I read that Lexus changed the size of the pulley..

Lexus Pulley too big:

they discontinued that pulley, the new one is slightly larger than the old one. but a new one was found, thanks to secondtonone's initial investigation and big d's find from nycmax.

part # 450-8920


The pulley is from a 1993-1997 Infiniti J30 TIMING IDLER

trying to find this pulley what store did this pulley come from? i tryed autozone and advance autoparts and that part number dont come up. but when i give the infiniti j30 timing idler pulley more than one pulley comes up any help would be good.

they discontinued the old ones, the new ones are slighlty bigger and causing some rubbing issues. if you have the old one just go to any part store or dealer and have them match up the size, i have a friend who did that. i dont knonw if this guy still makes them but he use to make them for us. lee 1 877 928 8675

so the infiniti j30 pulley got bigger to? because thats the pulley that i am talking about.

the factory pulley number is 13077-F6511 can be had on e-bay for like 20 bucks. Good luck with it....

never tried that one, i have the lexus pulley but im selling it with the whole sc kit.

when you say factory you mean Nissan/Infiniti?

i found it
