When I say aftermarket, I mean Toda, Mugen, GReddy, etc!?

I know Toda makes one for thre K series, but does anybody make one for the H series?

Thanks,
Joe

P.S. Yeah I know H23 Conversion.... thanks but this H22 is 1. bone stock, and 2. in a Del Sol, so it's a bit tight to be in there working on it like that, or believe me I would.)

 

The tensioner is under the lower timing cover. How tight it is in the engine bay doesn't affect it.

 

greddy

 

H23 manual FTW! When it comes to things like this I like as much OEM as possible!

 

1) It doesn't matter if it's full blown built or bone stock, the manual tensioner is more reliable.

2) You're going to have to remove the engine mount and lower the motor anyways. Might as well do it right the first time, than to blow an auto tensioner down the line and replace the whole motor.

Are they really that bad?

I mean this one has 100,000km on it, (60,000-ish miles) and it's just now starting to the rattle on decel. If I just replace it, can't I expect the new one to last just about as long?

does anybody have a link to where I can buy a GReddy one?

The Auto tensioners have been known to cause catastrophic damage before...
I would do the Manual and a new belt while youre at it and toss a new water pump in there too.

you look up top at the FAQ and click on the link titled h23 manual tensioner conversion and buy the parts from the dealer on that list.

 

Actually importrp.com sells the oem manual tensioner parts as a kit. It ends up being much cheaper than buying them individually from the dealer.

 

In the K series world the Toda tensioner sucks. Numerous faliures...
