Fixed, the crank pulley had a chip that was shredding the belts. A new one is on and everything is ok.

I dont think there is a pulley, it should go right from the harmonic balancer straight to the alternator.

What do you mean the pulley isnt lining up?

Im talking about the pulley on the alternator (the whole alternator is not at the right angle for the pulley on it to align with the crank pulley).

 

check your alternator

wow what an obvious reply....

to the OP. it could be like you said alternator not ligning up correctly. are you using the bracket, alternator,alternator pulley, for that engine or did parts come from different motors?

the belt could be kinda loose too, does it squeel at all?

thanks for the first logical post, lol. Im using the alternator and parts from a 97 gsr and the built motor in my car is a 97 gsr so that should not be the problem. I checked the tension on the belt and adjusted it really tight, loose, and about every possible position and i still have the problem. Is there some sort of a bushing in the lower bracket? Someone told me it may have not been put back in when we swapped the motors and that it would make the alternator and pulley be at an angle.

 

there is no bushing on the alternator bracket. are u using the oem nuts and locking bolt?

 

Maybe you should add a bushing. I cant think of the harm by adding a large washer or two to get the two pulleys to line up. Is the pulley on the crank not seated correctly?(does it wobble when turned?)

 

are you using the correct belt? some belts are 3 ribbed and some are 4 ribs, look at the pulley and and look at the belt.

 

02Type-S im trying to contact you about your SI for sale but im a trial user so I cant post in FS forums... can you email me at tnnrelzbth0920@aol.com
