4agze tension pulley

[mick22]

The fu*kedest thing happened when i was cruising back along the highway back from the gold coast yesterday, I was mabey just sitting on 110km/h when i heard this massive bang hit the bottom of the car, i realised it couldn't be good but i had no where to pull over to stop and check out what had happened.
About 5 minutes later i tryed to over take and the boost was cutting in and out and then the engine started overheating. When i stopped to look in the engine bay, I saw that the Tension belt running from the supercharger and the water pump had come off completely and the tension pulley was now where to be seen.

What i want to know is how could this possibly have happened?

And What Can be used to replace the tension pulley with out having to scope an 4agze one

Thanks

probably the nut on the front came off you could try going to bursons or one of them places i know they have pulleys for popular makesbut you don't have the sizes so it might not work too good if you havent figured it out by next week when i get my car back i can measure the pulley size for you if you like

[mick22]

It probably was the nut on the front, as there was kinda two bangs, the nut first, then the whole pulley.

If you could measure it for me that would be great! ,
as i think trying to source this off a 4agze is going to be a mission,

I was wondering if there would be a tension pulley off a 1G-GZE that would be similar to that of the 4A-GZE?

couldnt u use a 4age aircon tension pully?

[mick22]

Are they similar to the GZE tension pulley's? does any one have a pic of one

[mattysshop]

i just ended up having to use another GZE pully as mine had a massive flat spot on one side

make sure it's done up FT next time!

[ToySprinta]

Yup, VFT next time
Had this happen, but was lucky cos i have a elec water pump, so i could get home.
I had to use another GZE pulley.

Thanks for the info guys,

i suppose the next question is who has a spare tension pulley lying around or something similar?
cause i doubt many wreckers would have a gze sitting sitting around...
