Power steering pulley SWAP

[Chris Crash]

Need help from the experts here.

I need a three ribbed P/S pulley that will fit onto my 97's P/S. Also a three ribbed alt and A.C pulley would be nice as well.

But the crucial part is the PS pulley. Anyone know what cars I can take one off of?

I would assume maybe an MR2 but I don't know which engine or anything like that.

Help is greatly appreciated.

ima guess anything 5s?

[Chris Crash]

You would THINK. But searching ebay for 5sfe pulley returns nothing.

Yep hit the you pull it wreckers. What happened to the original pulley? It's not something that normally ever fails.

[Nervous]

look for whole p/s pump, sometimes they are sold with a pulley (by people or junk yards). Just ask seller to make sure.
As to vehicles.... I bet, gens 3 and 4, and probably even beginning of 5 have the same pulleys. Go to http://www.toyotapartszone.com/genui...mry-parts.html and check if part number is the same for 1992-2002 years. You may also check Solara, Sienna, Avalon, Lexus ES300 (the last 4 ones in the case if you have 1MZ; I don't know if there is a difference in p/s pulleys between 5s and 1mz).

OK I think everyone mis-interpreted my post. I wasn't really specific. Haha. I got an unorthodox crank pulley. From a 5SFE mr2. And that has 3 ribs for BOTH belts (Alt belt and PS belt) but my camry has 4 ribs for the ALT and 2 ribs for PS. So what I want to do is swap an MR2 or other three ribbed pulley onto my PS and even alt and ac if I can find them.

But I really just need the PS pulley with three ribs.

Anyone know of one?

I'm assuming the MR2 would have on since this crank pulley came off the MR2. But would it fit?

[chronoti]

keep the ps the same and use the 2 rib belt and the 3 for everything else

[fenixus]

why do you badly want to replace all pulleys for different ribs now ? what's the deal hehe ?

[71Corolla]

Your solution is obviously to run 3 belts. Okay not really.

Wouldn't it just be easier to put on a "normal" harmonic balancer? If I had to guess, I bet the PS pulley would bolt on from an MR2, but only one way to find out right?

Would the belts not jump around? Having a 2 ribbed belt on a 3 ribbed pulley? and a 3 ribbed belt on a 4 ribbed pulley?

Of course it would be easier, but that's no fun. I'll have to visit a junkyard soon and see what I can find.

junk yard would be best because if it doesn't fit there you dont have to spend the money taking it home.

i wasn't thinking about it jumping more so rubbing but if everything in line i dont see it walking too much

Aiight. I'm gonna try it with my current pulley set up. It's gonna be a bitch to find the right belt though haha.

Hmm. . .

So its a racer part; likely lighter, is it smaller in diameter at the belts too?

Maybe even one piece?

[Chris Crash]

It weighs 8 oz, looks to be 1/4 the diameter of the stock pulley.And yes, all one piece.
