PHR Timing Belt Tensioner Bracket for 2JZ Motor

Description

Material Strength

The OEM timing belt tensioner is made from cast aluminium. As the power produced by the 2JZ engine increases, this weak material is no longer adequate. Powerhouse not only solved this problem, but we attacked it with a 10lb sledgehammer.

The PHR Timing Belt Tensioner is made for 4130 Chromoly Steel. This is not only a superior material to the cast aluminium, but is even stronger than standard steels.

Brass Bushing

We’ve included a brass bushing to protect the steels on the tensioner and on the tensioner pivot bolt. The brass material allows has low friction allowing for proper pivot and the tensioner moves back and for removing belt slop and over-tension. It is also replaceable

We recommend lubricating the inside of the bushing with a motor oil or grease. But don’t overdo it! A very small amount is all that is needed, any excess will end up on your timing belt.

Zinc Plating

To prevent corrosion and rust, we’ve plated these with a silver zinc, that not only protects the metal, but also looks amazing.

Hardened Steel Pin

Like the factory tensioner, we’ve included a hardened steel pin that presses into the tensioner to protect the metal. While the 4130 steel would likely be adequate, installing the hardened pin reduces wear even further.
