My car threw the crank pulley (Where to get new?)

[TheMaverik]

Ok,

So I was driving down the road at 70 mph (speed limit here) and heard a loud "BANG". I checked my gauges, car felt fine, figured I'd just tossed up a big rock or something. Continued the 20 mile drive into town.

Got into town, realized I had no power steering. Made a joke about how instead of throwing the belt I probably threw the whole pump this time. Checked the engine, and WTF......the whole crank pulley is missing. . So now my questions:

It had a silver looking UDP on it when I bought it. I'm assuming OBX. Where can I find a replacement? I thought I found one:

OBX Billet CRANK PULLEY 95-99 NEON 2.0L DOHC SOHC Blue | eBay

So I bought it, only to realize that eclipe's use a different style belt. (Keep in mind I have a 420A eclipse....that's why I thought the neon one would work). Not a big loss, my 2nd car is a neon, so it just gets an unintended upgrade.

Attempting to find parts for a 420A eclipse is a pain....I came across this one, it says the 420A talons work, so I'm hoping this is the right one:

OBX Underdrive Crank Pulley Talon Stealth 3000GT (blue) | eBay

Yay or nay?

Also, the reason the UDP came off is because apparently my bolt went missing. How do I replace that bolt? What size do I need? What hardness? It should also need a washer, can I get some information on that?

Need this eclipse back on the road ASAP so all help is appreciated. Thanks!

My guess is that it will fit based on the description, but it says the pulley is smaller then stock and requires a specific gates belt.

"Description :

For auction is for a brand new underdrive crank pulley (smaller than stock size) for the following applications:

1995-1999 Talon RS/GS 420A
1992-1996 Stealth
1992-1999 3000GT 6G72(tt)
2000-2004 Eclipse GT 6G72
1999-2003 Galant 6G72/4G64


GATES BELT # K060445 and K04355 required for installation (this belt is not included)"

Yeah I knew about smaller belts, I think all UDP's require smaller belts.

What throws me for that description is that it shows the 420A talon.... but then it turns around and says it fits the 4G6 Gallant, when I was pretty positive that that pulley is the 4 bolt pulley that is used in the 4G6 eclipses.....could be wrong thou.

Still need help on the BOLT and washer size. Thanks!

Still needing help. Thanks.

The bolt for the 420A crank pulley is a M12 x 1.75mm pitch x 87.5mm long with an M12 washer; the washer comes with the bolt if you order it from the dealership. The Mitsubishi part number is M06503553.

I'd be wary of the pulley; the eBay advertisement doesn't show the non-turbo Talon as applicable anymore, perhaps they pulled it off. I don't see it working for the '99-'03 Galant 4G64 either as they use four bolts for the crank pulley, just like any of the 1G or 2G 4G6# engines.

 

[TheMaverik]

yeah they pulled it off today....go figure.

I found an Unorthodox pulley for 60$!....but for a 4g6 engine...(quick, someone snatch that deal!)

I found the Bomz unit for the 420A.....but I think that was what was on there.....and it was just shoddy craftsmanship. I've delt with the OBX units before and have no worries with them.... now if only I could find one.....

If anyone is selling a UDP for a 420A....let me know. Got about 100$ to spend.
