Another OBA Build FZJ80

[Otamiway]

So the saga on OBA begin..

Thanks to Jon - S4Cruiser, I was able to get my hands on one of the Great Lakes Water Jet 80 searies OBA bracket.

I have had a York 210 for over 4yrs from my Suburban days.

Now the project
1. Source a single pulley V-belt pully for the York
a. Need to mount the compressor to get the correct pulley spacing
2. Decide on a Check valve and manifold
3. Decide on location oand size of Tank.

I will be re-reading the other OBA post to make sure i dont miss anything.

Ideas and comment welcome

So far I have located a possible source for the pulley
A/C Clutch 6"Dia 2 Groove 1 Wire, 5144, Airsource

Possible model #s MWI 5144 or MEI 5131, MEI 5031.. I spoke with them and I need the correct spacing (measured from center of side bolt hole to center of where the pulley would sit) to get the right one.

Went to Spector Offroad to get my hand throttle.

Pulley Measurement

I need some help finding the A-B measurement for the FZJ 80 setup. Can someone with the setup take this measurement and send it to me??

A-B = the distance from the center of the side mounting hole to the center on the Pulley that has the v-belt.

Throttle Cable installed

Got a used throttle cable installed. It came with the bracket that was already on my 97 FZj80. PM me if anyone needs one for a good price..

Also picked up a new clutch and pulley assembly from Ryder Products. Way cheaper that Kilby..

New dual belt pullet, Their single belt pulley would not line up with the drive belt

What may I ask is the hand throttle and the OBA connection?

Where can I buy the water Jet Bracket?

unobtainium

Is that unobtainium.com or .net?

Seriously, is there anyone making a bracket kit for using a York on a 1FZ-FE engine?

No. This was a project I started up with GLWJ after Slee stopped carrying the ones they had. We redesigned it a bit and then GLWJ did all the work for it while I handled the money and shipping info. Once gone, they were gone. Thats it. It was a pain in the freaking ass for me and vowed to never organize another group buy. If you want one, you will have to either find one, make one, or copy and make one.

OK, Thanks for your help

You will use the throttle to raise and hold your RPM when you are using the OBA... faster fill up of your tank.

Very good advise.....I literally stalked the classifieds for about 1yrs to find this one... make it or be patient

So is there anyway you could get the design info? like measurements and stuff? I know some fabricators and would love to get one of these made.

I'm interested to see how the belts are routed in this configuration. OBA will be my next semi major upgrade. So I'm trying to get as much info as I can.

You will need a water pump pulley w 3 grooves to get things started. I can tak a couple pics of the brackets if you would like.....

Belt goes around the water pump pulley, over the tensioner around the OBA pulley and back to water pump.

Anything is possible.

You should put that together and sell it to me. I just got a promotion and need to find a way to live beyond my means again.
