In my continued quest in the design of my super charger kit i need to find an affordable serpentine pulley solution.


Does the FD engine pulley fit our FC's hub? if not can the hub be swapped? Does the FD water pump pulley fit our water pump?

 

I know the FC and FD alternator pulleys don't swap. The FD alternator shaft is slightly bigger around.

 

No worry I have an FD alt. It would be a direct swap.

 

Some of the stuff swaps over...but also look into MX-6 (1st gen) parts for other pulleys. The A/C compressor pulley, for example, is a direct swap.

I am actually interested in this myself, as I HATE V-belts. But I've been very busy lately and haven't been able to collect all the parts.

 

I rememeber talking to RETed about this awhile back.
According to him, Yes they will fit.
You will need to change the Water Pump and housing though.

 

Keep in mind the fd's water pump spins opposite ours.

 

What what what?

 

The FD water pump runs on the back of the serpentine belt thus making it spin in the opposite direction.

 

Which is why you have to swap the the pump and housing if you plan on using the water pump pulley off the FD.

 

Kool, I never thght it was posible to swap the pulleys....

Ah

 

i wish i could do this swap too . . . i hate v-belts, i hear them squeal everytime i rev the engine high and quick, and they're tensioned properly, **** 'em . . . someone got a writeup for the pulley swap?

 

what about P/S pulleys?

 

Only concerned with Engine/Alt/WP

The rest is trivial bullshit for me.

 

no, I would like to know, if it will fit. from what i've read they dont. but everyone else could be wrong.

 

so would i i have all my P/S, A/C and emissions so i'd liek to know how to change the pulleys on EVERYTHING!!!

 

for the compressor pulley, is that for a sanden or nippondenso compressor. I'll do the swap if i can keep my a/c. it gets hotter than a campfire in hell in florida!!

holla back

 

Mine was the Nippon Denso model, swapped directly with a same-year MX-6 Nippon Denso.

Keep in mind, I went backwards. I swapped the electronic clutch out with an MX-6 because my clutch went bad (no A/C). One of my friends just happened to have an MX-6 compressor lying around.

 

getting an FD waterpump and housing for every kit might be a pain in da butt.

 

Yes it will be time consuming but it will also be cheaper by about 125 dollars than paying for an aftermarket kit only including the pulleys......
