crank pulleys?

[Richie_k83]

Iv just fitted my 1.2spi nova with a 1.8spi engine, the problem im having is that i cant find anyone who makes a crank pulley to fit this engine that has a 'V' belt pattern, i have found a few but they have 6 bolt holes where as the 1.8 engine only has 4 bolt holes. Any ideas :confused:

What pully was on the engine originally?

[Adam]

Hmm, 1.8 spi should have v pully i think.

Cant you re drill a 6 Bolt one to suit as we discussed if required. Perhaps have to be done by an engineering co or the like though...

[Adam]

Get a xe one, and see if any of the holes line up. Its not exactly under a massive load so if you can get 3/4 bolt holes to line up, it'll be fine.

[Lee]

Im still confused as to what pully was on it originally if it wasnt a V lol

[Adam]

Wide belt jobbie?

[Lee]

On a 1.8 Spi??

[Adam]

Yeah?
If it was in a cav with pas/air con and shizzle


Some 1.2/1.4spi's have wide belts

[Richie_k83]

Yea it did have power steering and was fitted with the wider belt.

How many does a 2l 8v pully have, that may fit

[Lee]

How many does a 2l 8v pully have, that may fit

4 iirc :)

[Adam]

Sorted then
Use a 2l 8v one

[Lee]

It took you saying it to jog my memory lol

[Adam]

Actually, does a 1.8 8v have sensor teeth on the bottom pully?
If it does, scrap the 2l 8v idea lol lol lol

[Richie_k83]

no it doesnt have any sensor teeth on it, just gota find me a 2 litre 8v 0ne now. any body know where there is one up for grabs??

[Adam]

So the crank sensor is bolted to the front of the block like on a Xe?
If so, cool.

2L 8v pully then

Put a wanted up on migweb

[Richie_k83]
