SC14 Supercharged C20XE (crank pulley question)

[c20xeMira]

Hi,

I have an Australia Holden Camira, which I have done the C20XE conversion to, but it's still too slow for my liking. This is a shoestring budget project, so my quest for more power has taken me to the SC14 Toyota Supercharger. This can be found here for around 120-150 pounds.

I have done piles of research on everything to do with the SC setup itself. The only problem I am having is the Crank pulley. The easiest option I can see is to use my 'C20NE' Crank pulley on the engine, as this has spots for 3x v-belts, and I am only using 1 for the Alternator. I would then get a 2 V-belt SC14 supercharger pulley from pulleybros dot com dot au

My main question is: Can I take my C20NE pulley to a machining shop, get the original 4 holes filled in and then the C20XE patten drilled out and mount that up? Or was there a C20XE crank pulley with 3 v-belts?

Also, my plan is to remove the C20XE Throttlebody 'butterfly', so that the TB is essentially just a bit a intake pipe. I would then mount my C20NE (or a bigger TB) so it is before the S/C intake. I am thinking about powering it with Megasquirt.

Are there any problems with the above?

Thanks for your time :)

You should be able to get the pulley redrilled at a machine shop with no problem.

Cheers! Will post a walkthrough if I ever end up getting it completed. :)

Dunno what it is similar to in the UK, but it's a 'J-Body' car.

Here's a pic of mine (has Calibra brakes/rims now).. doh, can't post URLs til I have made 15 posts.. grr.

They are absolutely HATED here in Australia, so it's the ultimate sleeper.

With the Crank pulley, I just noticed that late C20XE's use a single multigroove belt. I assume there is a separate belt tensioner for this? Maybe I could change the pulleys over to these and then just add the SC to that same belt?

good luck with it, supercharged xe would be cool

The Mk2 Cavalier is the J type over here. What with the headlights on the Mira, they are hideous!

Yeah, they are a shocking looking car. I think it was meant to be a 'mini' version of a VL Commodore -- Australia's most popular car at the time.

If I convert over from V-belt to Wide groove belt system, how does the tensioner mount? I don't have any PAS or A/C left, and I use a different front mount, similar to the Nova's.

Do I need a PAS bracket or something? Or does it have its own bracket that mounts to the block?
