XE pulley

[Mike]

Am i rigth in thinking you have to get it machined when XE'ing a Nova? Or am i tripping again?

Oh yea, whats all this pot type bullocks i keep hearing about?

[nova_saloon]

no u just need the single v belt types! or you can machine down a double v if needs be but the warp slightly somtimes!

[Adam]

Pot type is the big flywheel that the later xe's have.
Earlier ones have a lighter flat flywheel.

No xe's had single pullys AFAIK?
The early ones had double v pullys, hence you have to get the outer v machined off, mine cost £20 to have done. You could do it with a grinder if you're in a pikey mood lol

[Mike]

Grinder lol as if!!

Nice one for heads up chaps :D +repz for ya both!

Also, any idea how much nitrous an XE would handle? Ordering some jets this week, but not sure which size ones?

[Adam]

25-50 straight shot
or 100 through a controller

In a nova? pics?

[Nobby]

No in the "Belmont" :P

[John]

Ahh, the pulley will fit in the "mk2 astra estate, with dodgy details on the v5" With no probs whatsoever, however it won't in a nova. You need the twin pulley for the old twin v belt driven xe, and machine the outer pulley off, like whats's been said already.

[Nobby]

aaahhhh i seeee!!

[John]

Like so.

you can grind the multi-v pully in half and cut a belt in half like my mate did lol

Humm i dont think my XE had dubble V pully, it was from a mk2 Astra 16v.

Though for the money mike find the lad on mig who sells the alloy one's really cheep, he also dose fly wheels.
