C16XE/X16XE Conversion bottom pulley / alternator?

[beef@novadose.net]

Got everything ready to put the 16v in, shafts, mounts, loom etc, but sure I read something on one of the old PNG region sites about changing the bottom pulley (for a GSi one?) and something about the alternator and/or alternator bracket?

Any info, or better still a link to a guide?

You can either keep the ribbed belt pullys, apparently that doesn't rub.

Or convert to a nova sri v-belt setup and a v-belt alternator.
I made an alternator tensioner from an old tensioner off a astra that i extended and cut.

You'll likely need a single V bottom pulley and alternator/alternator pulley in order to clear the chassis legs, but that might just be for the big blocks.

I have one if you need one mate, off my old 1600...

PM me if needed
