16v Non PS pulley setup Q's

Post by Chaps »

Thought I had this 16v engine lark clear in my head... Not yet it would seem :blush:

Ok... As we all know, power steering in rocco's is few and far between, so you dont need the PS pump. But the KR has a pump which also acts as the tensioner for the belt. Currently my engine has PS and Aircon which I do not need. so I am wanting to swap it all over.. Its also running on a Multigroove Serpentine belt so uses a different bottom pulley, alternator and Alternator mount with a Tensioner on it (i think its a mk3 golf setup with aircon).

What setup, from what engine/car can you use to combat this problem? I want V-belt, which drives just the Alternator and water pump only.

Help me please...

You can swap the pulleys for the standard 8v ones and run the 8v v belt with no problems!

The alternator mount im not sure on tho, i'm running a standard KR one with no problems

I couldn't get my 8v ones to line up with the 16v engine, I needed to run the 16v crank pulley, so I just welded the 16v PAS pulley to the 16v Water pump pulley so they both spin when the belt spins. It was proving very difficult to find a non PAS 16v pulley.

My 16v conversion (6a bottom end, KR head) was already running the V-belt set-up, but for power steering, so all double -pulley'd.

8V ones wont fit, neither will the random assortment of Audi pulleys I had in teh shed! Either the holes wont line up, or the 'offset' to be in line with the other pulleys is wrong.

I ordered a new water pump pulley from VW, (can get you teh part no if you like when I get home) and left the double pulley on at the crank. You can get the one for the crank too, but when I asked, it was a fairly horrendous price, as it has some rubber anti-vibration bushing or something. You may have no choice but buy it if you are transferring over to V belt completely however.

Hope that makes sense, give me a shout if you need anymore info

One question though, are the pulleys like pick n mix in that you can swap them as required?

I woulda thought so if only to save cost and increase efficiency, however I wanna use the PS pulley on the crank shaft as a timing wheel if I can't find a decent 72 tooth sprocket of the right diameter to fit inside my dizzy :D
