Cheers for the review. Probably something I will skip but had looked at it previously.

 

On a cold night with the lights, and heated rear window on I would worry about the battery going flat.

 

I am not sure. I think only problem in theory might be the idle. Because the pulley makes the accessories turn a little slower. So at 1000 rpm they turn as at 800 rpm with normal pulley, at 3k, they turn as by 2600 with normal pulley (numbers are examples, not calculation....)

So every time the engine is above idle, everything turns in the rev range as with normal pulley. I guess if I don’t idle the car for extremely long time with all electrics on, it will be fine. The manufacturer claims only extreme audio installations might be a problem. As I can’t feel a difference on PS and AC, I doubt alternator is not working well enough.

 

Do they make one for the V6? I'm not worried about my battery, using a Yoshimura race stator on my road bike has taught me a lot.

 

Not as simple on the V6 cause the V6 one has a built in balancing weight.

 

i have one of these, and have had it installed for almost 2 years now.

no issues of any kind to report relating to the pulley, or battery power etc.

to check all is well, put all electrics on, let the car idle, and check the battery voltage using alfadiag.

mine is a selespeed, and this relies heavily on full battery power.

i have used this car on a cold night, with lights, heater on full, stereo with amp&sub, no issues.

will be fine!

 

I think you would lighten and balance the crankshaft with the pulley installed? Or perhaps there is no need to? Speak to the engineering firm doing the lightening, they will be able to advise best.

 

I'm posting bike crank up to them this week and I'll ask them when they phone me (giving the all clear to do the work after inspecting journals etc). It's bound to be friggin dear since it costs £300 to remove the balancing gear and balance/ polish a 4 cyl crankshaft.

 

We make this pulleys without problems, it's simple lathe job, Singapure pulleys weights 850-880 grams, i go even further and lighten mine to 650gr, and 20k no problems.
By far in my opinion is the cheapest mod any TS can get.
Sadly V6 pulley have balance weight on it, and its very expensive to produce.
PS - light pulley is not recommended is you has above 400W stereo.

 

Hi,

I bought one of these pulleys (from Singapore) but it won’t fit the early 2.0 TS GTVs, mine is 96, the pulley is wider on the early ones and the belts have one more Vee 7 i think, newer ones have 6 i think.
Can you make pulleys for the older ones?

 

why not just use a 6 Vee belt?

 

How much does it cost, and where to order?

 

 

I installed this undersize light pulley to my 97 GTV 2.0TS (early 2.0TS) without any problem.
They supply a 6PK1950 aux belt to me but I think it is a little bit too long.
I bought a 6PK1940 aux belt and now it is good fitted :thumbs:

 

Is that a 6 channel or 7 channel belt?

thanks

no problem with mine from Singapore,been on the gtv for about three years now,2002 car
got mine throw ebay chap!

Hello,from here the Finland. Still all has worked well in the pulley after the exchange? Has come to any problems which would be good to mention. I thought also put the part into place when I get enough information and assurances the matter.

How do these parts can be ordered? Tell me all the possible places of purchase.

 

13k kms later, and all is fine. No signs of anythign unusual. Maybe but just maybe the A/C is not so strong at iddle when the car stands in traffic jam and is 30+ degrees outside, but its completely fine when driving.

I ordered it directly by email from Hotwheels singapore (link in my first post), but they delivered just to my friend in Hong Kong and he broght it to me when he visited Europe. But I am sure they post to Europe as well.

 

Thanks for information! I sent message to the Singapore.

Have you been in other after replacing problems in the car?

 

hi guys, how is everything coming together?
what can i expect if i do this mod, more power? better engine response?
let me know, you guys running this for a while now

 

Yes, you can expect all of that and car is reving a little easier, but the difference is not dramatic and after few miles you get used to it so you dont realize it anymore. I had no negative effect in the last 1,5 years / 15k miles, price of the mod is not too high so why not. I would go for it again.
Only negative thing is that with every aux belt change you need to think about ordering different than original belt of the right (shorter) length.

 

At least 30k with my 156, and 10k with my Fiat Coupe 20VT and no problems.
We make for the Coupe even smaller pulley and it still can do it's job nicely....

 

I'm sure it'll be less than with the worn dual mass pulley I have now.

Was this on a 1.9 or 2.4?

 

1.9 - there will be more vibrations than new and original dual mass pulley. BTW the guy who ordered it had exact same thoughts as you.....trust me, will be disappointed......

 

I know I should fit a free wheeling pulley on the alternator to reduce the vibration when using a solid one.

The DMF pulley weighs nearly 4 kg and has a substantial diameter on the 2.4. It does leave some room for extra power.
