Hi,
Looking to make this my next purchase for my G40, hav'nt really seen many opitions in the field of purchasing a pully so just after adivice!?!
Were can i purchase one, only place i've found in the UK is jabbasport. Doesnt seem to be any on english ebay either.
Anyway selling or can recomend a place?
Cheers
Leon
can get them cheap on german ebay. Will increase boost to about a bar.
Easy enough to order via German ebay though?
paying is the difficult part. Paypal hasn't been available for long in Germany so a lot of sellers don't have it. Bank transfers are the only other real option but they aren't free, you'll have to ask your bank. Or just look for a seller who takes paypal. I find most sellers on there speak enough english to get by.
I'm assuming i need a toothed one right? ::)
if you've got a toothed belt conversion on it then yes. But most toothed belt conversions already come with a 65mm pulley
Well at the momment i just have a standard set up (with the two belts)
What should i be after?
in that case a toothed pulley wont work. You need just a normal twin v-belt pulley.
So a 65mm normal v belt pulley? Or is it worth upgrading to something else?
Wont be running stupid amounts of power...R1 Charger, 65mm pulley and induction kit at the most
I don't know what you mean by upgrade to something else, if you don't have toothed belt conversion they you'll have to use a normal twin v-belt pulley. If you want a toothed belt conversion then you need to buy a kit with all three pullies in it.
Yeah thats what i mean, should i get a whole conversion kit inc the 3 pulleys?
Or should i just get a 65mm pulley for the v belts?
Cant seem to find any twin v velt 65mm pulleys on ebay :(
depends how much you want to spend really.
Well is it really worth getting toothed belts considering i wont be going for major power?
What sort of price difference am i looking at? I'm guessing around £40 for 65mm twin pulley and £200 for toothed?
If you can afford it, go for the toothed belts. Although a 65mm v-belt pulley will see a good, noticeable increase in power (loads of extra torque from the off), I got really annoyed that power kept dropping off at around 5000rpm no matter how tight my belts were.
Hmm guess i'll just get 65mm v belt for now...
If anyone is selling let me know! or links to them being sold etc..
Cheers!
yeah a 65mm v belt pulley will slip more than the standard one does. toothies are always the best way if you can afford to.
and what happens if it slips?
Just lose in power im guessing, doesnt damage the charger its self?
Cheers for all the help ;D
lose power yeah

That all i need? Cant seem to find belts that go with it? =\
It uses the same belts as the standard pulley. You will need a suitable chip to go with it, otherwise your fueling will be all wrong and you'll kill your engine.
So the belts i have on it now work with a smaller pulley? Just gotta tension it up im guessing?
Total noob at all this :(
yep its exactly the same set up, its just the supercharger pulley is a few millimetres smaller.
What tools have you got available to you, cos you've got stop the charger spinning to change the pulley; using either a chain whip or a pair of stilsons or something. Its not a difficult job, but like anything else without the right equipment, you aint gunna get too far
Okay cheers!
I'll get just a pulley and get some new standard belts then :)
Just ordered pulley and new v belts from some german site, so will see how it goes :)
