The Chubby Ninja Posted June 4, 2014 Posted June 4, 2014 Oh yea, ill be interested in 3.12 pulley as well, as got 2.87 at the mo and destroyed old 3.12 pulley when I was taking it off haha i wrecked my standard pulley fitting the charger as vortech had put it on the wrong way, luckily i had bought the 3.12 Quote
ChrisB Posted June 4, 2014 Posted June 4, 2014 This is a good point actually.. spares like V3 oil, pulley changes for experimentation, filters, belt - apart from the Vortech mothership, where will these come from? Quote
The Chubby Ninja Posted June 4, 2014 Posted June 4, 2014 its only really vortech you can get them from or things like filters you can make custom cold air setups but the car will need mapped again as it changes the airflow.you get the v3 charger pre filled with oil and you get 3 bottles spare so not really something to worry about as yet. if you are getting a smaller pulley than standard you will need a smaller belt. im sure chris can sort you out with one or some other traders sell them aswell as its just a gates belt so easy to get your hands on 1 Quote
The Chubby Ninja Posted June 4, 2014 Posted June 4, 2014 as for experimenting with the pulleys i wouldnt recommend it as its an expensive game. the standard pulley will give you around 360hp at the wheels, the 3.12 will give you around 400-410 at the wheels but thats it on the engines safe limit. the 2.87 is only really safe to do on a forged engine or if you have bought a charger second hand from a a**hole in the US that cant hold boost! not thinking about any russian in particular . id say to go with the 3.12 pulley straight away as you might aswell Quote

Vlad Posted June 8, 2014 Posted June 8, 2014 Belt wise, as far as I remember - each step smaller pulley shortens belt by 0.5"... So if you going from 3.33" standard pulley to 3.12", you'll need 0.5" shorter belt... That's as far as I remember! Please double check Quote

Please double check From what I've read the standard belt is a 93.5" 6 rib ~ so for the 3.12" pulley you would need a 93" 6 rib belt. Gates make them from what I've just read on my350z.com. Quote
Vlad Posted June 8, 2014 Posted June 8, 2014 That's correct...I got belt for 3.12 pulley at home, but I'm away till next Sunday, so can't confirm length Quote
Vlad Posted June 8, 2014 Posted June 8, 2014 Actually no, my belts will be different as I'm running GM pulley mod as well lol Quote
mouthwash Posted June 9, 2014 Posted June 9, 2014 How much we talking for the pulley + belt? Can only seem to find prices in USD. Quote
mouthwash Posted June 9, 2014 Posted June 9, 2014 (edited) Okay, well depending on price I'm in 1. Vlad - 3.12" pulley x 1 2. ChrisB - 3.12" pulley x 1 same as Vlad 3. Jumping350 3.12" pulley x 1 4. Evilscorp - 3.12" pulley x1 5. GMballistic - 3.12" pulley x1 (and belt to suit) 6. Mouthwash - 3.12" pulley x1 (and belt to suit) 7. Edited June 9, 2014 by mouthwash Quote
Vlad Posted June 9, 2014 Posted June 9, 2014 I'm sure it will be cheaper than buying it separately, later on, yourself and paying more for delivery/import tax etc ! Wil wait and see what Chris says Quote
Tarmac@TarmacSportz Posted June 10, 2014 Author Posted June 10, 2014 Pulley - 2A036-312 - £80.00 EA Cog belt – 2A042-075 - £35.00 Serp Belt - 2A046-795 - £60.00 No idea whether sorting belts here is cheaper or not but this is what I got back from Jimmy at Vortech Quote
Vlad Posted June 10, 2014 Posted June 10, 2014 main belt (Gates) over here is usually 20-25 quid Quote

Any idea where to get the belts from then Vlad? ...as there is going to be a few of us after them from the looks of it. Quote
Tarmac@TarmacSportz Posted June 10, 2014 Author Posted June 10, 2014 Yeah I would stick to just the pulleys, I looked at importing belts previously and it was more expensive than the UK 1 Quote
