20v/16v lightweight pulley kits

[86Pilot]

I was wondering if it is possible to use a full 16v pulley kit (crank, alternator and water pump) in a 20V engine (with 20v alternator and waterpump)

I'm under the impression that they cannot be mix matched (16v and 20v pulleys in the same engine) due to a misalignment between the crank and the alternator pulleys, but I am not sure if it is possible to use a complete kit from the 16v on 20v peripherals.

Can anyone shed some light on this issue?

My friend use a complete 16v pulley kit on his blacktop (just add a small spacer under the alternator pulley for the misalignment)
Sadly I don't have any picture

Thanks for the quick reply Project D.

Is your friend using only 20v components (alternator and waterpump)?

If he is, then I guess I'll go with a 16v pulley kit.
The spacer seems a easy enough mod that should not prevent the kit from performing correctly. :wink:

Also, the crank pulley only uses one row, right? The second outer row shouldn't be necessary if your're not running AC/PS.

Far as I know my friend use 20V components yes.
And single row crank pulley is perfect if you don't have AC/PS

My friend use the red set, I use the gold one (on my 16v)

(all parts made by aussifan, some with my very own specs )

Thanks for the input Project D.

Do you remember what was the thickness of the spacer to make up for the misalignment?

I don't remember but it will not hard to sort it out.
By putting the 2 pulleys side by side you will be able to mesure the exact tickness you will need.

Right.

Will do as soon as I get them from aussiefan. Thanks!
