Frequently Asked Questions
- What is the benefit of an aluminium pulley?
An aluminium pulley is lighter than a steel pulley. This reduces the rotating mass. Consequently, your engine has less inertia to overcome. This results in quicker acceleration and better throttle response. - How do I know if I have a Long Water Pump (LWP)?
You can measure the distance from the block to the water pump hub. LWP setups have a longer distance (approximately 7 inches) than Short Water Pump setups. You must confirm this before ordering. - What does "3 groove" mean for my engine?
"3 groove" means the pulley supports three separate V-belts. This is used when you run a full set of accessories. For instance, one belt can run the alternator, one can run the water pump, and the third can run the power steering or AC compressor. - What accessories can a 3-groove pulley run?
A 3-groove pulley can run up to three accessories. For example, you can run the alternator, the water pump, and a power steering pump. This is a flexible setup for most street vehicles. - What is the performance gain from reduced rotating mass?
Reducing rotating mass is equivalent to adding horsepower. While the exact gain varies, you will experience faster revving and improved power across the entire RPM range. - Can I use this with serpentine belts?
No, this pulley is designed specifically for V-belts. You must purchase a pulley with a flat-ribbed groove if you use a serpentine belt system. - Do you offer nationwide shipping?
Yes, we offer fast and reliable nationwide shipping across South Africa. You can order from anywhere in the country. All orders are processed and shipped from our location in Alberton.
