FD Pulley Kit For FC Pulleys + ACV & Air Pump

[jono395]

hi, looking at getting a pulley set for my FC... ive got rid of the air pump, but rather than getting a dual alternator pulley, i was looking at this FD kit... http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=220681727973&fromMakeTrack=true&ssPageName=VIP:watchlink:top:en
 
it includes everything, so couldnt i convert from the V belt, to the 6 rib belt?
 
Also, i was going to remove my ACV... but i have ABS.. ive read about the connectors for the wiring or something? will it make it harder to get rid of.. or would it be fine?
 
cheers

I don\'t think the centre pulley will fit, as the shaft pulley stack is different on the FC - but someone may correct me on this.
 
Also, the FD water pump turns the opposite way, so you\'d probably wont the FD water pump as well - not sure if the holes line up for a direct swap, but they should do.
 
Regarding the ACV - can\'t see why removing this should interfere with ABS, you just need the blanking plates and some caps for the vac lines.

cheers for that..
 
i was assuming it would need modifying to fit..  turning the opposite way isnt a problem, as i can still run a belt the same way i do on the FC..
 
what do you mean by the shaft pulley stack? how far out the crank pulley comes off the block?
 
i will start taking the acv apart today, see what happens :O

The bit that goes on the eccentric shaft at the front of the engine that carries the pulley - they are different between FC and FD - the parts look similar - but are not interchangeable (except on mass )

nightmare, so cant get the kit then? :O ... i got rid of the ACV and carbon cannister today, got some 5mm steel, so im going to make a plate to fit tomorrow..
