power steering pulley

Recommended Posts

hey all

 

as the topic says can you change the size of the power steering pulley or the pulley on the harmonic balancer?

 

looking at putting a smaller pulley on either end as belts love spinning off @ 5000+rpm

 

looking at one of these at the moment

cheers for feedback guys

Not aware of any off-the-shelf pump pulleys being smaller but harmonic pulleys are readily available and would solve your problem

 

Seeing as the crankshaft is where your rpm measurement comes from, the pulley reduction should be from here. This will slow the belt down along with the pump pulley.

 

The one you linked to is very small, would reduce power assistance a lot at low engine speeds. May not be liveable on an everyday basis.

the one listed is available in 2 sizes apparently

car isn't a daily driver so not fazed about reduced power assistance at low speeds
