bigger than 8" pulley on new novi 1k?

[green93notch]

can we put a bigger than a 8" pulley on the new novi 1k to get more boost since theres two belts???

and not worry about blowing up the SCer? cause i heard that they put a bigger pulley on the SCer then the old set up.

Crank pulley that comes with the Novi 1000 (revised) is a 7" pulley.

Its actually a "one piece" pulley that drives the accessories and a 7" for the blower.

Oh, and a 7" pulley is extremely close to the fan shaft. An 8" is gonna be SUPER close to the fan shaft. Doubt anything bigger than an 8" will clear that shaft.

**Incase your running the stock fan**

I am curious about the 8" myself. I got to looking at the 7" and the fan shaft the other day and i am wondering if the 8" or the blower belt is gonna clear it.

I havent heard of anyone complaining about it yet, so i guess it will.

i think it will, i think theres a few people that have done it on this board already so im not worried about the 8"er. i was just looking at the track times with the novi 1k and mikeymustang is doing something right with his times hes got. i hope i get the same cause of my weight.

i have the 8" crank on my revised 1k. it does clear the w.p. pulley & fan shaft. i had my mechanical fan in for a couple months with my 8" crank untill i put the electric unit in. the thing to know is to get a 59" blower belt. this longer belt will allow you to have some slack in the belt so you can push it down with the tensioner keeping it away from the w.p. pulley. if you run the 58" belt with it(wich will fit) then the belt will rub the w.p. pully & hit the screws that hold it in place. there are 2 holes in the blower belt tensioner. you should be using the upper one now, & will use the lower one after upgrading to the 8" crank. the lower one lets you get the reqiuered tension sooner on the blower belt since it will be longer tan needed. this causes no problem & works perfectly for many of us here with the revised 1k's. you'll enjoy the 8" crank 2+ psi of boost extra.........

thanks for the tip! always helpful to know what you're getting into before you get into it. :) do you think that long tubes will help out with more power? (1 5/8 LTs)

YES! Its definetely good know what one is getting into befor they go with it.

Not sure about the long tubes though.

longtubes are a must in my opinion. Unless you get those AFM 1 3/4" shorties. I would love a set but i don't have $450 for a set of shorties!
