its come from a 91 ss i got a legacy 1994 wonder if they use same size pulley.

also what i need to know and hope someone know his i got only the crank pulley its about 11 cm while the original one as about 14cm

the other pulley are stock size im lookng for belt replacment
both belt. but since the other pulley are stock i wonder is i can find the correct belt.

but i do wonder if i need both pulley with smaller diameter to use them. since this pulley is about 8 year old.

hope guy can point me to the right direction thx in advance to anyone

peace

What you have is an underdrive pulley. The negligible HP increase is not worth the loss in power going to your alternator, PS pump and A/C compressor. If I were you, I'd sell it and try to find a Perrin LW pulley.

Sending something fast is a GOOD thing. If you sent him money without doing your homework, that's on you.

As for getting a belt, there's the stock tension adjustment which should be able to handle the difference, but if not, you set the tensioner in the middle of its travel and take a string or something to wrap around the pulleys like a belt to measure what you need, then go to an auto parts store and buy something with about the same length. Since you set the tensioner in the middle of its adjustment when you measured, you know the belt you find can be off a little from the length you measured and still fit. If you want to be really thorough, you could take the measurements at the top and bottom of the tensioner's adjustment so you know your exact length range.

Getting a belt to fit really shouldn't be too big a deal. You might have to run to the auto parts store a couple of times but that is about it. The only decrease in performance you will notice is the ac won't work as well when you are in town stop and go. Once you stay rolling it works fine. I keep meaning to tint my windows and haven't got around to it yet.

If you put it on you should notice a difference in performance, slight but worth it.
