Any of the EJ series will fit the SVX, but the pulley's on the brats, GL's (Leone's) and XT/XT6's are different.

Re: ej crank pulley
Do you need a different belt for aftermarket pulleys?

Re: ej crank pulley
No. They should match the original pulley. so a normal belt be fine

Re: ej crank pulley
If it is a stock diameter you don't need a new belt...if it is an underdrive pulley, then yes, you will need a shorter belt..

Re: ej crank pulley
I just hear bad things about them being unreliable, it seems like I've read about a member here who had two light weight pulleys break on him before he went back to a stock one.

Re: ej crank pulley
Both lightweight pulleys I got from motorsports svx are still working fine in my svx and my dad's svx. Never heard of a properly installed lightweight pulley failing.

I have a lightweight, undersized, el cheapo pulley that I purchased off of Ebay. It is a 'Bomz' pulley. Read more about it here --> http://www.subaru-svx.net/forum/show...ghlight=pulley I read above that you can not even give it away. Well, you know how the government has that gun recycling program? Consider me the undersized pulley recycle program. I will happily 'recycle' your (and anyone elses) pulley. I will PM you with my mailing address and will pay for shipping. I'm dead serious! BTW: Mine has been installed since 2006 (see thread) and I have not had any issues whatsoever. Also, I have not shown before and after dyno results due to my SVX not working happily on a dyno anymore. On an AWD dyno, all four wheels do not turn at the same speed and weird burning smells come from underneath. It shifts and runs great so I'm not chancing any more dyno runs, hence no more mods being done. And to answer your question, I can not tell a difference. Since I have done more than one modification at a time, it was hard to determine what the affect of this mod has done. However, on all of my other subarus, a pulley upgrade had a measurable positive difference in hp and torque, with the exception being my Subaru RX turbo. That car saw a hp/tq lose for some strange reason. Hp/Torque differences with a lightweight and/or undersized-lightweight pulley is usually linear, meaning for example a 4hp gain would be across the rpm board, rather than up and down. This makes it hard to feel a difference on the road. Turbo'd cars usually have more of a gain than N/A cars so differences can usually be felt more. I expect the pulley to help in my case by helping the car get going quicker since I have a modified cam profile, which may have slowed me down a bit on the low end. For the record: I do not recommend undersized pulley. If you feel the need for speed and want to get one and install it, go ahead. Get a stock sized lighter pulley with stock sized belts and have fun. Good luck!

Re: ej crank pulley
Now i know this is a thread regarding lightweight crank pulleys, but. Will other lightweight pulleys designed for the EJ engine series fit our engine. like alternator or power steering ones? is there any performance gain to be had from those? i ask because unorthodox racing has them available and it made me curious.

Re: ej crank pulley
Yes and no. You have to watch which one you get. The alternator I believe is fine but the P/S comes in 2 flavors. Some years had coarse teeth and some have fine, The SVX I believe has coarse and most WRX have fine but some have coarse.
