I have never seen shaped copper used in automotive application. It's more suited to conducting electricity and water under floors and in walls.

Aluminum requires special tools because it is stronger.

its a frickin' radiator, not a set of aftermarket wheels.

By poeple I mean people here in the states. Your average truck-driving, beer-drinking, hamburger-eating, mullet-wearing gearhead would rather chrome up every inch of his engine bay than use copper anywhere in it. My steel flex rad hose is copper lined on the inside, but steel for appearance on the outside.

I've got a used OEM Legacy pulley for $40 shipped if anyone needs one. alexyjesi@verizon.net

Wow. I hadn't checked the posts in a while, and I must say I'm impressed with all the feedback. However, it's left me a little more confused than when I originally posted. At this point I just want to get my car back on the road. If elninoalex's OEM Legacy pulley will work fine, then that seems like the cheapest alternative. I just want to get her back on the road. I'm actually starting my second job so that I have the money to invest into all the problems with my Suby without cutting into my regular budget ( delivering pizzas is a good reason to drive my car and make some nice tips ). I'm just lucky I have a girlfriend that doesn't get jealous when I spend a lot of time with my other girl. Of course I told her I was getting a second job so I could spoil her more. Also, thanks for all the advice on removal techniques. I forgot to mention I have the 5 speed conversion, but I think I recall an open spot between the engine and transmission where i can put something in to lock the flywheel. I was looking under the hood and it appears that my wobbling crank pulley has caused the pulley on my brand new alternator to go kittywampus (technical term for not straight).......ARGHHH!!! It looks crooked and there are metal filings around where the shaft comes out. Hopefully I can return it to the parts store and say it was defective. So I guess in a roundabout way I'm asking if Elninoalex's pulley will work, because if so I'm gonna message him about purchasing it. Thanks again to everyone who posted.

Cheers,

I bought a pulley from elninoalex and it's currently on my '92 Ebony . . . No problems.

Thanks Dan. I am actually waiting to here back on an email I sent to elninoalex about purchasing his pulley. I have another car to drive, but the Jetta has issues of it's own. I got stuck pretty bad in the Montana snow this winter and chipped a reverse gear so I'm hoping to fix the Suby so I can park the Jetta. Then hopefully I can fix and sell the Jetta and put all that money back into the new love of my life........ the SVX of course!

Regards,

I hate to thread necro, but I need a new pulley. Is that the one they are referring too?


And holy smokes!! A guy from MT too!!


And I take it a pulley from the 94 on up legacy will work? This looks a lot like ours.

So can anyone besides me confirm that the pulleys interchange? It sure looks like it from what I have read.


Nobody has to change their pulleys anymore?

I can confirm that a 2.0L WRX crank pulley is dimensionally identical to the SVX pulley.
