interchangeability of MB crank pulleys? Larger pulley for m113 C43

is there a larger crank pulley that will fit on my C43?

perhaps from one of the E55 tuners? Or possibly a stock pulley for some other vehicle.

nope, all are different design but of roughly the same diameter.

I assume you want to crank up the boost on the SC... Only way to do that is to machine a smaller SC pulley (which is basically doing the same thing). It also is probably cheaper to machine the SC pulley. You won't find any OEM pulley larger than yours, and not to mention you cannot overdrive the accessories, thats always a big big nono. When you do machine a smaller SC pulley you will also have to get a new custom belt size as well, so its not as easy of a conversion as you may think, theres a lot involved. You may want to check with Code3, they may have something perfect for your application.

hope that helps,

I know I would have to change the important accessory pulleys as well- although that is somewhat dependant on the amount of change.

I"m aware of the amount of work that may be involved-

my other vehicle has a dual alt set=up (using a large case gm alt as the 2nd one which is a complete custom wind) and an engine driven air compressor- both of which I custom installed from scratch.

are you sure there are no larger pulleys?

He had a post called "how much boost can you run" or something like that. It detailed what he went thru to run a larger crank pulley to get more boost on his Kleemann SC. Search is your friend.
