Anyone know what sized serpentine belt an ASP 178 pulley uses?
I swapped my EC 180mm pulley for an ASP 178mm oem type pulley to see ( hope ) if my wobble would go away. It didn't, it's just as bad...lol. I guess now I know that my crankshaft is 100% at fault and not EC's pulley.
Anyways, that's not the point. Since the pulley is already on I'm not taking it off but I just realized that my oem serpentine accessory belt is too large. I need to know if a 1 inch smaller belt will do.
Anyone?

in the past i have had a 172, 175, 180 and 190 (currently on my car) I have always used the stock serpentine belt.
BTW PM me if you need a crank

For now I'm just going to ride my engine until something breaks. Hopefully much later than sooner...lol. I've already been 4 months like this and many many wot runs.

Hey Bro,
just got off the phone with ASP Tech Line and he told me it should work with the following belts:
Gates part# K080515
Dayco part# 5080515
ASP Tech Line: 936-588-3117
FYI: The gates if I recall correctly is the belt I used.
Sucks you went through all that trouble and you still have a wobble.

I'm going to try a 66" belt instead of the oem 67" belt to see if that solves my problem. I can slip the oem belt on without even messing with the tensioner.
As for the wobble, I'm hoping it's more of a mental thing than anything else....lol...it's worked fine with the wobble.

I guess I should actually read your post.

I bought a 66" belt and that did the job.
Funny, my car feels considerably slower with the 178 over the 180. I could be crazy though, I'm kinda negative sometimes and I'm just waiting for everything to fall apart...lol. It could also be the belt slipping from the grease from my hand and paint that was applied to the pulley. I'll keep beating on it to see if it gets better.
Good news though, the pulley definitely has less wobble than before. To the point of barely being noticeable. I turned the car on for a second at first and thought it had the same wobble but after I got home and put a light to it, it's actually not bad at all. The SC belt used to jump slightly and now it seems very steady. I'm happy.
EDIT: Wrong again...it definitely had the same wobble after messing around with it and looking at it in the daylight. Car pulls hard though so I think it was belt slip that was happening before. Guess I have to live with the wobble.
