<... unit would include a replacement drive pulley, for the eccentric shaft ...>
Could you simplify manufacturing by:
Manufacture a flange that holds the rotor that sandwiches between the pulley and E-shaft hub
Manufacture the rotors with generic mounting holes that mate to [the aft side of] the flange
Perhaps provide a variety of pulleys that mate to the flange that the rotor mounts to
This would allow these folks to sell a single unit to Rotary, Soob, V-6, etc. folks but with type specific flanges (cheap stamped out parts) to adapt the rotor to the application. If there were flanges available with various offsets, that might give folks some configuration flexibility.
Hub-flange could be easily manufactured to fit any application, ALL of the various capacity alternators would be manufactured to mate to the generic flange bolt pattern. Pulleys of various diameters and offsets could be offered to drive other accessories, or individuals could fabricate their own pulleys to mate to the flange.
I'll have to take a closer look at my stuff to get a better picture ... Jim S.

Bill,
Is the replacement pulley - same size as the Mazda pulley or
bigger to slow down the pump OR either.

George,
Depends, we have been talking about a E - SHAFT mounted alternator in this thread. This unit would include a replacement drive pulley, for the excentric shaft. This doesn't require a belt to run itself. The pulley would run other DRIVEN items like the waterpump. We can, and probably will, get quotes for a unit that replaces the stock Mazda waterpump. That unit could be under or over driven. Most of the Racemate pump/alternator units are UNDER-driven since they are intended for racing level high RPMs. Since the pulley is manufactured by them various ratios would be possible.
