<excerpt>Hi Bill,

 the W/P pulley is about 4 inches dia and the eshaft pulley is about
4.75 inches dia. A 5.5 inch dia W/P pulley would fit with the standard
eshaft pulley but if we want to go any bigger, then the eshaft pulley
would need to be correspondingly smaller. In the attached photo, do
not be fooled by the eshaft pulley on the front, that is for other
uses, the W/P driver is behind this and is smaller in dia. It also
carries the CAS toothed ring, you can just see a tooth or two in the
pic. 

 I think somewhere in the range, 4 inch driving a 6 inch W/P pulley
would give us about 4000 rpm - alternator,  at 6000 engine rpm in
cruise. Even if we reverse the present pullies,ie 4 inch driving the
4.75 inch W/P,w are in the ballpark. 

Are you located near the Racemate shop? I am on the other side of the
world, but I could get a W/P cartridge to them if necessary. I have
the online catalogue but it does not give pulley size info. BTW, the
RX8 cartridge looks to be the same bolt pattern as the earlier models
but the pulley do not stick out as far,( the End Hsg is thicker}, and
the material in cast Alum.  This pic came from Rupert of
asianautospares, and is typical of his engines, you can see it is 'as
new'.
