Vortech 3.12 or 3.33
Hello!
I live in Ukraine, I have a full kit Vorteh REv-up, but my pulley is broken and I want to order a new one.
Tell me please, I can put the 3.12 pulley on the stock motor? Of the improvements only oil cooler!

please tell me more, can I put on the stock motor is 3.12 and the number of teeth should be on the second pulley?
and if I put the pulley 2.87 that I need to be replaced for the safety of my engine?

What pulley is broken?
The one that the main engine belt goes on (big long belt), or the one on the back side of hte supercharger, the small cogged belt?
There are three pulleys on the supercharger. Cogged on the back side (engine side) and then the normal style ribbed one front side (radiator/bumper side).
The Normal Ribbed one is the one that measures 3.33", 3.12", 2.87", etc.
The cogged pulleys on the backside are not measured in Inches like that, they're measured by number of teeth. ie. 32 and 28, etc.

No one can tell you if your car will blow up or not blow up..You first asked if you can put the 3.12 pulley on. Yes you can, many cars have successfully been driven with this pulley. will your car blow up? no-one can say ...Don't know the condition of your car.
Now you have asked can you put a 2.87 pulley on your car? The same answer applies as with the 3.12 pulley..
Both pulleys have been fine on many, many Vortech driven cars..To help reduce the chances of your car blowing up you should consider as a minimum, a retune after all the mod's you make. Also, the addition of larger injectors and a larger fuel pump would also be recommended particularly if you use the 2.87 pulley. For extra safety a Return Fuel System (using your OEM fuel rails) would be great.. An oil cooler is not critical for safety.. Hope this helps..

Great post above, agree with all that.
Anyways, that is NOT the front ribbed pulley. The ones that they call 3.33", 3.12", 2.87" are for the FRONT pulley.
The one you broke is different, it's the cog pulley. This pulley is measured in teeth. Count the teeth on the old one and buy the same one.
And your stock pulley on the front is 3.12", just to re-inform you.

If you aren't sure if it's ok to boost more, you're probably not ready to boost more.
Take your car to a good nissan place or respected tuner garage and have them do a compression test and general check over, tell them your plans, they will be able to answer better.
Every engine is different, does your car burn oil? That's a big indication that your car cannot take more boost without being built.
Headgasket and bolts are a waste of time if you're not building the engine also at the same time. It's silly to do just that, don't bother.
Boosting a non-build N/A motor is a gamble no matter how you look at it, no one can tell you if it's OK or NOT OK
Not sure I would agree here..The full kit is designed for the 3.33 pulley..Going with the 2.87 will as a minimum take all the OEM injectors could flow while putting the engine at risk...Personally, I would get rid of the Vortech FMU/fuel pump and all the hoses that go with it and replace them with a larger fuel pump larger injectors and a RFS using the OEM rails...No more worries about A/F ratio and ease of tuning..But thats just me..Belt and suspenders...
