Just bought me gilmore pully set made for rx7 fd3s comes with:

Alternator pully

water pump pully

crank pully

power steering pully an guide one

gilmore belt

power steering belt



Bought it so i can remove air pump and air con its a track only(drift) car.Also it sounds awsome with the belt wine.

How hard is it to remove the standard pullies? staight forward i hope air con and air pump are easy to get out.

Is it a ribbed belt like a supercharger belt? Never heard of that company before

yes it is a ribbed belt like a super charger one.I got it from a guy here in new zealand that is a machinest and sells them of trade me. high quality too.

650 bucks new zealand neva seen them any where else.

i didnt knot you could use a gilmer drive on a FD. doesnt the waterpump spin backwards in an FD. i knowticed the serp belt conversions for that car all have the belt on the back side of the waterpump pully making it spin in revers direction and the one FD pump i have at my shop has a diffent fin design. i could be wrong though but if this is correct the gilmer drive will not work in an FD.

they made the waterpump pully the same width az the belt so it spins the pump bakwards just like the orginal one.so it is smooth no teeth on it.

Unless some guy named "Gilmore" is making these for the OP, I think he means "Gilmer drive".



As mentioned already, the FD WP turns opposite of the FCs. The Gilmer belts I've seen tried on FDs had precious little belt contact from the smooth side. That usually leads to slippage especially on acceleration and at high rpm. There's also a tendency to over-tighten to try to compensate for the lack of contact and slippage. That can stress the front main bearing.

I think Gilmer belts may have an application with the FCs with their 'V' belts, but IMO not with the FD. The 5-rib works fine. So your fixing something that isn't broken. Expensive, not sure how they accomodate the CAS trigger and I don't think the belts last as long either.

To the OP, not universal, but there can be issues if you remove the Airpump on a stock ECU.
