Hi all
Starting with a 1.6.LNC bottom end and proposed Boundary Oil pump, ATI damper and Wiesco pistons from Fm, Belfab rods and lightened 1.8 flywheel and a later 1.6 head with solid lifters and 1mm oversize valves. Adaptronic ECU.
1. Using the ATI damper reqiures a ribbed waterpump and alternator pulley. can I switch the pulley from the current alternator over or do I need a later one. If so from what year and is the voltage regulation build in or is it controled via the Adaptronic.
2. Anyone experience of Belfab Rods.
Thanks in advance
Andy

The oem is ribbed. Timing is controlled by adaptronic.
Yes they will be fine for you 280bhp
One thing is with you 1.6 head your really lacking flow even with all the bells and whistles. A wise investment is for a 99-00 head. Bolt right up with minor modification. That will give you more bang for your buck.
What turbo are you getting?

I've heard of an improved 1.6L JDM head but I have not seen any pictures.

Do you already have 1.6 turbo hardware? If not get a 1.8L............

A 1.8 head will not fit onto a 1.6 block, ever, full stop. The bore spacing is wrong, the bolt spacing is wrong, the coolant and oil ports don't align, etc. You might as well try to install a head from a Chevy SB350 onto the engine.
To install a Euro-spec 1.6 NB head, you just need to figure out what to do about the CAS. Mechanically, it's a direct fit.

Thanks for you comments
Just to clear up a few points.
I've already got the full 1.6 FM turbo kit and ECU with a Torson LSD. I shattered the standard just using the car never mind standing starts (256bhp 216ft/lbs)!
I'm in the UK so it will be a later european 99-00 1.6 head with soild lifters.
Intend using a crank angle sensor.
So I take it any of the ribbed alternators from later NA's will be ok.
Anyway will have to get back to doing some proper work!!!!!!!!
Thanks all and look forward to your comments.
