crankshaft pulley

Anyone got any tips on pulling the crankshaft pulley bolt ... I don't have the special tool and was considering to get a damn pipe wrench and use that .........
Any suggestions are welcome ,..
I am going to check my uncle at the strauss discount auto he works at , to see if I can get something to hold the damn pulley

Impact wrench is your best bet. Anything else will just turn the motor unless you block it some how.

I've heard of the miata guys using trick with the starter to get bolt off. The idea is to disconnect fuel injection, ignition, spark plugs and crank the motor with the starter while having a long wrench holding the bolt. The other end of the wrench should be resting firmly on the floor.

If you have a big wrench give it a smack with a hammer
( homemade impact) or try holding the flywheel bolts while turning the crank bolt.

who makes the crank pulley for the 1.5

who makes the crank pulley for the 1.5? and does it have a harmonic balancer on it? And also. after you did your flywheel did you notice a good gain or not, and also, does you clutch now have a hard life because I make mine stink all the time and wondering if a stage 1 will work or do I go to stage 2 ?

There is none for 1.5. Bruce is working on a 1.8 bp engine swap, and they do make them for 1.8. I wish they made them for 1.5.

What about the Flywheel

Has anybody gotten their Flywheel grinded down. I am curious if it is worth the hassle and extra clutch wear?

Oh, I meant lightening they flywheel for HP gain. Ya that is normal, but you can have your flywheel lightened like the one's they sell on Nopi and such for $400 bucks. Supposed to make a noticable difference due to Centrifical Force being so much less to turn. Generally will give 5-7 HP to the Wheels depending on vehicle.
