175mm Crank Pulley

Hey...
I have done a search on this and have found nothing that helps me, so I am going to ask.
I want to put a 175mm Crank pulley on my ae101 GZE with out changing other pulleys. My problem at the moment is going to be the tensioner pulley that I think will hit the crank, is this true, will I need another pulley?
Also will this affect my water pump or alternator, anything like that?? Any information would be awesome,
Thanks heaps,
Luke

the 175mm nevo kits come with a new smaller idler pulley so it fits and it will overspeed the water pump but hey it will make lots of power and all the cars ive seen with 175mm pulleys dont have water pump problems

dont quote me on this but i had an odd feeling that the tensioner from the timing belt on 4a engines is suitable... just goto the wreckers and find a suitable idler that will fit.. it is what about 60mm diameter off hand ?
