Thanks Joel 
That is exactly what I meant by that statement.
Of course I understand that a faster spinning water pump can lead to lack of coolant flow through the engine thus causing to overheat.
My point being that majority of people with the 4agze engines are running the 175mm crank pulley and I have not heard of overheating problems and some have run them over 3 years. If this modification constantly caused engines to overheat then they wouldn't be so popular.
Something else to think about is that many modifications that increase the hp of an engine will lead to a greater likelihood of a component failure. So yes there is that extra possibilty of overheating.
Mr TA22 you incorrectly stated that the alternator would be spinning faster. This is not true as the alt/ac/ps are on a spearate belt.
The reason people rarely use a smaller s/c pulley is because there is an electromagnetic clutch behind it that does not make a smaller pulley easily adapted unless you scrap it.
Raskas I think you meant to say a larger water pump pulley. Yes there are larger water pump pulleys available but if you fit the 175mm pulley there is no room for one.
