There been a big demand for more gilmer sets, so I will design a water pump pulley that fits both long and short pumps.
Can anybody send me a short water pump pulley so I can get dimensions from it?, I will return to sender at my cost

Using a blower is the cheapest way of getting a little added useable horsepower, even a cheap turbo kit would be at least double the price of a homemade blower setup.
Turbo, with all the extra work required,
Blow through
at least a j pipe/carby hat/carby mods/fuel pressure regulator/decent fuel pump/fuel return line/oil line/oil drain/exhaust system. Finding a good used turbo is another problem, buy a new chinese turbo around $300.
A diy'er with reasonable mechanical skills could make a basic amr500 setup for under $300 (includes the blower price)

Amr500 will give usable horsepower on a standard motor at a cheap price. You can spend a heap on headwork/cams/carbs...etc and end up with less usable power gains than the amr500.
Using larger blowers is fine for higher boost levels but if you just need a little extra kick amr500 blowers at $180each are the ticket and with over 100 units available at this price they are a diy dream.
Good luck finding a good supply of sc12/14 blowers at a low price.

I should have shafts mid next week, they will be 200mm long so they can be cut to size and welded on to the amr500 shaft adaptor.
The shaft adaptor screws onto the end of an amr500, then a hole is drilled to accept a rolled dowel. Dowel is a safety measure that shears if there's a major blower breakdown

The check valve could be for reducing vacuum pressure for a non-carbon seal turbo.
Help stop the turbo from sucking oil under high vacuum. I use to do this over 30 years ago

crank pulley is fine, your alternator pulley is too far forward and its pushing the belt with it. Alternator pulley needs to slide back more

Not a Datsun but here's a twincharged ke25 with a 4k engine I did a while ago. Uses an amr500 and gt25 turbo. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I6yuZukrJ6I
