Now this is beginning to make sense to me.  The stock 20B e-shaft pulley is 5.5", and the wp pulley is 4".  I guess Mazda did this in the Cosmo since it was a luxury car (with an automatic trans) and not subject to as high of rpms as the RX-7's.  Another probability is that the Cosmo's electrical demands were greater, and therefore required the alternators to be spun faster.  I need to find (or build) a 4" multi-V e-shaft pulley, or change everything to a dual V-type so I can use undersize after-market pulleys.

     The Racing Beat and MazdaTrix dual V-belt undersize pulley is
   3-7/8" diameter. The same as the stock 86-91 waterpump pulley.
