I haven't found anything suitable in Real Steel's catalogue, do you know of a supplier and any pitfalls in changing?
Changing your crank pulley for a smaller one will slow down your water pump and alternator, not speed them up.
You either need a larger crank pulley, or smaller water pump and alternator pulleys.
