The crank pulley is somewhat 12cm and the blower pulley is 10cm.
So this is 1,2:1, much to low in my opinion.
well - it's not the ratio of the diameters that makes the drive ratio, it's the ratio of the circumferences...
but you should know that the hot setup on lots of short (66mm) stroke race engines is the 5-blade US fan - much less HP loss and still pumps plenty of air at high engine speeds. in the US '74-'75 cars, that was used with a crank pulley that produced a 1,8:1 ratio. this was the plan for my 2,2E, before I sold it, and I'll probably use it on the 2,8. spins the alternator faster too, for better power output.
most factory race engines used the 1,3:1 ratio, but a smaller (226mm vs road car 245mm) fan and shroud. again - less HP loss, and less rotational inertia - that's from the 906 through the 956/962 - although of course those last two had water-cooled heads.
Turbos and 1980 and newer 911's used a 1,67:1 ratio (that's pre-993, perhaps pre-964 - I don't follow the newer cars as closely).
So - IMO - first you need to compare the ratio of the circumferences, then you need to mount a CHT, before deciding you need to make too many changes.
