What alternator bracket setup will work with a race water pump with no pulley provision with a manifold turbo setup?

Nobody is running a race water pump?

Here's how I did mine with my Procharger set up, Now I have truck manifolds for turbo set up but I welded on v-bands so it clears alt still in stock location.

You can use a Meziere pump like this one http://www.meziere.com/ps-1138-1106-wp319b.aspx with our bracket. http://vtsql.gkvbf.servertrust.com/C...it-p/cbr01.htm

I have a RACE water pump, not a street pump with the provisions fora belt. My pump looks just like the other guy posted with no place for a belt.

Ok.
If you are interested in one send us your water pump and I will have Chris fab a bracket
setup to suit your needs

Will the BMR bracket clear a manifold setup? Thats the problem I have now with the alternator on a stock bracket, the alternator wont clear unless you cut off the flanges. I need a bracket to move the alternator to the top of the driver side head.


I just need a alternator bracket that works with a manifold turbo setup where it runs straight off the crank since my water pump doesnt have a pulley or belt provision it. The water pump is not the problem, the manifold flange hits the alternator in the stock location. If your wanting my water pump I dont think you are understanding what I am looking for.

I may have to go that route if no one sells a bracket like I need.

I would deff go my route, personally I think a high mount alt. looks ugly as ****. Cutting and welding v-bands to the manifolds is super easy and will make everything easier in the long run. If your gonna fab your own kit then fabbing the manifolds is no problem

How did you weld on your v-bands? Did you pre-heat the manifold and then tig on the v band? I have a mig welder but I know someone with a tig who is very good if it needs to be tig welded like I am guessing.

Mine are tig'ed but iv seen a handfull that were mig'ed too with same results. From what a few super techs were saying, the manifolds have a lot of steel to them so they weld just like any other steel. Some people say you have to pre and post heat them but more people, imcluding myself, did not do any of that, just welded them like it was reg. ol' steel and worked just fine! You might want to do it a different way but i dont see a need to.

Heres a link with everything youll ever need to know, lol..

Heres how mine turned out..

I need the pump to ensure that the idler placement is correct. I would have to make a idler bracket that would route the belt away from the water pump, since our alternator relocation puts the alt in front of the cylinder head.

heres mine!



drag pump and bmr bracket.

Just a heads up, I don't know what block u have but the bmr bracket won't work on a iron block. But if u have a ls1 block then disregard this.

The manifold hitting the alternator is the problem, I know you can the BMR setup with a race pump. I have had a similar setup for years until I went to a manifold turbo setup.

Oh, ok gotcha Im on the same page now. Thank you for the offer, I will defiantly keep you in mind if I decide to go that route.

Thanks for all the help. I just have to decide whats the best way to go, weld v bands or just move the alternator. I am leaning towards v bands mainly because I already have 2 mint stock alternators and buying V bands is cheaper than a new alternator and brackets. Plus I agree about the looks.

Oh and I forgot to mention that we offer a Manifold V banding service for $250.
