it's all billet and polished

The tension is a custom design as well as you can tension the alternator. We may add an idler between the crank and alternator once we get it on my car and see how it is. The PS pump will be moved out a touch as you can see it is tight on the pump now. We want to make sure we have room for a E pump which I have on my own car.

I will update you guy once I have this on my car with no issues.

I can't wait to have my PS back again.

Interesting that you have the adjustment in the alt bracket as well as what looks like a spring tensioner, is that the case or is the top just and idler pulley with a big housing?


never mind, it helps if I read the entire post....


It looks good too bad I already pulled my PS...

Bring an extra setup and we can put it on my car! I have a stock bracket modified to put them in the same position you have them in, but it's not working the best... I have HORRIBLE belt squeal at startup and on quick revs.

That looks really good! My only concern would be is there enough belt on the alternator to keep if from slipping. Looks like you have a similar concern with the mention of another idler pulley.

figured you guys would like it and the reason for a teaser for now

give me a couple weeks after the shoot out as mentioned to test this setup out and determine hose and resevoir options

The idle will most likely be added to make sure we have good belt wrap.

The assembly is not going to be cheap, but as you can see it isn't a cheap looking piece and there is a good amount of time into this.

around the $425 area + you will need to address the lines and resevoir

I will most likely run a billet resevoir and braided lines myself.

425$?. Wish I was not a college student.

most likely yes since it is relatively in the stock location

I do not have any of the stock PS stuff from my car other then the rack + the stock one would be too boring for me .

I will try the stock one though when we test fit this on my car.
