You should be ok with the Meziere pump, you won't need the tensioner.
The tensioning is done with the alternator.

I need to know 2 things, are you using the stock F-Body alternator? are you using the stock size crank pulley?

If you are using a under drive pulley I can't help you with a belt size as I don't have a under drive pulley to use to check belt length.

If you are using a stock size crank pulley and F-Body alternator I will find the right size belt for you and ship it with the kit.

Default alt relocation

I picked up my kit from these guys over a month ago. Decided beings I'm going to keep my car and not sell when I'm done dumping money in it, I wanted to upgrade to a nice alt that would last. Everyone was out of stock on the alt I wanted, but I finally found one and got it in the car, and upgraded all my wiring. I also hid a lot of my wiring, new alt exciter wire, etc, really pleased with the results.

I called rob prior to ordering and he was very helpful, and will answer all your questions regardless of how remedial, etc. The brackets came in quick and everything looked straight forward, I even gave rob a call just to double check that I was supposed to pull everything out with the old alt brackets. If I would of just done it, it was self explanatory, but I like to double check things. Left rob a message and got a call back very quick, although these guys don't have a huge corporation they make up for in their customer service. I'm not getting anything for free or discounted, or know these guys personally, I just wanted to give a good shout out when it's needed. Since the economy dropped I feel every place has gone down with service, and rob and chris will do what they can to help you out!

(and I know my engine bay is dirty, car wasn't running at time to clean it all off nice)





I can't wait to see the pictures of the full power steering kits. I hear word they are basically done, I'm just waiting to save up some more funds and purchase the kit. It's nice being able to work on little projects getting the car ready for turbo, it will save some time for when the build starts.

I've put 2 on so far, this is a nice kit! $179 for something that just bolts right on is worth it. Thanks Modular Turbo

Got mine today and installed tonight. Thanks Rob for the fast prompt shipment. I got it just in time to go to a track rental tomorrow and test it out for some low 9's passes.

Just an FYI for anyone that is looking for belt sizes Stock diameter ATI balance EWP and alternator only belt length is 50 1/8" or a Napa part number 25-060495


My only complaint is that the alternator hits my Breather on the oil fill cap

Bumping this for reference. Kwik performance "Hot rod" bracket on the right. The Kwik bracket sets the alternator up way to high.

The bracket was well put together, seems really sturdy. Nice adjustable tensioner. No more belt squeal. So far so good.

I probably didnt need to modify the alternator back plastic cover but chose to for possible belt tightening.

14.0Volts FTW!! Nice work guys, thanks for the quick ship!





First thought was a gas leak at the 90 and spark from alt.
My thoughts also.. Looks extremely tight in that area, with the aftermarket rails. Looks like I'll have to switch to a fitting like in the pic to make mine work.

Looks great! But is there a price minus the belt? i have an slp crank pulley, meziere street pump, no a/c or p/s and a power master alt but i'd rather buy it and have it all set up and ready to go for when i need the belt.

thanks!
