CBR 8.65 and Aster Bracket users step in . Im going to get an aster bracket from my sdce . Reason being is im trying to make a bunch of power and boost with the stock heads and cam . So i got a 3.0 pulley and it belt slips now . Since i only rev to 6k i need a real small pulley
So with the aster im going to get the 8.65 crank pulley and either a 3.6 with will give me the same rpm or a 3.8 since its a known belt length .
Id like to do the 3.6 but no one has come forward with the length i would need.
Hows the ls2 water pump clearance with the 8.65 crank pulley?
Any thing i should know before going to the aster ??

i already have btr 660 springs and aftermarket pushrods , the car made 572 574 and then 572 then after that at some point i started getting belt slip . 572 is good for me . But if i had a cam the 3.4 would be fine since i would rev to 6500 . Other than that its been fine but i tried to go to small on a belt that had slipped before . So many if i put a new belt on with the coated 3.0 it would be good but im not going to risk it . I want to push this engine but only rev to 6k .

As said above get a cam in that thing. Save your $$$ on the ASTER for now but do the LS2 water pump since the coolant has to be drained and water pump has to come off for a cam. Go back to the 3.4" blower pulley and spin the motor to 6,500. Then if you still get slip the ASTER can go on with out coolant mess again. A mild blower spec cam should be good for 50+ hp vs stock cam on a blower car. Get ready to feed it more fuel too.

I don't know where you guys come up with this ****. I ran the SDCE set up with an LS2 WP W the big crank pulley, and had no issues! I did get the Aster bracket, I was one of the first ones with it. It did work fine, I can't tell you 100% if it was any better than the SDCE set up. Its definitely engineered way better. The tensioner is a little weaker than the one SDCE uses. But good luck with your project.

You just need a late thermostat, you don't need to replace the housing. Bob
