ATI Idler Fix
ATI Idler Fix It seams that everybodys ATI idlers have worn out. I can make them out of heat treated steel so they will never wear out again. I have already sold a batch of 10 to people on LS1tech.com.
Im looking for more people that want them. I will make another batch up if there is intrest. the price is 48 shipped (ATI wants 90 for an aluminum one that dosent even last a year). These parts are top quality CNC machiened out of 4140 HT.
send orders to: Camarogod98@hotmail.com

Re: ATI Idler Fix Would you consider sending them COD, i would pay the COD fee, which is only 7 bucks, so it would total 55 bucks, i live here in Michigan, and am interested in one.

Re: ATI Idler Fix Really nice pictures JAS. I will get on the 8 rib shortly.
thanks for the business.
ATI is really stupid to make idlers out of aluminum because they wear out really fast plus aluminum is like 4 times the price of steel.

Re: ATI Idler Fix LS1bird
I would recommend that you get a steel idler because the aluminum ones wear out in a hurry. Im currently sold out but i can put your name on a list so you can get one when i make more.
I dont think anyone has worn there bearings out yet. I think the ATI kit has only been out a year so nobody has found out yet. Bearings are cheap anyways its just the inconvinence of taking the blower off to change them.

Re: ATI Idler Fix I just got mine today, Excellent Quality. I will be installing mine tomorrow.
IF you have an aluminum idler get one of these, you won't be sorry.

Re: ATI Idler Fix Is the idler pulley the same on the C5 in size and everything?
If so, can you add me to the list?
Here is a C5 thread about C5 idler pulley bearings failing and recc'd replacement bearings. Anyone want to comment?

Re: ATI Idler Fix camarogod- Really nice work man. Question, are the aluminum idlers wearing out so fast due to having to keep an extremely tight belt for the correct boost, or just what? I have read all the threads i could about the belts slipping over 6+/- psi and it would make sense that the idlers are going to hell from those running higher boost cranking the belts. I'm interested in this cuz I am going to be joining the FI world here this spring (either LS1M single turbo or P/D1SC) and if I go SC dont want to replace the idler and still have a slipping belt. Feed back?
TIA, Charlie.
TIA, Charlie.
Re: ATI Idler Fix I think the idlers are wearing out so fast because of the rotating speeds involved and alot of people run alot of belt tension so they dont slip. I dont know why ATI would make them out of aluminum. Aluminum is 5 times more expensive than steel!
