Default Race EWP and Power steering. Possible?
Just like the title says and search for a while and didnt find the info needed. If its not possible how hard is it to turn with no P/S with skinnys in front. Its not a daily driver just drive it to run it and cruise. Then i guess i would be doing the short belt mod.

I think you would have to delete the factory tensioner, and run an adj. alt bracket, but you will have to fab up a separate idler pulley so that the belt will clear the elec. water pump. the idler pulley will need to be where the factory alt. bracket is.


It will be easier to just eliminate the p/s pump and run a setup like mine....It revs fast as ****!!! with just an alt. on there.

My manual rack is not bad to steer with my 205/60-16 in front, your skinnies should be easier to turn.

Zach you said you want your car to run like mine, so get the same setup!!
