sounds like a great idea i would look into buying if i was building a new car but already invested my money in rb pulleys, but a serpentine does grip better

 

could you integrate lighter wieght pulleys into the sytem also what are the other benefits of the serpentine setup

 

ok im not getting this i have removed my rats nest so i dont have my water pump anymore and i got the pinaple raceing belt (yahoo belt) so what does this pack your trying to sell do lol probly missing something simple.

 

Wow, how's your car running without the water pump anyway? Bet it's a little hot heh j/k

You mean air pump right, I hope.

 

I was woundering the same thing. LOL

 

I need 10 people that want this kit to make it worth wile..
I know that there are about 4 of you allready...

Definately interested Dan, my damn belts slips all the time....

 

Would this just require a longer belt and the use of the old pullies, or will new pullies be supplied for this feature? Price difference?
I'm interested in this kit, though I would just need the basic 3 pullies, not the PW or AC.

 

This Kit would replace the crank water pump and ALT V-belt pullies and you would put the A\C and P\S pullies back on as orginial...

Is it similar to this one on eBay?

+1 for interest. Well would I count, because I do have a S4 engine though?

 

I would be interested in such a kit. Especially since the ac/ps option would still be available as desired.

 

That is Dan's kit. That one's just for the 2nd gens. The water pump pulley is not interchangeable between series.

 

I like it, I just wish I didnt have to run a different belt for the A/C. Just have it run all on one belt ya know.

 

You can live far longer without A/C, should the belt break, than the engine can without the water pump. For that reason alone, I would prefer the A/C be run from a different belt than the water pump. Not to mention, the headache and hassle of trying to locate an A/C compressor that will fit the car, and use a serpentine belt.

 

why pay $200 to replace three $10 belts? What is the advantage of the serpintine belt retrofit?

 

i'm down, does the $200 include the belts?

Will this work with no a/c, no P/S or with no A/C but with P/S, diferent setups for different cars.

 

If you don't want a/c or p/s, you don't bolt on the pulley that runs those that attaches to the main pulley. If you want only a/c, you run only that belt. If you want on p/s, you run only that belt. There is no combination this won't do except for the airpump. That's the only thing it won't run.

 

Sorry for jumping into someone elses thread, but I wanted to comment on it in regards to our alternator relocation product. OEM serpentine setups almost always have a tentioner/dampener because the thin belts are prone to harmonic vibration. While it might not be an issue with the alternator in the stock location, it may be problematic with a relocated alternator unless an idler is added. One of our 1st gen customers with a serpentine setup reported a mild harmonic at idle that went away off-idle and above, but I cannot account for the effects of that vibration over a long period with our product. And now, back to your regularly scheduled programming...

 

Thanks Blake I did not know that and will look into it.. Would you want one of these kits too???

Dan

 

$200 to reduce belt slippage and too look cool?

Also the one belt to water pump reduces redundancy.

Everyone has their own opinion.

BTW, Dan Atkins , that rebuilt I bought from you 2 years ago.....it is still going. (just hope I didn't jinx it by saying that)

 

I would be willing to spend some lunch money on your set up. I was thinking about trying to make the set up for a 13B work on a 12A but had no time to install it or fabricate a new water pump pulley.

 

ok the water pump pulley is now in the works and I should have this kit ready for shipment by Christmas of this year..

I will post this kit when it is ready to ship.. in the mean time if you have any more Questions please post up...
