Pics of My Build
Don't know what or plans are, but I would consider getting another belt on that water pump pulley. With that little contact area I am sure it will slip in the upper rpm range.
Looks good though!

engine made 608rwhp last fall, no slipping on the water pump pulley, appreciate your concern though. The amount of engine power would have no affect on the slipping of this belt though, I dont even understand where the concern is comming from in this.
I was not referring to the amount of power the motor is making, that is irrelevant here.
As the rpm's increase, the resistance that the water pump impeller is up against increases, increasing the chances of slippage.
But you say it worked, go for it!

Even with the stock redline I would be worried about it.

That is made by pineapple racing I believe.

interesting, I thought about 90% of the people on this forum have the same setup as I do, but I can see that this setup would work well. I originaly did buy and idler pulley, and never put it to use, have not had an issue thus far.
you know, I got the seats off of ebay like 3 years ago and had them in my supra prior to getting the 7. I am not even sure what brand they are anymore, but I absolutly love them and they were a great price, I have fabbed up different brackets to mount them in each of my cars. They only weigh 12 pounds each with the brackets on. went with 1/4 inch thick aluminum brackets.




Im very jealous...
