ya it was like 3/4 of a inch above the bottom of the waterpump.. i pushed as hard as i could on it and i could not get it on and i had the auto tensioner maxed out

Unreal

Sounds like it should fit. If you can get 1-2 ribs on the crank pulley, then walk it on by bumping the motor. Don't put it all the way on the crank pulley, just enough to hold it down there. If belt goes on easy, it is too long. You may need to get a second person to hold the tensioner open as you work it with 2 hands.

I agree.. loosen alternator to get some extra room and be prepared to want to throw something through the windshield, I bet it'll fit

UmX

make sure i dont throw anything tomorrow lol

schpenxel

Haha yeah hopefully not!

Also, it's cold as f up here

I'm ready to go back south!

UmX

i hear ya.. gonna be 70 friday lol

schpenxel

On my way out lol

UmX

didnt think the alt moved that much loosened

schpenxel

Just top bolt out will get you 1/8" maybe? Taking both out gets quite a bit but then you have to get them back in which can be a PITA. I've had to pull both bolts on new belts before

We can screw around with it tomorrow

UmX

may go pick up some kerosen to heat the garage lol

Pictures of bloody knuckles and empty beer cans from today?

UmX

I dont drink so lol.. belts in the front seat of the truck. Gonna go home take a nap then fight with it lol

UmX

well we looked at it and agreed that next size was not going on.. Wish someone had a belt in the 2300mm area.. one now is 2308 and the other one is 2295mm

UmX

well made it thru the dyno with out belt slip.. butttt ran out of pump lol, phil had to set a rev limit at 5900rpm

so what dual or triple pump set up should i do ? i also want to be able to use e85 as well at some point.. so a e85 is needed

ECS stage 1 or 2 kit depending on end power level.

Or full out fore triple 320 setup.

UmX

900 wheel or so

i dont want to do any more inline pumps.. i rather do tank pumps.. and even past 800 u would have to run a bap on that

and why the fore set up its like $2500--

when i can drop the tank and add in 2 walbro 485s? just trying to understand i guess.

Tech

You're basically at the limit of the Stage 1 ECS E85 system. You could either do the Stage 2 or possibly upgrade the in-tank pump.


EDIT: Replied as you were replying. If you don't want externals (which most people seem to favor here), Fore is the FOTM.

UmX

i dont mind changing the in tank pumps. couldnt i just add in 2 of those 485s for now.. that will get me 900. then over next winter. upgrade all the fuel lines for e85 and flex set up?

Tech

I just made a post asking similar questions and the folks here said they'd rather have a root canal than go into the tanks. I don't have any experience getting in C6 tanks, so if you decide to go that route, I'd be interested to hear your opinion afterwards.
