Have you figured out what to do with the prerad / bumper, etc.?

not yet need to measure up and buy the right size was not that concerned as its not a requirement for getting the engine running 🙂

Almost there... 1540 might be ok, 1546 for sure is too long and makes it scream like a pig 🙂

but then i used 25mm spacers on the a/c pump so may even be shorter than 1540 the next size down the shop stocks is 1515 so will have to order it in 🙂

i hope this one works for awhile it only needs to go to 14psi 🙂

busy day tomorrow once the ecu is back and the new bits come i have been messing about the last few days so need to pull my finger out

Carl, you could also consider this setup pulley wise. More belt for the alternator. Requires a smaller pulley though

i had considered this the 1st time round i have many different drawings on a bit of paper me and dad sat down and looked at the options dad's an engineer but aint got the foggiest idea what im doing lol
the thing to do now would me put a step in the cs bracket to move the pulley closer to the block

the new pulley and 2bar map sensor came with the remapped ecu about 30mins ago 🙂

i will now go get a belt 1540 long just to see if it fits then continue with the loom extensions

Matt

So can you basically pick which belt set up you want to use then?

Up until a certain point yes. There is the original cobalt ss setup and the setup without a/c (eg vx220), and with a/c (like carl's and mine) which uses the bracket from cms. Different pulley sizes then allow for different setups with different lengths of belts. They all seem to work fine...

like z22se fan said you can use 4-5 different ways depending on the stuff your running belts come in all different lengths so just get the one close 🙂
