Gauging interest in complete 8 rib conversion for ecotec3 l86 l83 engi

[Denali62]

I have everything figured out but the water pump pulley so I am having a run custom made. Ten minimum but if there is a need for more I will increase the quantity accordingly.!l this is using pulley pn 38091 for the alternator and innovators west 15% od 8 rib damper. Also iw has the tensioners and idlers Available as well. Will be laying cash down tomorrow for the first ten pulleys

I am unsure if the alternator pulley they offer will line up using the Camaro spacer they sell so that's why the nylon alternator pulley but I am going to test fit both and report

sorry but what in the hell are you talking about?

I believe that he's talking about a supercharger belt. The bigger belts reduce slip, but you can't run them unless you adapt some other accessories to the bigger belt size.

Jared, I will probably be interested since I haven't been able to find a conversion kit.

 

Feel free to PM me the details. Might have a friend interested in one too.

Great! I am waiting on my spare water pump to get here so that I can box it up with the others and sent to be used to spec out the 8 rib pulleys. I am only getting the two pulleys that and aren't available made(alternator and water pump) by innovators west. The others we will source from there. I'll get in touch when it is close to realization. Thanks

Sounds good Jared, thanks for doing this! Is the water pump pulley press fit or something? Don't see the standard 4 bolts that they used to use on the GM pumps.

[Denali62]

No problem! Have you been in contact with iw regarding this at all? They have been stringing me along somewhat pushing the dates back which made me get off my butt and do something. I just don't understand why they have an 8 rib balancer but not really in a hurry to complete a kit

[Denali62]

And yes it is a press fit

[Denali62]

Well just to give an update I have the first complete  set of 8 rib pulleys coming from innovators West.  Plus three more iw pulleys to replace the 6 rib idlers on my whipples idler bracket.  Also got a 3.00 inch griptec’d pulley from weapon x.  Will post pics of the install and my review as soon as I can get them installed.  Thanks for everyone’s support!

Also for informations sake the blower pulley I will be attempting to fit is for a lt4 ctsv with the whipple kit.  May be dead on but could require some adaptation.

[Denali62]

And here it is!!!! Beautiful

No I’m actually waiting on my heads to be gone through and set up I had something in my cam drive let go bent 5 intake valves.  I’m doing a fresh valvetrain and vvt delete with Cloyes extreme race ls3 set with z chain.  I will take the valvetrain I had in and inspect every part very thoroughly and discard any unviable parts.  The rest will get used in my other (spare) engine (dry sleeved 454)

I need to get back on this but winter is here and it's made me lazy.
