How does the 2.2 belt tensioner sit in our engine bays? Does it bolt in the same place as the old tensioner?

The tensioner on the supercharger bracket is different. The new tensioner sits just above the crank pulley. When in place the tensioner pulley is almost touching the crank pulley. The bolt goes through the wheel well hole. Like this.

Yeah I got a picture for that too. Sorry for the mess it was raining the day I took this pic.

Ah okay thank you so much, we couldn't figure out today how it would bolt in, I'm actually surprised there's a bolt hole there. So we'll just have to take the passenger side tire off and the motor mount and we'll have access to it? That'll be fun :P

oh yeah, when you are dealing with our serpentine belts every time you want to change it you have to pull the engine mount, tire and get a pry bar and a 3/8" breaker bar in there, a wrench wont fit. The breaker bar is put in place with the pry bar pushing the engine over and the breaker bar slides down in the tight area then is lifted up to get tension off the belt or to allow the belt to slip onto the alternator pulley. Its a one man job though, I can do it now in 5 minutes.

Becareful to not drop the bolt inside the frame.........I did and had to go to the store to buy a telescoping magnet to fish it out..........I was so .......that and and getting the oil pan off was the worst part of the swap.

The one I got does not have it. So I'm gonna send it back to zzp. I think they gave me the one for lnf instead.

Not a surprise, they forgot to send me an alternator and a new radiator hose when i bought my kit. They did send the alternator right away but still sucks putting a swap on hold when its your dd. Never did get that hose though

I would just like to point this out. posted on March 6th. told you so

They are good at shipping stuff quick. Unlike ottp.

Yes they are. Zzp is great, if they weren't around I probably wouldn't have kept my car this long and have done a turbo swap. They aren't perfect and I loathe them on Black Friday but them and Powell race shop were the best thing to happen to this platform.

silly kids and your hahn intake manifolds.

Sorry about the google crack, I didnt know you were having customer support issues with ZZP, doesn't surprise me. Great parts, don't answer the phone.

I made a video of the intake back then, it wasnt like this. This is since my turbo rebuild. Popped that sucker like a balloon. I have got to get back on the dyno since I got all my hiccups out of the way on my build.

Bought my 80lb injectors, LC-1 wideband controller, rotated mounts, and some other stuff. Perfect customer service everytime. Had one hiccup that they took care of. OTTP has been good to me. ZZP on the other hand wont return calls or emails and I have only bought one thing from them because their valve springs were listed on ebay with titanium retainers for cheap. Never bought anything from them since. Ebay zzp was good, by email/phone sucks.

Yup, everyone of them are a piece.

Oh God lol, so to actually get the belt on this first time I'll have to do all of this? What if I have my buddy push on it from under the car? :P And is there a certain way or angle that it has to sit? Or will it position itself correctly as I tighten the bolt?

mahfouzman

And I'm curious...my adapter plate moved my throttle body a good amount to the left so the plug that goes into it will no longer reach, my question is, do I need it? Is it for the throttle position sensor or the bypass on the supercharger? It's the one on the right, the sensor on the left came off the supercharger itself so I know I won't need it.

That plugs into your throttle body. You need that lol

Actually c130 you can get the belt from the bottom of the car. Using a specific tool you can put in the grove of the tensioner and push up releasing the belt. Thus not having to remove the engine mount.

Tapping the oil pan and getting it off was the most fun to me for some reason . I loved every minute of this swap so far.

did he just ask if he needs the tb harness? lol

c130aviator

you have to get a tool to go from the bottom. Its a flat steel bar with the 3/8 wrench type square welded to it. Jack the car up and you can get at it.

what manifold you running, you have to adjust things to get that plug to reach, the hahn manifold wasnt a problem.

I had the tool but returned it. When I had the tool I couldnt get it to the pulley because of my charge piping, so I just pull the mount, it goes fast actually.

I have a ton of pictures under my turbo duck thread, pry bar popped the pan right off. Its not hard at all, then tapped it, cleaned it, reinstalled it. I have loved this swap as well.

Lol I kinda did, mainly because I was hoping that by some chance I wouldn't need it, because now I have no idea how I'm going to extend it. It there some kind of plug and play extension? And I'm dreading the day when we take out the oil pan lol, probably monday, even though I wish I didn't :P

I'm running the adapter plate on the stock manifold, the area where the harness plugs in is shifted about a foot to the left of where it once was, maybe a bit less, regardless the harness will no longer reach :P

yes but give the guy a break, this forum loves to jump on the negative and start a page of trolling before the question gets answered, I am guilty of it sometimes as well. I know.
