well my car is pretty much stock, just intake and exhaust.my tensioner is coming loose and now needs new. from the dealer its $230 but i was wondering if this one from zzp could work on my stock car? and if it wont work for stock maybe ill just be forced to buy a pulley and i will still make out cheaper do u think i can run a 3.0" pulley (fyi i have diy meth almost finished but prob wont be on till end of month, and prob no injectors till winter). dose anyone else run this tensioner? any problems?


i sent zzp an email on wens.... still didnt get a response!

bump i need to order this stuff

 

tell me about it... these guys don't answer e-mails at all ... i have sent half a dozen regarding my header with no response...

 

you have a pm

 

I am curious about the zzp adjustable tensioner also. https://www.zzperformance.com/cobalt...=447&catid=142 My dealer in canada wants $400 for the original part that is giving an embarrassing rattling noise. I notice that the zzp tensioner does not include the little strut assembley that is on the original. Does anyone know if we need it after upgrading to the zzp? I have already ordered the zzp stage 2 with a smaller belt and a 3.1" pulley, but it has not arrived yet and i need to fix the @#$*& rattle at the same time as my stage 2 install. Any info is appreciated. Here are the pics.

 

Take the bolt out and install it on the new one.

 

yhea the strut part is wat ataches into one of the three holes. i have a 3.0" and my strut is in the middle hole and its been like that for about 5k miles wit no probs.

 

The ZZP unit does not replace the entire factory piece. You still need the shock part. Ours is adjustable and works with stock pulleys down to 2.6"
