GTM tension pulley install DIY...
[QUOTE=Sam@GTM]
SAM would you say it's at least equivalent to or better than a Gates which has been touted on this site as the belt to use with Vortech S/C'er..
Thanks

Bando is also the oem belt supplier for honda,toyota,mitsubishi, very good quailty and longevity, by far the best

Got mine installed...need to tighten her up a bit more, but all my squeaks have disappeared. DIdn't quite install EXACTLy like Triji...i think my GTM pulley is a bit further from the 3.12 pulley.


The belt does slightly rub the little cam cover though, but not by much.

Great Job Moog!! Looks Great!!
You might be able to shave a tad off of the cam cover to eliminate that rubbing, I would watch that closely so you dont prematurley shred belts.
How was putting the belt on? Mine was pretty tough to get on, I have only tightened my belt once since install and she is still holding strong!
Great job!

Yup, look at the angle of your belt -vs- the angle of mine with the pulley a bit closer to the jackshaft pulley. This is with the 3.12 pulley. When I put the 2.87 on there will be a tad more space in there.
