Vortech Mounting plate
hi..
im looking for just the Mounting plate, for a non-rev vortech setup...
im from Montreal.. and I found a used vortech kit here.. pretty rare in this area..
my mechanic/tuner installed everything nice and good.. and just about reading for tuning with uprev.
but turns out.. the cog belt.. is not centered on the pulley.. and is flush to the edge of the pulley..and actually goes over the teeth by a few mm's.. after its been idling etc.. it favors the edge closest to the plate.
my mechanicc suspects the plate could be bent..?
the car has not been under full load yet for tuning.. but i am and mechanic is concerned.. once its under full boost on dyno..
sofar the idler pulley does not let it slide off under idle.. and reving etc.. however although this may be the case, i am further concerned for belt wear as im sure this results in the belt bending or flexing sorta speak..
my mechanic tried every way.. to get it straight but no success..
so curious to know if anyone has a spare plate.. or any suggestions..?
however ive read a couple of threads.. and people suggest it is normal.. and that idler pulley will never let it run off..? ive looked at dozens of pics, which all vary, from being nicely centered to right at the edge like mine..
thanks
Tony.
