blu240z 11 Posted November 10, 2017 Been having a problem throwing serpentine belt at high rpm with ls6 engine. Was wondering if anyone is using the power steering pump for more belt grip ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JoeK 2 Posted November 11, 2017 How are you routing it now? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
blu240z 11 Posted November 11, 2017 Looked at several ls1 swaps and I have the same routing, would have uploaded a pic but don't know how lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JoeK 2 Posted November 12, 2017 Well, I haven’t figured out how to post website pics from this iPad, but the most common power steering delete belt routing I see has very little belt contact at the crank pulley. And the belt is really close to the alternator bracket bolt. Too close for my comfort, when I set mine up like that anyway. I am planning switch to the Low Alternator Mount from these guys http://lsbrackets.com/category/alternator-only-brackets/ Another solution would be an upper right mounted A/C compressor like the one that JCI sells, but that doesn’t help much if you weren’t planning to run A/C🤡 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
blu240z 11 Posted November 12, 2017 Thanks for the info was gonna buy that but I have the corvette pulleys will call Monday and see if the have something for the vette pulleys Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
blu240z 11 Posted November 12, 2017 Yeah I had the fbody alternator bracket milled down to fit the vette accessories and the belt is close to the mounting bolt. Wasn't planning on running AC. I don't like the belt routing on the crank either doesn't look like it grips to well. May install power steering pulley for extra grip on the belt. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
