MoNkEyT88 Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 I just shredded a belt, as I would told it would. Basically the serpentine system currently on my LQ9 leaves a lot to be desired. The water pump pulley is visibly shaky. When I picked it up I asked about it, and he said I would need LS1 accessories, and water pump. But, I'm confused, as it looks like this water pump and an LS1 water pump are the same thing? There is also a fabricated alternator bracket, and I think that may be out of alignment causing problems, but I'd like to get a solid setup so I don't have to worry about this issue. What kind of a setup is needed to run the alternator and water pump, I do not want power steering or AC. I'm not sure why this idler is mounted like this, it has a 1/4" steel plate/spacer attached to it, I really don't know whats going on here..

80LS1T Posted October 31, 2008 Share Posted October 31, 2008 Off topic but since when do you have an LQ9 powered Z?! Maybe I missed something? LOL Guy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rags Posted October 31, 2008 Share Posted October 31, 2008 Are you wanting to move the alt and the idler? My LS1 has the alt low on the pass side. If you need one, I have an extra waterpump but I don't know what that will buy you. Do you know if your setup is factory based? Joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators BRAAP Posted October 8, 2009 Administrators Share Posted October 8, 2009 (edited) There are tree different OE belt depths, or belt offsets for the LSx accy drives, (GM refers to it as FEAD, Front Engine Accessory Drive). Truck was the furthest away from the engine. F-body and GTO are half-a-belt width in from that, and the Vette is an entire belt width in from that, (see pic of the crank dampers for the visual). In short, you need to keep all of your pulleys and idlers matching including the crank damper, i.e. Vette damper with the Vette Alt and P/S bracketry and A/C bracketry and idlers, etc. This link covers the accy drive differences much more in depth, as well as oil pans, water pumps, etc; http://www.nookandtranny.com/Info_LSx.html Hope that helps, Paul Edited October 8, 2009 by BRAAP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MoNkEyT88 Posted October 10, 2009 Author Share Posted October 10, 2009 Great info. I'd been planning on putting an electric water pump on to simplify the situation, and then I'd only have to run a belt to the alternator. I'll contact you "benitoz" when I figure something out. Great info Braap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
