Ron R. FFI long runner style and your alternator...

[Reign_Maker]

Can someone post a pic of their alternator installed with a Ron R ffi long runner style? I was looking at it the other day when putting it together, and I cant seem to figure out how to tighten the tension for the belt... Also, does the stock belt work, or will I need a different size?

Thanks,
Jake

DB, thanks, Im hopin maybe you have a shot of it out of the car? Also, do you have a hi res shot you can email me?

Ken, thanks for the info, I guess I COULD HAVE looked there, hehehee...

 

[tookwik4u89]

I was looking for that not too long ago so I knew right where it was

Any out of car motor pics?

Hmm even mods forget to search. Mental note to self " save this for future ammo"

 

[Reign_Maker]

I employ you guys to search for me... I have WAAAAAAAAAAAAAY to much to do...

Well speaking of the FFIM . When you install it has anyone just dropped the Alt. into the A/C compressor's old location I have removed mine and would like to put my Alt. down there . I think it would look much cleaner , also if I did locate it there could I use the factory a/c belt ?

 

[gixxer750]

you could use ron's bracket for the short runner style to put your alternator where the ac comp goes

 

[Reign_Maker]

Gixxer, thats a good idea... I might ask him about that... Because Im not using AC...

 

[tookwik4u89]

You cant use the factory a/c belt, but it will look clean, and you can also lose the a/c idler on the timing cover, for even more CLEAN action.

 

[dbsupra90]

yep mine is where the a/c used to be.
another sean bracket

You know I painted that thing and made it look all nice and shit, and then when I was putting my motor back together, I realized I didnt even need that thing anymore... hahaha

Db: that thing looks mammoth! But it does the job... Powder coat it, it'll look sweet!

LOL....sell it!

On a side note Jake.....you'll have to grind those timing cover bolts that held it on down about 1/4-3/8" because they bottom out. And I have bins of old toyota bolts and couldn't find any the right size, so I took the old ones to the grinder.

 

[Reign_Maker]

You know, I think I actually put the bolts in already, not the same ones, but I think I found ones that fit... Damn I cant remember now, I'll have to look when I get home...

yeah its pretty serious. that one was for someone else actually, mine is a little different.

 

[mattsplat72]

Well thanks guys . Its good to know that I am on the right track.

I had to use a crow bar to bring the bottom of the alternator up. If it helps I didn't put the shim back on the ac bracket and the alternator tensioner will stay on after the alternator bolt is screwed back in.

Of I used the Dayco from advance auto.
