So yeah, paid a guy to finish the exhaust on my 86 and brought it home...May i say what a friking great upgrade from the 4ac. I haven't gone past 5500rpm yet, but the difference is notable.

I'll be posting some pics up along w. a write up and what not...but i DID LOOSE MY p/s belt AND tensioner pulley in the highway!! ~ 3000rpm ride. It was fine at first, the p/s was very soft and smooth, but i lost the damm pulley and the belt so now its hard till it gets fixed.
tips/comments VERY MUCH APPRECIATED

Other than that, i can't say more till some pics are posted...the car's very dirty and i got some scary stares when i drove in Boca raton from all the rich H2, AMG and jag rich old ladies.

peace.

Here's what the p/s looked like:

some magic huh...many people warned me too

what's a feasable solution?

the tensioner is on the wrong side of the belt.

well duh, its the only way to make that 20v powersteering work without having to go thru the 20v A/C compressor. so i reverted the direction of the tensioner pulley. The reason i lost the belt is because the pulley came out...very unexpectedly and unexplicably because i still have the screw and the screwable base where the pulley mounted to.

tips/comments?

sorry, but i don't see why you can't run the belt on the correct side of the tensioner...

buy a shorter belt, run it the correct way..... otherwise that belt will walk

if some of you remember, the reason i have the belt running like it did is because i removed the A/C so without it, the tensioner pulley is useless...so fixed it

not really...but in any case, i dont even have a pulley now, that went with the belt, i do have the assembly for the pulley that looks like

the pulley goes over the "=" and the ---- is the threaded bolt where the nut that holds the pulley.

Is it possible to fit a belt directly from the crank to the p/s. I mean, some...lots of...heat ~ stretch a bit and slide it in?

^^edit: bump for that q^^

btw, sr5 gas lines are holding up no prob. was thinking of making wider lines. Keep the thoughts coming, i'm a 18yr-old newb
