8 rib TVS2300 setup, need some help
OK guys I need some help. Maybe Leftcoast32 will see this and chime in or any of the other 8-rib dealers.
I have been putting together an 8-rib setup for my TVS setup. I bought things as they became available on forums or ebay etc..
Now I’m trying to figure out if I have everything or if I still need spacers etc, and that it will all work together.
I’m hoping some of you have done this and can walk me through it. Some are T-Mac pulleys some are Innovators West (IW).
I want to make sure the pulleys line up as they are supposed to.
I have an IW balancer and I think I got the PS pulley from IW as well. The idlers are T-Mac I think and the alt pulley, I have no idea.
I labeled the pulleys and spacers so I can follow along if you have inputs. I assume they all have to line up with the same geometry since no matter whose pulleys you use they have to line up w/the Balancer and water pump.
What spacer goes on what pulley?
Smooth and ribbed idlers
Smooth and ribbed idlers 2nd view
Smooth and ribbed idlers 3rd view
Smooth and ribbed idlers 4th view
TVS Bracket/HD Tensioner/and the stock black pulley (what goes in its place?)
PS Pulley
Alternator Pulley
BLOWER PULLEY

Im a dealer for the T-Mac products... NEITHER of the ilders should have grooves in them as the flat (non grooved) side of the belt touches both idlers. You need the DRIVERS side T-Mac idler. The shouldered smooth idler goes on the passenger side. The spacer you have labeled '3', do you know which pulley that one goes to? Off the top of my head it doesnt look like it belongs with any of the T-mac pullies. I cannot speak for IW or any other brand.
