I wonder, if you had to bend down the steam pipe crossover with the adapters raising the blower, what would happen without the adapters in place.......?
Because I think I'm about to run into an issue haha

On a nbs with out the adapters would the steam vent worse. Mine is a nnbs and the steam vent exits on the driver side. Not in the way at all.

I think it can be done with a pulley puller and a press. Or even just a press. Remove your snout to use in the press.

I work on helicopter gearboxes and have a press in my overhaul shop. Mine has been swapped out when I'm "working".

Stock lsa map worked flawlessly. You need to find a different tuner. Only thing he need to do was change the map offsets. Very simple.

which belt did you use? i will basically be running the same setup with the 2.5 pulley. also do you have any pics of your belt routing?

Your belt is going to be different based on where/how you move your alt and power steering pump to.

I used a harmonic balancer puller and an 11mm socket, worked great!
