i figured if we put the PS right above the ac, we could switch to a 4 rib belt and not hurt anything. we can run the ps and ac together, and reconfigure the AC tensioner to PUSH rather than pull, we can get more belt contact on the PS pump pulley and eliminate potential slippage. however, AC pulley belt contact will be reduced slightly. im not sure how much resistance the AC pully applies to the belt. but in reality, the reduction in belt contact area wont be any less than on the JZ motors.
its just a wild idea. but i think im going to try it on my next 7M's and see if itll work out. i think the PS pump would take up less space than an alternator... so it may give me more room under the TB and whatnot.
btw, you DONT technically have to run your IC pipe where your battery sits. you can run it right down where the AC fans run, like a JZ setup, then go out to the side and pull a 180* to enter the fmic... like just about every other aftermarket JZ cold pipe out there
