I have a question though. I was under the assumption that after GM had so much trouble with the isolators on the 12 -13 models they went to the solid ones in the 14-15 models. If that is right I wonder why they had to fix yours? Am I wrong? Somebody chime in here cause mine is a 15 and I need to know.

I was also told the 14-15 models came with the solid isolator! But not confirmed. So I guess I will find out! Hopefully someone will chime in! Again thanks for the warm welcome!

Hey man glad to hear those recaros are comfortable after a long drive in them and again congrats on the car bud! Share a review with us on how you like the car once you've had it for a couple of weeks.

I sure will. So far 11.5 hours of seat time, I love it! Rain today where I'm at so didn't drive it. But will be washing it up after work, since the sun has made an appearance today! Haha

I actually got on the forum before I took delivery of the car and was searching the for sale ads on here looking for deals and ran across yours. I currently have the corsa cat back, speed engineering headers and roto fab intake in my car with "camaro5" promo code , saving me $135!

THANKS!

Since this post is getting some attention! Can anyone confirm my information is correct on the pulley swap?

I'm pretty much dead set on RF intake, 1 7/8 headers, Corsa cat-back, RF intercooler coolant res, AFCO dual fan HX, 850/1000cc FIC injectors, 160* RST thermostat, JLT 3.0 or mighty mouse catch can, NGK TR7IX plugs, and then tuned by a local shop GPI.

But as far as the pulley swap, I wanted to go the easiest route and just replace crank pulley, I was told ATI harmonic balancer, paired with a 10.0" (28%) Lingenfelter pulley, Gates green 71.5" belt (K080710HD) would require idler relocation bracket, and a 63mm idler pulley, is all this correct? Will ATI harmonic balancer fit a Lingfelter pulley? Is the 63mm idler pulley the correct size I'm looking for? I know for sure the relocation bracket is needed. And is that the correct 71.5" green Gates belt needed?

Lingenfelter put together the best pulley chart I have seen..

That is a good chart! So per that chart, I just need ATI harmonic balancer paired with a 10.0" crank pulley, stock SC pulley, no 50 or 63mm idler pulley needed, just idler bracket relocation and 70.0-70.8 belt, correct?

FasNuf · 02-24-2020, 09:58 PM

I can vouch for that chart. I have a 2.50 Griptec/8.62 Dayco and it still is correct on belt size as indicated on the tensioner marks.
Used the chart twice, both times correct

That's exactly how mine is set up at the moment. I've got the 70.0 belt.

Perfect! Someone with the exact setup! So I can do ATI harmonic balancer, lingfelter 10.0” crank pulley, stock SC pulley, stock idler pulley, idler relocation bracket and 70.0” belt? And I’m good to go? Thanks man! I just wanted confirmation before I ordered.
