Well I guess if you had the alt up high enough you can still have the WP spin in the same direction..

i for one noticed the fact you can easily run basically any alternator with it which can be a HUGE plus.

Yep.. We already thought of that.. We are also considering reverse designing the water pump propeller and different pulley.. We shall see..

okay, im having issues. The belt is hitting the distributor. Its an S5 alt w/ a double sheeve pulley. I called and try to leave a message regarding it but your message system gives the option to disconnect or enter another number.

Anywho, the rear belt hits the distrubtor. The front belt misses it by only a wee bit. I can't see the thing mounting in any other fashion though. And if i didnt have the double sheeve the front belt would even be there to go on.

so i think i might have figured it out. I think the belts are incorrect. Going to swap for the right width tomorrow.

here is the picture with the proper belts. Engine is a 13b S4 with a 12a front cover and distributor.
