Chrissi, are you trying to use a serpentine belt with a side mounted water
     pump?

     Paul Lamar

Yes, if we can find the right combination of pulleys. Shawn stressed the serpentine belt was safer and I have heard similar for high revving engines

Is the side mounted water pump using a 2nd gen cartridge? I ask because of the direction
of rotation of the side mounted water pump. Ed Klepeis might be able to fix you up.

Paul, we are using a GEN3 engine with what I think is a GEN2 cover to obtain the front mounting tabs, picture attached.

Couple of things. First very nice job on the intake manifold.
That is a 12 A front cover. You can tell by the front motor mount.

You lucky dog you have a HKS TO4 turbo charger manifold.

Good picture of Richard Sohns 2 cycle oil supply for the apex
seal oil metering pump. That looks like a 12A oil metering pump
but I could be wrong. Are there only two oil tubes coming out
of the pump?

Looks like you have a 2nd gen e-shaft pulley. Easiest thing to do
is stick to the V belts and the 2nd gen pump will work in the right
rotation direction. Just reverse the pulley to move the belts away
from the front cover. Redrill the holes if necessary. Plenty of racing miles
on dual V belts with no problems.

BTW the third gen pump shows signs of cost reduction and optimization
for light duty automotive use. I could be wrong as that sheet metal impeller
might work better than it looks.
