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.

This does not appear to be a 13Brew tt as you said. They all have pulley
mag sensors for the ignition timing, not the distributor shown. That
cover is not from a 93+ engine, it is from the earlier series as you
said. The FD series used a serpentine belt but not the FC series (pre
1992)-they used V belts.
How are you going to connect the turbo wastegate pipe to the
exhaust-bend it back to the rear? I am faced with same problem.....?
