From my last conversation with Richard:
- Engine cover will not fit.
- he's putting in a new intake so you'll lose the Revi but not sure if the Air Duct will be able to reach the new intake.

About that RB intake duct...it works with the stock intake as well....do you (Richard) know yet where your intake will be getting its air supply? I'm having a hard time picturing it, from the pictures recently posted it looks like it would work (I realize that the intake will be different).

Not including the underdrive is like taking 5 steps forward and 1 step back.
If nothing else but to fight water pump cavitation at high rpms.

There are other pulley sets out there that underdrive the water pump and alternator by replacing their pulley out. Then the main engine pulley would remain stock. The problem then would be the belt supplied would be too long and you would need to source one of the proper length.

Lose the underdrive pulleys guys with this setup guys--its that simple. You may also want to invest in a better water pump(there WILL be one available) while you are at it, change out the clutch/throwout bearing(mine has 40K on it now), mop mod-both volumne and pick up(unless you want to continue to run pre mix), do better grounding for the coil packs, BE SURE your fuel pump is ok(especially you track dogs) and get a high flow cat.
RP i was wondering does your strut bar have a master cylinder brace on it?
DO you need a SE beta tester/abuser damn fool to present to this region? Not asking for a freebie.
The Renasis is looking better soon.

Officially RP said "NO PULLEYS"... no pulleys means no pulleys.
The only thing that may work are some that are like what alneilsen was talking about... ones that do not touch the main crank pulley. And this is a MAYBE... asis no warranty, don't call RP asking for help, etc.
Really. Just dump the freaking pulleys people.
