If you do not have the OEM fitting that connect to the water pump, I should have a used one laying around. The other one needed I do not have an extra of and is discontinued.

I have the OEM hoses if you need them as well, I went with Hybrid Racing silicone hoses.

 

That’s all right, I ended up buying one of the ones on on eBay. Thanks though

 

I didn't have to swap tensioners on my k24a and used and adjustable aftermarket idler pulley once I went eps. The only annoying part was finding a belt that fit.

 

do i need to swap to a USDM auto tensioner?

no, it is not required. It is a personal choice. The OEM auto tensioner is a good part to have. I went with a aftermarket side mount that has manual tensioner. If it does not work properly which some of them do, I will install my OEM auto tensioner after rebuilding it or buy the Hybrid Racing side mount pulley kit.

Idk if i should get a hybrid racing side mount pulley kit, the ktuned postmount and pulley/tensioner kit, or a stock post mount with a usdm tensioner.

I have already bought the K-tuned post mount & pulley tensioner kit. I like it because of the weight savings and looks. After inspecting it, I noticed the bearing inside of the pulley was not aligned evenly. I fixed that and things are better. My engine is not ready to be turned over and driven, so I cannot attest to the kits performance yet. I have not heard bad things about it but I am sure there is someone that has something bad to say because it is a K-tuned part.

I don't play into that kind of earbreeding without proof or evidence. I am running a few K-tuned parts on my build and I look forward to running them. I will deal with any issues when they arrive and will address them then.

As far as Hybrid Racing, I have only great things to say about their parts. I have many of them on my build. The Hybrid Racing pulley tensioner is a nice kit and I have heard nothing but happy customers relating.

I like the OEM auto tensioner and I think it is the best option for our engines. I am currently cleaning mine and accessing it for a rebuild encase I have any issues with the K-tuned post mount tensioner such as pulley wobble, belt alignment, and the tensioner bolt does not hold properly. again I won't know until I get it running. My old SC build had a simpler tensioner bolt like K-tuned'ss on the post mount. I never had issues with the SC part, it held up fine with the additional stress that the SC'ers cause on the belt. I had to change my belt between 6,000 - 10,000 miles on the street. Road course events I would install a new belt everytime.
