Thread: r4 compressor mount

  1. #1

    r4 compressor mount

    time for my factory/cobbled tbi bracket to go bye bye. tired of its ugliness and belt squeak from less-than-perfect alignment. between josh powers and dirto dingo, which bracket would you choose? im leaning toward dingo for belt routing and tensioner location. thoughts?

    im running a novak bracket with the r4 compressor. routes great and looks awesome.

    i left novak out due to price. can it be bought without new compressor? mine is already a new delco unit, i imagine even w/out the novak would still be higher.

    I got a Novak without the compressor, cost about 400 ish. But I sold it due to the belt routing, it can not be ran with a car style intake

    i dont have any pics of the mis-alignment. basically the whole bracket sits about 2mm too far out. another idea i had was to jus have it milled down slightly.

    Thats odd, I used mine from my stock 4.3 engine and it seems like it's lined up just fine, for what they charge for the aftermarket brackets I'd take the time and have it milled or grinded to fit , but i'm a tight wad
