buscher alt relocation kit

[1stGenRocks]

does anybody have any pics of this setup? i couldnt find any pics on there site the last time i checked. im kind of hoping that i can fab something up since there kit costs way too much.

the kit is dirt cheap for the amount of engineering that went into the piece. if you want to make your own, your best bet is to pull your ac conpressor and hold your alt there and just make one. good luck with that.

My ac is long gone. I'm not saying that the kit isnt worth it its just i havent seen ANY pics of it. Even their site doesnt have pics. this kinda makes me think its not that complicated of a piece and they're afraid of people copying it. I want to know how it mounts it, what they do with the wiring, whether it still uses a stock size belt, etc.... before i shell out money for their kit.

If nobody has pics or details then i might as well just make my own because i can put a lot of time into it before ive spent $180. Especially since i can use my spare alternator and mock it up without even taking the car off the road.

Seems like a saw a picture not to long ago of this kit installed and there was pretty much nothing to it. Might have been on sheps car but I am not sure. I will look around and post it up here if I find it.

Do a search for user peregrine. He has a tread in the hangout titled My new toy and he has a pic of the kit on his block.

so this means it is very possible to mount the evo 8 turbo with manifold on our engines sense we can make the room for it now?

Sure, if you know how to make a downpipe.

how hard can it be, a mandrel bent 3" 90* and more straight pipe. denfinately worth the headache because you can find new evo turbos and manifolds with o2 housings on ebay all the time. they are almost like the evo3 16g only a little more efficient. plus the turbo has a dual wastegate and a twinscroll entry along with the pretty big exhaust manifold for less backpressure and more flow. i will look into it for the hell of it.
later

for the effort/savings its a million x better to just buy something that works.
