I'm trying to keep the belt driven ancillaries down to a minimum on the V8 for a couple of reasons. Firstly, it's a lot easier to wire things up than make brackets. Second, I'm trying to keep the length of the front pulley to a minimum for clearance and also because it'll cost less for pace to make it if it has less belt runs on it (hopefully) it'll be marginally lighter too which can't be a bad thing assuming the engine is balanced for it. The dry sump pump and alternator should be all there is hopefully.
Been looking at possibly using a Mk2 MR2 pump mounted where the HICAS solenoid used to be. Anyone have any experience using this pump or an alternative?
Was thinking if I feed the relay for it off the ECU fuel pump signal it should be ideal. One less thing to disconnect if I have to pull the engine too.
