Anyone think this is NOT enough contact on the crank pulley? Ignore the skipped idlers, unsure if I'd use both or just one, and/or which one. Really depends on belt lengths available.
EDIT: The other option is this routing BUT less wrap around the water pump pulley.

I'm thinking there's absolutely no way to delete the PS pump pulley with how everything is routed. Either a gutted unit or custom bracket to install an idler is the only option.

Not enough. Just put a dummy pulley on there like we discussed.

You've had the ESP module issues where it cuts out PS. How much different would you expect it to feel from that ? Or are you specifically wanting to know what it feels like on track before you remove the rack all together ?

Ah right. But even if you bypass it, won’t you still be steering against the fluid sitting in the rack? Do you think it will be a fair assessment? I would think that a dead power steering rack would feel heavier than what you’re going for. Are you going to fully convert it to a manual rack, or just run it without the assist? I’m confused sorry.
You should start with unplugging the speed assist.

Already know what that feels like so if the system stays that's what I will do.

Hi Jason, did you get to the bottom of this belt issue with a/c delete?.
Ive done the same thing as i race mine too, twice it has shredded the belt, first time ripping trans pipe from cooler and water hose to tank.... a bit messy. Any input would be great before i start hashing things. Also thinking about remote mounting power steer reservoir to lessen the heat.
cheers
