When modifying cars and pushing their limits beyond what VW/Audi engineers envisioned, new problems can and ultimately will be revealed. One of the unforeseen problems we found during testing on a turbocharged 2.5L-swapped Porsche 944 Stage Rally build was loss of tension during high RPM decel. We found that the accessory belt tensioner would compress under engine decel and high RPM situations, causing the belt to be thrown from the serpentine pulley arrangement.
Our simple, yet ingenious, ECS Belt Tensioner Limiter prevents the accessory belt tensioner from over-compressing, thus maintaining proper belt tensioner under high RPM conditions. Install is simple and straightforward making this a a must-have for any high-revving 2.5L.
PART DESIGN
In-house designed and engineered using FARO ARM laser scanning technology and SolidWorks 3D CAD modeling for precision fitment
Prevents accessory belt tensioner from over-compressing, causing belt failure
Made from 6061-T6 billet aluminum
Black anodized for corrosion protection
Requires no permanent modifications (no drilling or cutting required)
PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT
Our ECS 2.5L Accessory Belt Tensioner Limiter was designed, engineered, tested and quality inspected by our Research and Development team in our Wadsworth, Ohio facility. We strive for the highest level of precision and quality through leading-edge product development technology including FARO laser scanning for reverse engineering and quality inspection, SolidWorks 3D CAD modeling, rapid prototyping utilizing our in-house 3D printer, and rigorous long term product testing.
