Upgrading an S281SC
You may need a shorter belt as it has a smaller pulley on the p51 tensioner.
There is a huge diffence in the Tensioners as you can see here-->



Thanks for the pics! You can definitley see the difference. I am going to look into the Rosuh piece if I can find the thing. Then I will have to figure out what size belt I am going to need to run.
I know you may find them cheaper from someone else, but i went through JDM for the P51 Tensioner because they knew exactly which belt would fit, now I have the part# and went and bought an extra belt just in case.
When I purchased mine JDM was the only place to get them. If I recall correctly, I ordered it all at the same time (3.2 pulley, tensioner, belt etc..) Not sure if Jim made any corrections for the tensioner size or not..
A lot of incorrect information in this thread...
1st, a throttle body is a waste for your car right now
2nd, you are crazy to be running a 3.2 pulley without a GT500 system, and you need 60# with a 3.2" (I understand a lot of people run the 3.2 with the 39# injectors, but give JDM or any other saleen tuner a call and ask them, they will tell you the same thing I am.)
3rd, with those mods, your 3.2" pulley, and cams, say goodbye to your motor
4th, the "recalibration" needed for the throttle body means you WILL NEED A RETUNE

I've found it all over the net for $150. I will however give JDM a call towards the end of the week, and see if they can send me a belt out with the P51 tensioner so that I know I have the right size. Thanks for the tip guys.
Also, out of curiosity, has anyone ever had a forged bottom end installed and what was the cost?

EDIT: By the way, I DO have 39lb injectors now, but wanted to go to 60s when I started installing everything.
Incorrect. It does not reffer to tuning, but to calibration. You have to adjust the Voltage on the TPS for that TB. You have to measure the voltage of your existing TB TPS and record it, then when you put the new TB on and you need to adjust the TPS to match the Voltage to the new TB. You'd need a voltimeter for that.
Hope that clarifies.
