Steeda Belt Tensioner

[eng943]

Has anyone tried the Steeda belt tensioner? It's half the cost of a Thumper, so if it's proven I'd prefer to save some $$.

Screw the money, get Thump_rrr's.

Support the board and get a superior tensioner at the same time with a Thump_rrr unit!!!

I don't have it but haven't seen any issues with it. Also, take a look at the Roush P51 tensioner.

You do realize that Steeda is a supporting vendor here as well, right?


As for your choice of tensioners, get the one that best suits your needs. Are you throwing high boost at the car? Speed shifting at high RPMs? Do you have a need for a new tensioner?

then it's a win win win situation!

A link would be helpful. At least easier for us lazy people to look at.

I would actually recomend BBRs. Its pretty much a KB tensioner i believe. but im willing to bet Johnny or Cris would work out a cheaper deal for you

I have the Steeda tensioner. I wasn't seeing any issues with the stock one, but installed this unit pre-emptively because I'm running 10 psi now and will be running probably 15 or 16 by the end of the summer.

Nice piece. My only issue was that I had to grind down the corner of the billet reinformcement piece because it was hitting my aftercooler piping.

Or you can also go with the Roush P51 piece.
I had the chance to try it out for a few wks
before the current tear down,its very stout
and under 200 bucks.

I have it on my car with a Saleen SC, no problems or issues and it does look nice (I opted for the billet pulley).

I have one on my car with a Saleen SC and have had no belt issues.
