It has a glass fiber core with an embossed aluminum face bonded to it, which looks very similar to the stuff\u00a0car manufacturers like BMW are using in their newer cars.

They are typically an understated part, yet serve a rather important purpose. Evidently, LSx engines have a bad spot in the RPM range where the serpentine belt will want to jump off the pulley. Katech&#8217;s billet belt tensioner is supposed to remedy this issue and will be a good insurance to have.\u00a0Plus, it looks nice.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/grandmighty.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/katechidler.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-5209\" src=\"http:\/\/grandmighty.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/katechidler.jpg\" alt=\"katechidler\" width=\"777\" height=\"518\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Lastly, to round out this mix, here&#8217;s a picture of the Dakota Digital SGI-5 speedometer signal interface unit. This little module is necessary for V8 swaps because the FD&#8217;s speedometer requires a 8202 pulse per mile signal, whereas the T56 and TR6060 send out a different rate. The Dakota Digital unit will convert the pulse frequency at a set ratio to calibrate the speedometer accurately. It&#8217;s also nice that the range of adjustments is almost infinite, so virtually all combinations of gear ratios and tire sizes can be accommodated for.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/grandmighty.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/dakotadigital.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-5210\" src=\"http:\/\/grandmighty.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/dakotadigital.jpg\" alt=\"dakotadigital\" width=\"777\" height=\"518\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I used a fair amount of reflective gold heat shielding during the Single Turbo conversion and I plan on continuing that theme for the swap.
