Project FD RX7 Restomod: Part 9 – Air Pump Removal and FFE Idler Pulley

With the intake and charge pipes out of the way, we were ready to remove the Air Pump.

Below the air pump, we can see the forward-facing OEM turbo with its tiny 57mm compressor wheel.

With the air pump removed, there is a lot more space in the engine bay.

Next, we installed the Full Function Engineering Idler Pulley mounting bracket.

With the idler pulley mounted, we were ready to install the proper length serpentine belt.
