**Manual Timing Belt Tensioner Solution from INTEGRATED ENGINEERING!**

[Cassidy@Integrated]

At Integrated Engineering, we have long appreciated the simplicity of the old style mechanical tensioner setup. However, this setup previously had the side effect of decreasing belt wrap on the crankshaft- a common place for the belt to strip it's teeth. We have gone the extra mile to engineer a billet idler roller mount bracket, which will maintain belt wrap on the crank pulley. This will prevent any unnecessary wear on the timing belt, which leads to premature belt failure. It also prevents excess belt vibration between the tensioner and pulley. The manual tensioner will not lose pressure on the timing belt, like the OEM gas-charged tensioners do. This kit is a direct fit for ALL 06A 1.8T engines!



Features:
-Great upgrade from faulty OEM tensioner
-CNC machined in house, from 6061 T6 aircraft grade aluminum
-No charge red anodized finish
-Roll formed threads for added strength

Available in a COMPLETE kit with IE billet idler plate, idler roller, manual tensioner, ContiTech timing belt, and all necessary mounting hardware, including a 4140 steel high strength stud. This is everything you need to convert your 06A 1.8T to a manual timing belt tensioner setup!

awesome fu(king piece. really cool.

[simon-says]

Just what the Dr. ordered.
Good stuff guys!!!

[ejg3855]

about a week ago I said to myself, self you should really design a manual tensioner setup that works.

Then like bahm pete was in my brain.

[smugfree3]

how often do the stock ones really fail

[pete@integrated]

The stock tensioners fail all the time, if you do a little searching.

Glad you guys like these, we put some work into them to make them really nice.

[dubbin_boho]

you guys make awesome stuff

i'll probably pick one of these up for my motor build

[Cassidy@Integrated]

[coolvdub]

Pete,

Great job as usual, I love the attention to detail you put into this. Most people would overlook the fillet radius at the boss. Great job, no stress risers built into it. Looks like I will be buying this at my next TB change. To bad I just did the TB due to a failed bolt from one of Chris' early kits.

[pete@integrated]

Ya- thanks! The thread is also roll formed for extra strength-

Those early studs were unfortunate- the stud we provide is 4140. It cost about 6 times what the other option was, but this is one of those areas where nothing but the best will do. Of course it just uses a spacer and a nut, which ensures it is always loaded in tension rather then bending.

I might consider this next time when i do my timing belt...

[Richard_Cranium]

mine should be here today or tomorrow.

will put up tha PIX when i get it and put it on the new IE stroker motor

[White Jetta]

Very nice and about time someone else did this. I have one of the earlier PD Performance kits and heard of the bolts failing. Mine has been fine, asked for a new one, never got it. But that's another story.

[Richard_Cranium]

WOOHOO!!!!!

so i will put up a few more pix when the head is on and the belt is on.....

[VRT]

No love for the 058 block?

[Dave@integrated]

Not yet at least. We'll consider it though.

[Richard_Cranium]

so, i like this piece..... its really nice.

here is a few more shots of it installed, and what it looks like in action on the priming the oil pump vid....

[CD155MX]

No love for the 058 block?

Not yet at least. We'll consider it though.

I would be in for one for the 058 block.

[baileysjetta]

THAT BELT LOOKS TIGHT? WHAT METHOD DID YOU USE TO ADJUST TENSION KILLER BUILD

[weenerdog3443]

def gonna have to get this when it comes time to do my rods

[Cassidy@Integrated]

[edisonr]

Just what I needed, email sent

[O2VW1.8T]

Will be ordering a kit when i reach 100k. I already changed the belt at 70k but i used ecstuning kit and it looked like knock off parts lol.

[Sketchykid]

ok having only done one belt on an AWP, how do you get the belt on there with no ability to "un-tension" the tensioner?

[Richard_Cranium]

ok having only done one belt on an AWP, how do you get the belt on there with no ability to "un-tension" the tensioner?

the manual tensioner is based upon an eccentric center section. you use the tool and you can tighten it.

the center portion, the bolt hole is not "centered" rather it is off-centered. so when you turn it, it rotates off-center and gets tighter by pushing on the belt.....

look CLOSELY at the manual tensioner piece..... if you had one in had you would understand better i think.

[schwartzmagic]

PLEASE make the bracket in black so it'll match with everything else going on my engine, i.e., black an fittings, black tial wg & bov, etc etc etc.... Otherwise I'm gonna have to spray bomb such a beautiful bracket.

[Dave@integrated]

We don't have any plans to do them in other colors. You could however buy a raw finish one though and ano it black yourself.

[schwartzmagic]

[edisonr]

Thank you IE !!!!!

[zerb]

did someone say black. (powdercoated)

[Mike Pauciullo]

send me one i gave you guys beer

[Dave@integrated]

Nice, I like the powdercoat!

[Dave@integrated]

Sounds good to me Mike... just send me the other 46 beers first

[Richard_Cranium]

Sounds good to me Mike... just send me the other 46 beers first

i will beat him to the punch, Dave....

















































oh yeah, i am seeing alot of this type stuff on other threads and websites, BTW.

[simon-says]

Damn. that's alot of beer.
And good pick of the booth.
