Atomic Fab HD Tensioner Adjustment
This video shows my heavy duty belt tensioner setup and how to properly size the belt for the best performance. This is also for high-RPM or high-power turbo setups even though I didnt mention them.
Can be purchased from my site here: atomicfabandperformance.com/product/hdtensioner/
Different pulley setups will require different belt lengths. The easiest thing is to order/buy several then return the ones you don't use.

    Nice build! Not sure if your setup is still the same as in this video, as it's a few years old, but I run a similar setup with a pair of cwa250 pumps. I run one inch lines and the two pumps overcome the added resistance from the smaller lines without an issue. The main difference that I wanted to note is I also included 5 volt reference as an input for my pwm controller to reference. So I hooked up a generic 3 bar map sensor and that signal feeds my pwm controller. So I can have the pumps be off at idle or vacuum and the flow scales up with boost. So my water flow is boost referenced and this helps keep my cold water cold for longer because I'm not cooling the air that doesn't need to be cooled. I only need cooling when I'm under boost and any other time the water's flowing it's just warming it up even though I'm not trying to make any power. Since doing this I've been able to switch from a 10 gallon ice box to a 5-gallon ice box, saving about 80 pounds. There's a guy on eBay selling a controller with an integrated 5 volt input reference so it has everything you need in one compact unit. A little intimidating to set up but his instructions on the eBay listing are adequate for getting it up and running without too much hassle. I recommend giving it a try, although it's significantly more expensive than the $12 controller you use, he asks for about 80 bucks for his controller. But it's worth the money in my opinion for having adequate control of your flow to preserve your cold air for when you actually want it. The other edition that I made to my setup is an intercooler sprayer over my heat exchanger in the front to amplify the cooling of the water circuit if you're doing back-to-back runs where you might get heat soak in your water circuit. Anyway just wanted to share a couple things that other people who see your video might find value in when they're optimizing their A2W system
