VMP Performance VMP STREET NO-GRIND 6-RIB FEAD KIT FOR SUPERCHARGED COYOTE 5.0 L

VMP No-Grind FEAD Kit for TVS Supercharged '11+ Coyote (Street Version) 

Works with Predator swaps and PBH kits.  Includes idlers for 6-rib belt.  Must upgrade idlers for 8 and 10 rib belts.

This kit is designed to work with older VMP and Roush blower kits with the 2.3 L or 2.65 L supercharger on Gen1 and Gen2 Coyote ('11-17). It replaces the cast Roush FEAD bracket and spider bracket that require grinding of the front cover to install.  We have not tested this kit on the 18+ Roush supercharger kit.  Also a great option for the Predator blower swap when using the coyote front cover.

The street kit is recommended for 85 mm/3.2" and larger pulleys.

See our Race Kit (VMP-SUT019) when running 82 mm/3.1" and smaller pulleys for increased belt tension and improved belt wrap.

This kit includes:

• Billet aluminum FEAD bracket with mounting hardware
  • new design with removeable upper boss for Power by the Hour (PBH) kits
• Two VMP-61-SM idler pulleys with 6203-2RS bearings
• Medium-Duty cast automatic belt-tensioner
• Ribbed idler pulley and bolt
• Six M6 x 14 mm pulley bolts
• .035" thick supercharger pulley spacer - use if needed

Why do we offer this kit?

In 2020, VMP launched the world-famous Odin Supercharger. One of the many innovations was a no-grind style FEAD system (Front End Accessory Drive). Traditionally, all VMP and Roush supercharger kits required minor trimming of the front cover. This design existed for two reasons, the original Coyote front cover released in 2011 had no bosses or machined features. Secondly, the first shiv or "AC belt" is the closest to the front main bearing and puts the least stress on the crankshaft.  

In mid-2011, after launching the Coyote engine, Ford standardized the Mustang and F-150 front covers. This change gave us bosses on which to mount an idler pulley and tensioner. These new mounting points combined with our proprietary upper FEAD bracket form a complete supercharger belt drive. 

*Your front cover must have the machined idler boss and machined tensioner pad. Early 2011 model year Coyotes lack these features. In this situation, the Roush bracketry is the best option.

A note about belt lengths with this kit:

• K060815 belt is recommended for 88 mm/3.4" and 92 mm/3.5 in" upper pulleys on a 2.65 L TVS supercharger.  
• '11-'14 Style Roush lower intakes are 3/8" taller and may require a longer belt. You can identify this lower intake by the significant 3/8" difference in blower mounting height vs. fuel rail mounting height.
• 2.3 L VMP and Roush blowers have a lower pulley centerline which causes the needed belt length to decrease. 2.3 L blowers often use an 82 mm/3.1" - 85 mm/3.2" pulley to achieve boost levels of 10-12 psi on pump gas. Depending on your lower intake height, you may need to go as short as a K060810 or K060806 belt.
• If the belt is too loose or too tight, the tensioner may make a clicking noise.

*A .035" thick pulley spacer is included in this kit to use if needed. This spacer allows you to correct minor belt alignment issues due to variances in lower intake placement on the engine.

*This kit comes standard with VMP Odin and was also included with VMP Gen3R supercharger kits shipped from early 2021 on.  

*Odin requires VMP-ODP000 hub spacer to use VMP/Roush 6-rib Coyote milli-meter sized pulleys.
