Re: ONGOING ISSUES WITH MY PROCHARGER SETUP................
My kit was shipped with the wrong pulleys, but as far as I know I think the standoff's are right.....
I will have them check that out...

Re: ONGOING ISSUES WITH MY PROCHARGER SETUP................ I got an ASP blower pulley, instead of the reichards, those were shredding the belts..
Now the belt really doesn't slip, but it walks off, we are close, its just an alingment issue...
I drove the car around on motor for a little today, very smooth....

Re: ONGOING ISSUES WITH MY PROCHARGER SETUP................ You have to install the Reichard with the stamp facing the blower (like ATI does). The grip-slots you don't want eating towards the belt... the angle should be away from the direction of spin. I ate belts with Reichard until I realized I had it on backwards.
Now it grips without shredding, I sanded/repaired the gouging near the idler on my ATI bracket and the new crank bolt seems to be holding... I gotta get back to the track and see what 10 to 11 PSI will do for me.

Re: ONGOING ISSUES WITH MY PROCHARGER SETUP................ I dropped the car of at Z9's shop this morning, the blower defiently looks like it needs to be moved back a little....also we were talking and he brought up a point that I'm running an iron block, would the mounting locations be different?
Re: ONGOING ISSUES WITH MY PROCHARGER SETUP................ i'm running an iron block too , it doesn't seem to affect it. i just put thick steel shims between the block and where the alternator bracket bolt is supposed to go ( cause ther is no place to drill and tap a hole for it like on the aluminum block).

Verdad Gallardo Re: ONGOING ISSUES WITH MY PROCHARGER SETUP................ yup , you'll have to drilland tap a hole like blackls1t/a said.
in retrospect, it just seems that ia bracket brace is a good idea!
bigbos, do you have any pics of the support bracket you had made?

Re: ONGOING ISSUES WITH MY PROCHARGER SETUP................ no, I'm going to be taking a new set of pics of the car as soon as I get it back, I will make sure to post....
Re: ONGOING ISSUES WITH MY PROCHARGER SETUP................ here's something interesting!
it could just be rotten luck but it's worth pondering:
i use carquest belts, never had one snap on me ( ecxept when i had the tensioner bearing seize up) while in a run.
well i decided to use the belts napa has to offer; and guess what happened! it didn't even last 24 hours. i put it in last night and retightened it today.i put a good 150 miles on it before i tightened it again. well i was racing a friend and all of a sudden just as i'm shifting into 3rd "snap!" . the belt just snapped.
now this could just be bad luck , but of all the belts i frayed and wore out from carquest, i never had one snap under load, but the napa one did. could the belt snapping issues big bos had be caused be crappy belts?
as a side note , a friend told me to ask for dayton cog belts . he said they are not actual cog belts but just carry the name and are the toughest out there.

Re: ONGOING ISSUES WITH MY PROCHARGER SETUP................ That could be an issue..
I was trying the Gates at first and it was the same issue with those....I will see how the NAPA's do...
Are the carquest belts the same material and what not, what would make them stronger?

Re: ONGOING ISSUES WITH MY PROCHARGER SETUP................ i thought you were using the napa's? (acyually i think the napa's are the same as gates)
i guess the carquest belts are a different maker.
