For those who have changed out there pulley, I am about to undertake the same thing. I am going from a 3.6 to a 3.48. The question I have is that do I need to get a smaller belt for the sc or can I use the existing belt and just increase the tension. I know several of you including drew and such have changed out there pulleys. Can you guys give me a heads up? Thanks

If you are going one size down you can use the same belt.
Originally the belt Stillen used was a Gates 060695 belt but I was told they later changed it to a 060696 which is one size larger. Good luck those allen head bolts that hold the blower to the bracket are a big PITA to take off they have locktite on them.

ask drew..he left the bolt in and his pulley is grinding everytime he turns on the car...not a pretty sight.
the big a$$ allen bolts are tight as hell...plenty of grease and impact wrench helps a lot there.
the belt tensior is a another HUGE PITA to get at...try to a few different sockets extensions and combinations to get to it. when you tighten the belt the socket is very difficult to pull out of the tensioner...get some long long needle nose pliers and start pulling.
also make sure you have the right size belt on...if not then your going need to pull off the assembly to fit the correct belt on there again..you won't know if it's right until u bolt up almost everything to find out.
this is speaking from experience..right Dave?
good luck
Dan

Re: Re: If you are going one size down you can use the same belt.
Yeah I haven't seen you here in a while someone said you had moved. Surprisingly there's not that much bickering anyone everyone pretty much gets along like the old days.
BTW Dan knows from experience when he talks about the S/C he worked on mine and had one heck of a time doing it. Also since you are changing the pulley might as well put a new belt in there cuz to change belts you have to take the whole thing apart again.

Phoenix
Hey Vapors,
How are you and your wife? I'm glad to find that you moved to Phoenix. My wife and I will be flying to CA 6/11 to pick up my car at JWT and we'll be stopping in Phoenix around the 12th.
Let me know if you'll be in town.
Regards, Ron (I30KRAB)

hey Ron
Good to hear from you too. I will be here and would love to see your machine but we work some weird hours. We will have to find some time. Hope things are going well. Email me when you get closer to your date at vapors9@hotmail.com. I will try to make some time. There is a killer track here that is about 5 miles from my house. You guys will all love this too.....the gas station right down the street sells Trick racing fuel out of a pump, just like any other gasoline. So you could hit the track with us when you come out.
