If I left the stock pulley on would it get rid of the belt issues on the V2? I know its only like 6psi, just wondering though. I doubt I can find a V1 so I am just figuring out what I want to run on it. I am going to use the car as an everyday driver and dont need problems from it like before. Dont really want a pure beast out of my car so I dont want a 2.87 or anything like that. I had the 3.25, might just get a 3.33 this time. Comments?

 

Also keep the JWT/ECU or no? I dont think I can with the S/C unless it gets the s/c program. Might just sell it

 

larger pulley diamter = more surface area = more contact area for the belt = less chance of having shredded belts. but if you have the alignment problem from day 1, you have to add washer to fix it!

I doubt you will have much fun with the 3.6. go for the 3.33 with the 6:1.

my opinion on pulleys
3.6 - weak
3.47 - weak
3.33 - ok
3.25 - I would go for the 3.125
3.125 - fun
3.00 - not made my vortech. still fun
2.87 -
2.62 - mardigrasmax only.

JWT ECU let your car shift at 7000. in this case, you will have a little bit more pressure than 6 psi from the stock pulley if u shift your car at 7000.

 

Add a washer to what pulley?

 

this is an e-mail reply that I wrote a while ago:
-----------------------------------------------------------
the cause of the SC belt alignment is the SC pulley
not aligned with your crank/alternator/AC.
Each car is different a little here and there so when
you put an SC onto it...it is not going to be
perfectly algined. To correct this problem, several
SC'ed peeps tried to use washers to push out the SC
pulley a bit in order to be aligned with the crank.
so first you have to determine what kind of
alignment problem are you seeing. if it is running
close to the engine. that means the SC pulley is too
close to the engine and it brings the belt to there.
if it is running towards the fender. that means SC
pulley is too far away from the engine. either one
can cause the belt to slip off the pulley.
to correct this. I added washers between the plate
and blower it self so I can push out the SC pulley
(which is attached to the blower, right?) a little.
So my problem is the belt is running too close to the
engine. On the other hand, if the belt is running too
close to the car. You have to push the SC pulley
towards the engine. in this case, you have to add
just a washer to the SC pulley shaft to push it in.

am I confusing you? let me know.

btw, if you decided to add washer. get a washer that
is thin (about 1mm). make sure every wahser is made
from the same manufacture and the same batch. too
thick and too much variation of thickness will bring
you more belt alignment problems.

Washers to go between the blower and mounting plate.

 

pics?

 

just put a washer onto the each peg that the hex bolt will go thru. I dont have a picture of it.

 

Like stated above... depends on the kit and/or installation... I put a 3.12" pulley without washers and haven't had any problems with it.

 

Mine lasted about 800 miles before shredding...
