Ok so I'm 250 miles from home and all my car parts are there and my S/C belt just snapped to all hell today. My question is where can I get that emergency belt that bypasses the s/c and just snaps on? I know it's on JCWhitney.com but I just don't know which one. In addition, do I need any stock pullies to bypass the s/c or do I just not put the belt around the s/c pulley?
Thanx In Advance!

I forgot to add where can I get the gatorback belt and what size do I need for my 3.25 pulley, I know the gates numbers and I can probably get one of those at autozone but I have never seen the gatorback there.

 

Good ol' Google...

And your certain that's the correct size and length? Also do you know if I need any of the original pullies to bypass the s/c or no?

 

You missed the part where it says "Snap the links apart to adjust for desired belt length—no cutting, no tools required!"

IIRC you just thread the belt around the pulleys, except for the idler pulley and blower pulley. Check your Haynes manual for the belt routing.

 

Im retadded, I see you have the V2 as well, have you used the belt before?

 

You can get a stock size belt from napa or the dealer and it fits right on. But you have a v2 and now I have no idea what to tell you.

 

whats that emergency belt go on the supercharger ?

 

The emergency belt bypasses the S/C so I can run the car w/o using the s/c it just flows free air, yet I don't have to uninstall the s/c. Another question is it ok for me to drive 300+ miles on the emergency belt, i don't have time to take the s/c and replace the belt by saturday, unless someone in the RI area is free?

 

that sux man...I was just going to post how many people actually have snapped SC belts and how often that happens

 

In the 4 years I've had the V2 I've not had a snapped belt. Yeah, I've only lost one rib a couple of times during that time. No idea why a belt would snap. Age? Wear?

 

i just carry my stock belt in my trunk, just in case.

i had two belts shred, but thats because i'm an idiot and two brackets snapped the lower arm off.
