Pulleys finally in...

[sir-blah]

Well, I finally got my pulleys put in. Billet flow 2.930, and 4 piece idler set. I have had these things for a while just finally in now. I got it dyno'd at ADS in AZ but ran into a little problem. My exhaust prevents them from being able to strap the car down very tight so we had to load 3 people in the back for the pull. I got 501 crank HP 567 TQ but couldn't get it to stick traction on the dyno. The boost would come on and the tires would start roasting. So I guess my next mod is some custom 18x11 wheels and 335's in the back then see what I can lay down... That also give's me time to put the nitrous back in.

One thing I need to ask. I looked under the hood but couldn't tell for sure after the pullies were installed, which one was the 92mm vs the 3 100mm. Turns out that the 92mm is the lowest one and the three you can see in the picture are 100's. Is this right? Does it matter?

Blah-bling, looks great man!

I have 2-92's and 2-100's, with my 2.76.
Are you sure you only have one 92?
Billetflow installed mine with the 2-92's in the middle and the 2-100's up top and down low (bottom)


EDIT, 3-100's and 1-92, just like dougwg said.

Yep. My top 3 are all 100's, the bottom one is the 92.

You may run into belt interference issues with two 100 mm pulleys on top. The belt is only a hair away from contact with the belt on the other pulley. I would change them around to the position Postban has. A lot less chance for problems that way. If you actually do have only one 92 mm pulley, put the one 92 mm directly below the blower pulley as he has it. The decrease in belt wrap will be insignificant.

That would mean your gap is smaller than mine by whatever the 4mm additional radius adds.

TYGHT!!!!

When I talked to Ken at Billetflow, he said the 92mm was the one on the left side.

Awesome looking setup!! How much boost are you running with this setup?

you are right...

Postban,

I think you have 3 100's and 1 92...

Everyone,

It don't matter where you put the 92mm, as long as the belt does not touch it's self....

you can swap them around any way you like to give the most belt wrap for your configuration


Postban has a 2.76 and should have the pulleys just the way they are....

sir-blah is running a 2.93 which moves the belt away from it's self, therefore he can run 3 100mm pulleys up top ... if he switches to a 2.76, then he should install the 92mm idler on the passenger side just like postbans...

side note: if you install them "any way" and the belt is close and not touching... all is good!

 

[BAD03SVT]

hey what belt is used with these idlers and where and how much to buy them.

 

[esqeddy]

My set up is all 90s except for the top which is the 100. Mine aren't billet flow though. I don't think there is any real advantage one way or the other. The idlers just spin. So long as they are low friction pullies to replace the sluggish stock pullies you are fine.

I have the billetflow setup as well, 2.76 pulley, 4 idlers (one 92mm, three 100 mm) Same setup as Postban.

 

[plan b]

Oh I forgot, Stock belt

with this setup, you can use your STOCK BELT

 

[CobraBob]

Thanks for the info guys. I have wondered about the sizes as well. :beer:

I'm using my stock belt as well.

Yeah, mine are very very close. But not touching. You might be able to put something a little thicker than a soda can tab or a CD between them (MAYBE).

Dougwg, I stopped by the shop about 3 weeks ago to get the pulleys, you weren't there and I dealt with Ken. Very nice setup, I liked those adaptor plates for the Marauder, very nice:beer:
