ok well went to the track today and had some serious belt issues. everytime i did a burnout it would trhow a belt and trash it. all my pullies seem to be lined up fin, i was looking at the katech, but it says Not recommend for use on supercharged engines unless the supercharger has a dedicated drive. so i dont know. any help on this?

 

anyone even own a katech?? anyone ever had any belt problmes at all like this?

 

Might have better luck over on tech, I dont believe anyone on here has the Katech tensioner setup.

 

well i just got a reply from them and they said they need a spring loaded tensioner to help with the load of the blower. so i need a way to stregnthen the stock one or something , i dont know wtf is going on that would cause my belt to be thrown so easily,.

 

can you post up some pictures of your pulley/belt arrangement?

 

 

on that truck, it looks like the belt is riding on the inner edge of that idler pulley below and to the left of the H/U. I found going to a flat 8 rib idler pulley (i.e. no lip) eliminated throwing belts, at least for me as I had a bout of this myself when I first installed my radix system. might try a different idler and see how she goes

btw, is that your truck? I thought you had a black truck? if not, I wanted to see your setup to see what I could see

 

its the same set up as me, i just wasnt at home when i posted it, i have the same set up though, its funny you say that though. everytime i through the belt i would find it all weedged inside of the pulley you are mentioning, so what are you saying is i should go with those billet idler pullies you have? or just a new one with an inner lip to keep it from wandering. i did take pics today but i dont have my camera dock with me niow that im home. what i was planning on edoing though was getting a stiffer spring for the tensioner , another through i had was that the current blow off valve on the setup isnt big enough causing to much surge when i let of,thus causing the blower to stop really fast upon decel and causing the blet to hop so i was going to upgrade the bov. but what you are saying is making alot of sense becaus ei have a ton of belt dust in the are of the alt bracket .

 

do you have any pics of your setup , are yo unow an 8 rib set up? also the pulley i am speakling of the belt going underneath is the alt idler pulley not the one with the lip, what would you recomend for an idler pulley then?

 

anyone else?
