How to trash and brand new belt

MATT02GT · August 5th, 2007, 10:25 PM

See if you can hear when the belt comes apart. Crappy thing is, the belt was brand new.

thank God we have timing chains instead of timing belts huh?

04GTAMPA · August 5th, 2007, 10:27 PM

Of course I can hear it. It sounded like a weed wacker!

Got it fixed?

sucks doesnt it. i just recently broke one at the track. the guy i was running against broke his tranny. i think i got the better end of thedeal!

MATT02GT · August 5th, 2007, 10:34 PM

Gotta get a new one tomorrow. Anyone out there running a bigger belt rib system out there?

sonicblue · August 5th, 2007, 10:36 PM

very soon i will be going to a 8 rib set up. changing a belt with a procharger is a pain in the dick and i dont feellike breaking another one.

04GTAMPA · August 5th, 2007, 10:39 PM

There's a guy around here running an F1 with a 13 rib... Again, it's an F1, never mind...

Those things break more often than not!

The only system I could find is Reichard Racing, any others out there? And whats your setup? Those are some impressive numbers.

i dont know ive broke both attempts. just little things while trying to work thekinks out. i am gonna go back as soon as i get off 12 hour shifts. when the belt broke i coasted to a 13.0. i still need to get some seat time with this set up but i cut a 1.69 60 ft. and it has a lot more in it i just need to get to the track more. as far as my set up its all in the garage section. basically a built motor and 13 pounds of boost.

sonicblue · August 5th, 2007, 11:19 PM

i think kenne bell sells a 8 rib set up. or you could go to the ford dealer and get some pulleys off a truck

droppedbass87 · August 5th, 2007, 11:32 PM

you should be in the 11s

sonicblue · August 5th, 2007, 11:33 PM

yea thats what i am expecting. withsome more seat time or a better driver it would prolly hit high 10s

MustangMatt96GT · August 5th, 2007, 11:37 PM

04GTAMPA · August 5th, 2007, 11:39 PM
