Custom belt wrap?

Talk about modifications, or anything else associated with performance enhancements. Have a new idea for performance/reliability? Post it here. No idea is stupid! (please use Detailing and Appearance for cosmetic ideas)

Custom belt wrap?

Post by repnatl »

Ive seen them on the clubgp page and was curious if it would benefit a stock gen 3 with a 3.4 and smaller. Not intercooled yet but plan on it. These mount to the supercharger and the alt bracket.

Not worth it until you are running a really small pulley. 3.0" and smaller. I am not even sure if it will fit with a larger pulley...

If you're having belt slip issues with a 3.4, you need a new belt.

No issues I went with a different belt and oversized tensioner pulley just like the way it looks I guess lol.

I can see that, but you'd be way better off putting that towards a set of headers or something else that is going to make it go faster, or some other shiney bits to clean up the engine bay first.
