belt seems all tight and everything,how do i make sure that the tensinor is sitting on good

also it did ran 1 day before i acutally got the pulley installed,so can it be the MAF?i do have the airbox mod,and i drove it in rain before and no problems...it started occuring right after i got the 2.9 installed

 

You shouldn't have to do anything with it. Just make sure the belt feels tight. When you push the tensioner down, it should just come back up automatically and be tight. Just look at the belt good and make sure it is tight, on every pulley correct, if not, try putting the s2 pulley back on, but I'm sure you will still only make 10 psi.

If it ran 100% correct before the pulley I am going to assume it is a pulley/belt issue.

 

just checked the tensior and its on there pretty good...i couldnt even turn it...i was movin the motor and not the belt..car is in neutral

 

Well you should be able to turn the SC pulley with the belt on. Maybe something is making it too tight. You made sure it was on the crank and alternator good? I know I could turn mine, that is how I broke the bolts off. I put it in gear and started turning it till it got tight.

 

so should i just leave it in neutral and try to turn it,or put it in gear and try to turn it

 

If you can't figure it out take some pictures of the pulley, tensioner, and as much of the belt as you can, even down low. That might help someone so they can see it.

If you put it in gear as you turn it it will get tight, the tranny will hold back. If you just grab the pulley and try to spin it it should turn, mine did. Im not saying it will spin like the belt is off but it will turn. If it is that tight that could be a problem.

 

well was able to turn it forward...last time i was turnin it back wards and didnt go anywhere..whole belt is siitin on perfect...up top and down low

also car in gear and is little harder to turn than when it was in neutral

 

I dunno man. Hopefully someone can help ya. You got a camera handy to put some pics up?

Yeah it will be harder to turn in gear.

 

Well when i was gappin the plugs back to 0.039 i accidently broke the tip of the first spark plug...this was after the 2nd test drive...also can it be the boost by-pass valve that went bad?here are some pics of the belt

instead of playing around with a ton of things trying this and trying that. Put your Stage 2 Pulley back on, if your PSI goes back up to normal you know you have a problem with the belt slipping. Also compare the pulley size, maybe they sent you the wrong pulley

 

Have you tried putting your old pulley back on and seeing the psi that is running? If the larger one is running even lower psi's then you have a problem. That means its not the pulley. Your tried and retried the gap on the plugs, so we can take the plug out of the equation. With vehicles it a trial and error thing. Try one if it doesnt work try the other. If you think your boost bypass is bad, plug it. Do the boost bypass mod.. right? Start from the easiest most cheapest thing you can do then work your way up..

 

Well the belt def. looks good.

 

can nate's bolts fit on the s2 pulley?i dont really want to use the gm bolts since i gotta trq them down...i just went to autozone and bought some ngk copper 1 step colder...gapped them to 0.040 and ill go see is there diffrence...if no diffrence ill just put the s2 back on and see what happens...

and on the back of nates pulley it says..2.9"

 

I doubt its your plugs man cuz you said your already pulled them and regapped them right??...... I would try the S2 before anything...

 

on the boost bypass mod,do i keep the actuator off or on

 

The answer is probably no but you didn't get the stock belt and stage 2 belts crossed up when you swapped the pulley did you? I'd think the normal mechanic wouldn't even take the belt all the way off the crack and rest of the accessories.

 

You have a vaccum leak it sounds like, dont do the boost bypass!!!!

 

no they didnt,just loosed it and swapped out pulleys

and how do i fix vaccume leak?i was on my way to do the by pass mod

 

I think everyone is thinking vacuum leak from the supercharger to intake manifold gasket but that doesn't make sense if you just swapped the pulley and didn't remove the blower.

Makes perfect sense if you did remove the blower to do it though.

 

maybe when gm put the s2 kit on they did remove the blower and didnt put it back on properly...the car does kinda choke when im exiting the garage...sounds like it wants to turn off,but comes back to life

 

I would call the shop who installed the pulley and find out exactly what they did, because they may have pulled the SC without telling you.

 

i doubt it since it was changed in like 20 min...i called them and they said all they did was swap pullies

 

I would guess its either the bypass valve is sticking or that the SC to intake gasket has a leak . If the belt was slipping that bad it would squeal , or at least be hot to the touch . Did you hold both pulleys to each other to make sure you didn't get the wrong size by mistake Haha i know but stranger things have happened .

 

Man that sounds like a vaccum leak, or your TB being dirty, something is not hooked up all the way, go around to all your hoses and check them.

 

whats does your boost gauge read at idle??


the vacuum
