took off my supachaga yesterday to replace the coupler and what now, noticed i have a huge ass chunk of belt missing. dont know if its from slippage or what but thats what i would assume.

question is, buy a new stage 2 belt or buy the bigger tensioner pully or can you run the stage 2 with the bigger pully?

help is greatly appreciated

 

anyone

 

put some duct tape on the belt it should be fine

 

lol, but fo realllllll though

 

can just get zzp's adjustable tensioner easiest thing to do and will last longer

 

with the stage 2 belt? and can you run the stage 2 belt with the oversized tensioner?

 

not the oversized tensioner, adjustable tensioner, then you can run stock belt stage 2 belt whatever

Cobalt & Ion ---> ZZ Performance

 

lol i know, two seperate questions. i dont really have 110 to throw for the adjustable right now thats why im asking about the oversized.

 

i have the stage two belt on now but since its getting fd im trying to figure out what this oversized tensioner is all about. on the zzp site it doesnt say what belt would need to be used with it. i have a 2.8 pully btw.

 

the over sized one is to use a stock belt, just go to the dealer and get a real GMS2 belt. if you got one from ZZP i bet it's not a real one. they are know for chunking out.

 

thanks brotha!

 

First things first if your gonna run a stage 2 belt don't run the zzp one get the gm one.

Possible belt setups

Stock belt----oversized tensioner----2.8 pulley
Stage 2 belt ---stock tensioner------2.8 pulley
Stock belt----zzp tensioner----- whatever size pulley

 

thanks, very helpful. i thought the ones that zzp sold was from gm but i guess they can easily fool you.

 

that's why i said if you had a ZZP S2 belt get a new GM belt. If my S2 belt from ZZP starts to chunk you better believe they will be sending me a new one, since they did the install.

 

Zzp does have gm stage 2 belts but you gotta buy them, the ones they send with their kits are a different belt idk why they do that

 

You could always buy a Gatorback too, I believe they carry a GMS2 belt.

 

what is a gatorback? and i went to ******* gm today to get the belt and they promised that it was the stage 2 belt, so i put it on and im boosting 5 pounds...... now im just debating buying the adjustable tensioner. you think ill be ok to get a new stage 2 belt or is it going to end up getting ripped up again?

 

Gatorback, as in the goodyear belts that everyone and their brother lauds as the best thing ever.

 

do you know the dimensions on the stage 2 belt to match it up by chance, or how would i know what would be the same size?

 

Just look on their site and grab a belt thats a hair smaller than the stock one.

 

Does anyone know real numbers I don't feel comfortable guessing

 

Ideally, this belt is used with a 3.1" pulley. A 3.0 is quite fine. As you go smaller problems can arrise and it's recommended to use our adjustable tensioner instead of the smaller belt. Another option is using our larger tensioner pulley with the smaller belt. We have seen belt failures with nearly all 2.7 and 2.6" pulley users who only run a smaller belt. We have seen many failures with 2.8" pulley users as well.

got my answer
