8 I think. The thing that pisses me off is that the belt ATI sent me is at max, 1 inch short which strikes me as odd

 

Does it go around just the supercharger? Haha run a smaller pulley. 8 rib belts are not common

 

pulley down time. more fuel, hammer the pedal. let'r rip

 

I'll check the routing again before ripping it apart and measuring the length. Might be a 6 rib since it replaces the stock one. Pulleying down probably won't work as i would have to drop 2 sizes I bet lol

 

if it's stock it's a 6 rib. measure the full routing then the measurement say 39.5in will be a 395k6 belt to help you find the correct one

 

it's a 6 rib, I'l try and find the length of it online somewhere

 

Run some rope around everything or a tape measure then measure the rope

 

Found the part number and it looks like it's a 115 inch belt. I'll be measuring it when i pull it off again. I'll be able to change belts and pull the procharger pretty fast by the time I get a belt to fit in this thing! lol

 

Do you have to take everything apart to change the belt?

 

although i kinda doubt it, i may have found the culprit behind my 'transmission noise' while going back to stock tonight;
totally worn out rear motor mount...
motor mounts are the only parts to change back to be totally stock - but that means fighting parts off of the white car... ugg
still chugging ahead...

Mark we're in.

 

Upgrade to rotated mounts since the stock ones are shot.

To change the belt, the bracket and the pro gather need to come off. I had to remove the pro charger to get the belt out of there and then reinstall it so that I could measure the length for the belt. Not exactly easy for 1 guy to hold a 10-15 lbs pro charger in one hand while leaning over a engine bay lol

 

these are the powell knock-off rotated mounts;
Mark has my original mounts in his car - which is why I'm left fighting parts off the white car;
oh well, the car should come apart anyway.

 

Order some powells or zzp's

 

I have some off in my garage

 

ZZP's are not rotated but I have them and don't have any wheel hop so far but I haven't taken it to the track

 

cool glad to hear your in jonathan.

i would give you that mount if i had it. it is in kyles car now. i would get either powell or ottp. i have ottp rotated. i would go straight to powell.

glad to hear you might get that truck running soon jon.

 

these are ottp rotated;
powell design;
when i get them out I'll contact John to get his opinion on failure.

 

i tear the bushings at least once a year with ottp. those are the solid bushings. unless they just got a bad bunch, but i dont think so. i do believe jon has had issues with the bushings too. i would go straight to powell.

 

iirc i got them on a "deal";
front and back together.

the one that is shot is the rear.

upon further consideration, after my drive this morning, I'm still thinking it's a transmission/bearing issue that I'm hearing;
it kicks in at 5kph or less, and is loudest from about 80-110;
it's speed dependant, as opposed to gear dependant;
the sound doesn't seem to be louder on one side;
I can feel the vibrations through my shifter, it's most noticable when changing gears.

I will see about finding better hubs in PNP tomorrow in hopes of not being dismissed as the noise coming from the hubs (because the ones from the white car don't look very good, and a hack mechanic might just see rust on a hub, and misdiagnose the noise as being hub related).

I hope to hear from the service manager today, and get booked in early next week for a diagnosis from them;
in the mean time, the OTTP mounts are coming out - I just hope I don't break too many more tools removing the downpipe of the white car;
three of hte turbo flange bolts backed out with the stud, and hte last one doesn't seem to want to budge - I literally twisted the end of an extension (picture a piece of licorise)...
I guess it's a confirmation of sorts that I'm not a wimp, if I can do that with a wratchet... eek.

 

If you are going to pick n pull let me know. There is a couple little things I have to look for my truck

 

You'll NEVER find LNF hubs at PnP

 

I've been on ZZP mounts all around for 2 years (since I did my clutch) never had a problem with them but I am also running their poly engine mount and I don't think the poly engine mount will work with rotated mounts

 

in my " i am tired of replacing parts i have already replaced" mood i would pony up and get the best. when it comes to suspension powell is it. i just wished he offered a much lower spring. performance is cool but i like to look cool too.

 

Ya most ricers will choose looks over performance

 

i might be a ricer, never denied it.

it must sound funny when the occupants in the other car just got their butts handed to them by me. man that ricer just handed it to you bro!!!!!! those stickers really do work. damn thats a cool car. all low and NOT slow.
