Im going to assume that the belt is too big, or the tensioner pulley is too small.

I have been running a 2.90" pulley fora while now... i just got my 2.80" pulley from nate and i threw it on the car today.


Well, it sounds like a messed up tensioner... it squeels, and gets louder as the rpms get higher. At idle it is nearly silent.

I put the 2.90" back on and no squeeling throughout the powerband.


Im going to assume i need either:

1) smaller belt

or

2) bigger tensioner pulley.


Is this correct?

 

get a light and check that your belt isnt off by a notch on all the different pullys

I did that once during a swap and it made some noise like that.

had to shove it over 1 tooth and it was fine.

 

Stock belt or stage 2 belt?

 

Anom... wouldnt it correct itself when the car turns on??? (or not always?)



Matty... s2 belt.

 

I'm going to assume that because he has Stage 2 kit listed in his sig, that it is the Stage 2 belt!

No it won't correct it's self....

 

Ooops I looked at your sig and looked right past it. I would be willing to bet Anom is correct.

 

i dunno. it probably would have if i gave it a shot of gas....but i just started the car, heard it, and shut it off.
the 2.8 should have no slippage with the S2 belt, so i doubt thats it...

 

it won't align itself....it could shred if its off...that sucks bigtime.

 

grrr.. i cant keep putting that 15mm on the tensioner.. it is starting to round itself off, before i know it, i will be stuck with whatever pulley is on it at the time

 

I cheat and use a prybar under my ingalls bracket to push the tensioner down from above

 

hmm i could do this.....

bingo anom... it was 1 rib off the crank... couldnt notice it unless i jacked the car up and got under it


all is well now

 

woot!
glad you got her sorted man.

 

Good call!

 

Mine shredded, when i went down to the 2.8 because it was off. Didn't even know.
