Congrats to Kevin and Shawn this past weekend! Both set new PB’s in the 1/4.
Shawn (black car) with his 10r80 G3X 100mm combo. Full weight car @ 4150 lbs. Stock engine/trans/converter. 9.40 @152.7
Kevin (silver car) with his 10r80 G2 100mm combo. Gt350 intake, Circle D converter. 9.42 @147.5...
Yeah something is for sure off then. I highly doubt the pulleys are a different size than other cars. But if you’d like you can send the measurements to [email protected]. My guess is belt routing is wrong or you don’t have the tensioner fully maxed out. The k061037 should fit easily.
The belt you purchased is going to be too long. You can run a gates K061037 (6pk2649) if yours is tight. Also like Brad says you should install over the SC pulley first and slide over the smooth idler below it last. I have installed this belt combo dozens of times and sold hundreds of kits with...
Actually this could be your best bet. Haven’t done any testing with this but it’s recirculating and should be much quieter. It uses the same v-band connection and would be bolt on with our intercooler. Would just need to route a recirculation hose back to the intake.
On some of our other kits we use a bypass valve that recirculates the air back Into the intake system. It’s virtually silent. A custom boss/adapter could be machined to fit our v-band flange on the intercooler and you could run the vortech bypass instead and plumb it back into the intake tube...
There’s no way you are getting actual knock on a 125mm pulley with a G2 on a gen 2 car. It has to be false or an issue with TC. Unless you got a very very bad tank of fuel. We commonly run 115mm pulleys on gen 2 cars on pump fuel. 120mm is plenty safe, 125 is super conservative.
If your car is a gen 2 it should have two lines that went to the factory air inlet and the other line will go to the T fitting. I have seen a few Gen 2 cars have only 1 line going to the factory air inlet. If that is the case I can send you the straight fitting with one connector to replace the...
No everything looks good to me, if it’s just barely touching I wouldn’t worry about it. If you’re not in a hurry I can also swap that hose out with a different one if you’d prefer.
That’s interesting, haven’t seen one touch the fan shroud like that. You can shorten the TB end a bit to gain clearance. Even if it’s just lightly touching it will be ok, it’s 5 ply silicone.
