That’s some hi comps and wide LSA for boost man

I wouldnt be giving it much timing at all purely with the comp been hi

but can only wait and see how it behaves to it as ever engine is different

I thought I would need water meth as well but turns out I was wrong, me having a big ass A2A cooler with a v7ysi running it at about 59 000 rpm…[Read more]

Looks good

are you using a v7ysi ??

And are are you goin to run water meth with no cooler ?

you do not need to massage any panels to fit a v2 or v7 blower on a VS

you ou can get around not cutting holes, running the pipe out towards to manifold and doin a U turn goin between the 8pk belt and radiator is achievable even when using a  AU fans

v2 blowers are awesome for 355

Definetly skinned our cats differently and ended up in simialr spots and +2 for that

Well that is true Gary lol

its only a hand full if you drive it in a manner that you want it to be a hand full, anything under 2500rpm and it’s nice subtle and fearly dosile really

Yeah sweet as, it’s been a few years since I got myn, how long ago did you get yours ?

myn is loose as, like 40mm slack maybe more (20mm each way)

quite and no vibrations on down revs so works for me

Just had a look at the mannual you are talking about benk

on page 171 it has a small paragraph for hi performance vehicles

it says when using in hi performance applications like motorbike, race car and boat superchargers the design loads will typically exceed published data, because of the extreme loads and belts speeds ( as much as 500hp…[Read more]

I’m actually not joking with running in the alternator, that seriously was the first time the tyres moved with that alternator hooked up lol, I literally started it up and checked volts, a small rev to 2500rpm then backed it out, washed it, warmed it up, run in the alternator and put it away lol

benk can you post a link to the belt tensions…[Read more]

I think there is way way more to this then anyone can post on here in less then 3 pages

for starters I disagree with blower engines exhaust not having scavenging affects, Infact I think they have a big scavanging effect, on a top fuller (yes I know it’s not a street car blah blah yes it’s different) when they drop a cyilendar the engines sees…[Read more]

Good stuff

your gear box mount looks like a mini diving board

Yeah that’s the belt tension, but that is still fearly tight, like a normal v belt is about 120lbs or so isn’t it ?

Maybe it’s something to do with there application, I see they are mostly used for for machinery and stuff, maybe as a drive belt that is steady rpm and belt only does Like 1000-1800rpm that would be fine with big bearings to take…[Read more]

Where did you get that spec from ??

Not a chance In the world would I run a 2 inch wide gilma at 56lbs, that would total bearings real quickly and whine like all fuck and be under massive tension once hot

my Pullies are about 500mm apart, when it’s cold the longest part of belt can move about 35-40mm so 20mm from centre line up or down…[Read more]

Just running in the alternator in 1st gear

Don’t know what the part number is

not a fan of posting illegal skids on public forums, maybe I can do a drive way skid

I like the tech talks, that’s why I’m on this forum

Yeah I’m not sure on specs, Iv never seen any and never been told any specs on tension and I 99% sure Scott from capa was who told me to not have it tight and check it while hot

having a 50mm wide belt if it’s tensioned up it puts huge load on the bearings and wears them out

my belt…[Read more]

Don’t know if there is a correct tension spec for capas gilma set up, think the only rule is not tight and not to loose it can fly off

if there is little to no slack in the belt while hot then it will whistle, if you put a little tension on it then it will be louder, tiny bit of slack in the belt while hot and its quitter

gilmas are not…[Read more]

Yeah that’s awesome 

I can not drill them all the way through, I wanted to do that, to drill them so they come out the lip on the front means the holes will be about 10mm from outer edge of pullie so would only be 8mm under the 50mm wide belt, the rear of pulley is even worse and holes would need to be about 5mm from edge, and where I’ve drilled them it’s solid alloy…[Read more]
