8 rib pulliey setup done, and a few extras
well after about 3 months in the making i got all my new pullies on. bye bye belt slip. i had ati make me a complete custom 8 rib pulley kit. lucky i had a set of the stock pullies laying around to send them for mock up. only pulley i kept was the waterpump pulley which will just perfectly work for an 8 rib.
i also got some carbon fiber covers made by art a.k.a. 12's rock and they came out very nice. he made the pcm cover and fuse box cover, also i will be adding the radiator cover.thanks to anonymous also for letting me use his crank pulley puller
the blower was also rebuilt recently due to some oil problems. not to mention throught in a new steering shaft while i was all dirty. changing the pullies is easy if you have the right tools.
since i had all the brackets and stuff off i deceided to have the water pump and alt/blower bracket polished, and all the bolts chromed.
i was lucky the only 8 rib belt i had fit perfectly , the next closest sizes are almost 2 inches longer or shorter. and when i run the smaller blower pulley i just change out an idler with a bigger diameter to make up for the belt slack.( i actually thought this one through)
well here are the pics
now to get the meth wired up and make an appointment for the dyno tune.

you suck! Hey I have a mortgage payment due this week, wanna hook a brutha up? awesome work man. Gald to see if you are gonna do it, might as well get dirty and do it right! Looks f-ng killer and now that you have belt slip handled, you just have to worry about belt shredding. If it ain't one thing it's another. Nice work though Chase.

The shredding is caused by the accessories overspinning the crank during rapid decelleration. That will bottom out the tensioner and allow the belt to go slack. The best way to prevent it is to re-engineer the placement of the tensioner so that it can only take up slack, not give it up. That means that when the belt is at rest it should be tight enough to not slip without the tensioner doing anything. The purpose of the tensioner then becomes taking up the slack from stretch only. Doing this requires the use of a fixed or adjustable idler in the tensioner's place, and then installation of a tensioner between that idler pulley and the crank pulley pushing against the back of the belt to take up the slack.
I have an idea for a crank pulley or harmonic damper that would eliminate this problem, but it is still in the conceptual stages.
