Pulley alignment

[BLOWNBY]

?? crank to blower on yours would be the slack side of the belt.

driven side is crank, idler, blower.

In order for yours to go crank to blower, the belt would need to push......

Yes crank to blower is slack side. The bottom from looking down

[stevieturbo]

so drive route is crank, to idler, to blower, then slack back to crank.

Mine is crank, to blower, then slack, to idler, to crank.

Do you know anyone who could make a strut brace like in my pic ?

No.. Crank to slack-back(as you call it..LOL) to Blower to idler back to crank.

Bob kurgan makes his own version I believe. You have to ask around here as I know others know or have one.

the belt pulls, not pushes lol

Your route is trying to push the belt in order to turn the pulley

Doesn't matter the routing either way one side is pulling while one is pushing. The belt is pulling on the right side while pushing on the left side for my setup.

If yours turns clockwise yet is on the driver side then it will push on the left side and pull on the right as well.

Either way my crank turns clockwise.

BLOWER to IDLER to CRANK to BLOWER

This is how I see it....( not my engine )

[stevieturbo]

I see both our drawing skills leave a lot to be desired :D lol

[BLOWNBY]

This should be how yours runs right. Yeah you apear a bit up on me though!:freaks:

The only difference is the idler on the pull or push side.

IS this the jist of our well crafted diagrams??:shocked:

[stevieturbo]

Correct, item 1 is the blower on mine. Item 1 gets pulled by the crank. Belts can only pull.

Any idea how to get in contact with Bob Kurgan ? or someone who could maybe supply a strut brace ?
Even if I had a normal type, I could maybe get it adapted to what I want locally.

ALL I KNOW IS MY HEAD HURTS FROM ALL THIS!

Do a quick question in the general help section.

[BLOWNBY]

Also if you have solid motor mounts you could fab up a brace from the SC to strut tower. Most cog guys do this.

:D:D:D:D:D

ok, found a weblink for Bob. I'll send him an email, to see if he can help any with regards to a brace.

yes my engine is mounted solid. I dont really have what I would regard as any solid parts of car to attach anything to where my blower is thought, and I guess it would be hard to tell how much tension to apply to it..

Between blower and crank makes more sense. Wonder what Bob will think of my strut brace diagram :D

THANKS :p

Bob designed my strut brace, here are pics:

I think in the 18-22 psi world, you either end up with 1/2 steel brackets or a strut brace... My brackets did not visibly flex before the brace either. But I'd lose the blower belt on the 2-3 shift a lot and sometimes when I let off after a pass.
