pulley slipping

[Xtant12]

I recently got my car back from having all my stuff installed by the great me Ron V. My car is slipping anytime I accelerate hard or nail it from the supercharger pulley. Its the 2.8 and I guess the belt is not gripping the pulley completely. Is there a kit that can solve this?? I ordered the 3.0 pulley tonight to see if it helps. Anyone have this problem??

dumb question, but did you get a smaller belt?

Yes sir.. But if i nail it you can hear it scream. The slip is so loud. Also, I dont know if it helps but you can see the belt kind of wobbles a little bit when you accelerate under the hood. Tht boost works if I drive it normal but if I accelerate hard or nail it the boost stop at 5 lbs and thats when you hear the supercharger slip.

You could do this mod and I bet that would solve the problem

I believe ron also designed an antislip kit that adds a pulley to increase belt wrap. Last I checked some other guy is making them now.

lol uhh... Smooth flow makes an anti-slip kit thing for gen v's but all you gotta do is a little grinding to make it work with the Gen 3. www.smoothflowpulleys.com

That kit reduces the amount of slip you will have but does not eliminate it completely. Cogged pullies are the way to go

That pitcher that was posted I dont think will work. My belt rivets go left and right and the pulleys in that motor picture are the opposite

I know, you would have to go with a different belt in order for it to work so u would need to talk to Farns about it and get an opinion but the biggest problem with that setup is $$$. It is fairly expensive to do that upgrade and everything is custom.

I think if this was a problem Vogel would have told you when you picked up the car...

lol at "needing" cogged pulleys. A lot of people have ran 2.8 pulleys without cogged setups. There's other things you can do like the elimislip kit or even upgrading to an H-body supercharger belt tensioner/icm bracket will give you some more belt wrap.

I did, the best overall solution to run a 2.8 is the smoothflow set-up IMHO. Farn's set-up is nice for the showcar money is no object set, a bit inpractical financially.

The belt was a little on the loose side; just enough to hit the end of the tensioner travel. A oversized idler would help too, but I've found they are just a small part of the equation.

The only car i've mess around with/tuned in person running a 2.8 pulley is ricky's car and he gets no belt slip on a 2.8 That's goofy that car gets so much belt slip. But i def agree with the smoothflow setup, looks really good IMO. You should make him one ron, you successfully made your own before lol along with handfuls of other stuff.

this is why I call you sack rider

there's no reason a 2.8 should slip with the right idler pulley and belt combination.

If it's too loose, get a shorter belt. If it's too tight at that point, get a smaller idler, etc. Find what works, it will certainly be cheaper than any sort of slip eliminator kit.

I simply don't have time to. I'm months behind on LCA's right now...

LCAs are more important than this belt slip. Ron step aside we got this one.

I would pull the s/c belt off, and see if the blower has ANY drag or wierd feeling to it...
