Ported blower install.... need help

[greasy]

its a 74" and 3/8" belt

its cool i gotta go to bed soon anyways cause im waking up at 230 am for work

What about bearings???? any chance it could be that? i dont really know how to read that marker thats why i posted the pic

The tensioner is sitting far right which means the belt is too tight. The sound is coming from the bearings because there is too much load on the pullies. If you are running to much tension on the stock pulleys they will get overloaded and basically exploded or seize. My suggestion is to order a whole new idler kit to get rid of all the stock pulleys and figure out what size pulley you are going to run. Once you have that info head to this link and reference your combo to get you in the ballpark for belt size. I would then by 5 belts, the one recommended and then 2 above and 2 below. Figure out which one works best and return the other 4.

well according to the list i need a 74" belt for the set up i have right now... and i have a 74 3/8 which is bigger

Your tensioner is reading too tight still, so like I said it is just a reference.

this may sound dumb but did you make sure there was oil in the blower?

A squealing belt will look just fine. Are the gatorback belts the green ones? That's what everyone I know runs.

The green belts are gates heavy duty. I run one and every year gotta replace it, when it squeals its nasty sounding

I had a 2.76 upper and a stock lower. stegi ported blower. fyi unless you run a lower the port does not help you,

I ran a factory belt which is a gates belt. stock tensioner. had some slip but never glazed a belt.

also ditch those stock tensioner pullies. they explode. I have the billetflow setup. 1-92mm and 3 90's..something like that whatever the popular 4 setup is

Any way you can get a vid or sound clip up? Pretty damn good advice so far...ever tried any belt dressing? Disregard if that has ready been asked.

sounds really fucked up

also is that hose tapped into the blower? or is that just a clamp?

That hose is jus clamped, and I think I may of gotten coolant in the cylenders cause it makes the same noise when I started the car for a split second with belt removed
