Found a Double Sided Serpentine for Our Powerdyne

[2.8 Bird]

Ha, talk about luck. Dayco's Sales Dept. turned me down, but guess what Todd from Superchargerrebuild told me that they can sell us this:

Scroll down to Double ribbed Serpentine Belt and it say for Fbody V6 Powerdyne:

"Double-sided 6 rib belt for V6 F-body using Powerdyne - (103 in.)… $75"

plus $5 for shipping.

I went ahead and bought mine. :rock:

You'll be fine once you get yours together again.

Did you find it now. It's 3 down. It doesn't have any pics, just a notation that I posted above.

I emailed Todd and thanked him and told him that I would let the others know that he has this.

Finally we can say 'ADIOS!!' to belt slippage. I don't want to see 7-8psi on a good day or by luck, I want to see it all the time. :burn:

I don't know about you guys but I use like a 103 4/5" belt. I don't think I can fit a 103", at least not without a smaller pulley. He said he can order them but he needs a group buy

This is the email I got from Todd:

>>Yes, that's actually what that one is that I have in stock, 103.5"
>>
>> Thanks,
>> Todd


I emailed him back tonight to let him know that the 103" is causing some concern that it would be an extremely tight fit.

Hopefully he'll change his advertising to say 103.5"

BTW... my belt shipped today and it looks like I might get it on Tues or Wed. I'll let you guys know what it looks like.

I was thinking about this and what the hell are we supposed to do with the smooth water pump pulley?

Swap it for a grooved one, plus the tensioner pully will need to be grooved as well.

Ive been drawing up some prints that i can use to have them made at a machine shop if i dont have the time to do it myself.

Well I have a ribbed idler. Are we going to have to get the ribbed wp pulley made?

Re: Found a Double Sided Serpentine for Our Powerdyne

Will the pulleys from the 80's 2.8 work?

Re: Found a Double Sided Serpentine for Our Powerdyne

was smooping of the Vdub forum and foudn this http://forums.vwvortex.com/showthrea...-smooth-pulley supposidly theyve been running double sided belts on smooth WP pulleys for a while on the VR6 (from the factory). From what it looks like they only have about 10% wrap on the WP with no slippage.

Posts #9 and #12 give me more confidence that this setup should work well
