One thought on makeing a powerdyne pully stick

What contacts a rubber belt the best. Yep you guessed it rubber so how hard would it be to get the pully rubber coated.

another brilliant post by kris? ..."yep you guess it" :rolleyes:

lol, kris the side of the belt that hits the pulley is not rubber, its cloth or something.

if you coudl get a belt with teeth on both sidees, that would help ;)

Does belt dressing temporarily cure the problem?

Belt dressing seems to help me. I just use the stuff from napa. It makes the belt sticky and seems to build up boost faster. I have seen 9lbs many times using belt dressing. It does wear off pretty quick but would be enough to get a few track runs in and then squirt some more on.

i talked to the guys at gates belts and they are working on developing a doubled sided ribbed belt in many different sizes lets just hope one of them fits our cars that should take compleate care of our problem with belt slipping.

[Superv6bird]

A double sided ribed belt alone wont solve the problem. You are going to have a ribed belt running on a smooth pulley, you are going to have to change the supercharger pulley to a groved pulley. Also i think the water pump pully is smooth and i thought one more pulley is run off the smooth side, this means those would have to be switched to groved pulleys as well. You can get a groved supercharger pulley from powerdyne but i guess you would have to take the other pulleys into a machine shop and have them make you a custom groved pulley.

I am just not gonna run the belt down to the AC that will make the belt wrap around the supercharger pully.
