i took the belt off the other day, or maybe i should say IT SNAPPED.. and it was being eaten from the ribbing to the outside, the tensioner is fine as is
ive had a world of progress with my car... a friend of mine works at a machine shop adn i was belting out ideas about runing the water pump off the front of the crank and letting the s/c have a dedicated contact patch.. so he made me up a 20mm ali disc and i redid the tensioner on the s/c, you now CANNOT get any more contact that this :
pic from above :
the car felt different after doing this, it revved free-er and warmed up a bit faster, as now it is driven at the regular ration of an n/a water pump.
so i took it for a blat, with big expectations, STILL bogged down i was so sad.
the BIG breakthrough came today.. i was standing there looking at the car, just snooping around and i rememebred that my cooler outlet join was a bit too long and always seemed to get sucked in (from vacum pressure) so i looked down to where ive used a silicone bend (truck radiator hose $130 for ONE bend) and i couldnt see it i was shocked. i shoved my hand down there and felt it being sucked inwards and thought "ohh crap this aint good" so i pulled soem crap out and cut a 20mm ring of 2.5" stainless , slipped it into the bend and hose clamped it from the outside. started the car up to test, it still was getting sucked in a bit but nowhere near as much , like it isnt chokign the air supply anymore. checked my safc for readings and the airflow opening % has gone up 0.2%, ODD! greddy boost gauge revealed less vacum pressure (only slightly) and i stood up and listened to the mtoor for a bit, it was running better than it had done before i had gotten to it with all of this.... really weird!
took it for a drive, bit anxious expecting results and it pulled HARD through first, then Second, all the way and i ran outa road ( haha in the suburbs ) so i shut it off.
Just went for a lap of my "tuning circuit" and the car didnt fail me ONCE at all, it held boost strong in all gears all the way to redline ( well except 5th ) so im retty confident that i have found out what was stopping my boosting... i am going to revise my intake setup (maybe just get some more rings in that elbow for now) and it should be GOOD!
