Probably Gates.

Prof said:On a more serious note...it seems that we need a quantum leap invention here...some one needs to design a belt that can be tailored to an exact fit...with some sort of joining technology that would not compromise the strength of the belt...come on inventors...do something for us!

Bone said:Sean already attempted but it was cost prohibited. David Weaver also researched it for months. I must have some 45 emails from both of them on the subject. Sean had a Gates rep sit down with him.
What about an idler pulley that is on a base/braket adjustable via a bolt?
scoobert said:i know very little about this as i do not have a charger, however that being said, what stops you from putting a larger pulley on the crank? then it would spin faster. if you wanted everything else the same speed they would need bigger pullys, but you would not have the slippage problem. i am sure someone has thought of this before.
whats the max speed of this blower?
blackviper said:Bone, I had the 2 7/8 inch pulley on before the build. This pulley is 2 1/2 inches. With this combination, the blower will be spinning 16250+ rpm's.

Kind of like imporrt car p/s systems set ups... this should be able to alow you to make a belt fit to size/add pressure to belt.
Another idea i had was to just to design a pulley for the blower that would stick out farther and have custom crank pulley as welll to run an isolated belt for blower. kinda like the pro charger
I havent checked this thread for a bit bone, but looks like you want to tighten up the belt a bit, if you go by napa you can(if you have a good contact) go behind the counter, and get diffferent size idlers, they arent much and can be had it different sizesBone said:But not necessarily the best fit/traction for the belt. Cart before the horse. I am looking for a belt for optimized contact and traction. Your idea would best fit any belt to a system.
Example, I could take a 95" belt and best fit it with your system. However, I could take a 94.5" belt and best run my system with even less slippage.
Go for it, design it. We'll be behind you every step of the way!
No, mine is tight as heck right now. My question has been turned around a bit now. But that is fine.Stinker said:I havent checked this thread for a bit bone, but looks like you want to tighten up the belt a bit, if you go by napa you can(if you have a good contact) go behind the counter, and get diffferent size idlers, they arent much and can be had it different sizes
