Gilmer belt anyone?
 
Hey guys, was just looking around on eBay and found for this for the early 13b's:
http://cgi.ebay.com.au/MAZDA-12A-T-1...1%7C240%3A1318

Searched the forums and couldn't find anything, know of anyone making one to fit the 8?

The ebay ad says:

Time to get rid of the old 'V' belt drive?
Wanting that supercharger type noise?

Well if the sound in the u-tube clip on the auction page is any indication, then no thanks!



ps. to add something useful to this thread, Mazdatrix has these for race engines (no a/c) - you may want to call them to chat...

Why would you need one? Are you suffering belt slippage?

Yeah, I've seen/heard one of these on a V8 commodore (Australian/Holden made 5L V8) and they are incredible, not sure if it would suit the 8...

Thanks for the advice though.

I really dont' think yeah I know that a diff belt is NOT going to give u that "whine" of a supercharger maybe just make belt noise louder...

I think it's the same concept of like the turbo/fan thing that goes in ur exhaust to sound like a turbo
