But at least the Cobb AP finally showed up. I was beginning to worry.

Have you guys figured anything out about the pulley? Is it looking like you'll have to get a new one made?

I actually met a guy this morning about a custom Jeep my dad wants to purchase and the guy is an engineer specializing in supercharger systems. Dumb luck, but it looks like he is going to be able to help.

Actually more than one I think. I am going to do a full inventory tomorrow and we will know for sure.

olddragger 02-19-2011 08:10 AM

well that sucks--doesnt the the person who sold him the kit have the pulleys?

hoss -05 02-19-2011 08:57 AM

I belive the person I bought the kit from was misled and told the kit was complete. He did not know it was Still missing parts at the time he sold it to me.

rotarenvy 02-19-2011 04:12 PM

it should only have the supercharger pulley and an additional idler. then there should be the auto tension idler and a new a/c idler mount. all the other pulleys are the std pulleys from what I gather.

olddragger 02-20-2011 09:35 AM

as long as you have the sc belt drive pulleys ( one on the e shaft and ones for the blower) then most others are a standard than can be ordered? Mounts--then that is a different story.
Well dang---sorry to hear of this.

hoss -05 02-20-2011 10:01 AM

No worries OD, currently working two different avenues to get a new one. No matter what I should have one in a matter of weeks. :)

Its good to have friends, mine are the best!

Richard Paul 02-20-2011 10:30 PM

Prey tell why can't you check the parts list from Hymee?
If something is missing have Mark send it to you.
That seems to be the quickest and cheapest way.

If there is some complication let me know and I'll see if I can help.
(note to supercharger gods in the sky, please don't let me regret this)

hoss -05 02-24-2011 10:45 PM

:) the rears will be much lower soon

265s +42 all around. Projects kics two peace lugs 26mm in neo chrome. It fits much more aggressive then any +42.

Mark is (has been) going through some personal turmoil right now and from what I have heard and is off the grid. But I don't want to speak for him. We will be patient and see what happens. One we get some specs then we will see what the feasibility is of having the pulley's made.

Richard Paul 02-25-2011 03:51 PM

As everyone knows Mark and I are good mates and he in fact handles my shifter sales in the Pacific. I have noticed that he hasn't been doing anything lately though. I have sent him an Email offering any help I can. That may be futial since if there were something he would already have asked.

Any machine shop can make pulleys in whatever size you need. The print for the groove is available from Gates on their site or in their engineering book. They will send you said book for free if you say you're making parts utilizing their belts.
Brackets are a different story, you will need a print either from Hymee or homemade off someone elses. A local fabricator could build you a one off bracket if need be.

Thanks, that is some good info. Any input on what the diameter of the pulley should be?

rotarenvy 02-25-2011 04:20 PM

contact ORX-800. he did the test fitting and the install on revolvers car. he is also and engineer and has the most knowledge about the kit apart from hymee.
