OsakaBen Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 Had my car serviced, new plugs, new belts - the only thing that has not been changed is the supercharger belt as I'm struggling to source one. Can anyone recommend a place to pick one up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4RE Leather Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 pm Abbey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wasso Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 Or get one direct from Vortech. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OsakaBen Posted December 29, 2012 Author Share Posted December 29, 2012 I need to see abbey in the new year anyway for a meth installation, it's not slipping anyway, just looks slightly worn. Should hold until then. Thanks for suggestions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Mcgoo Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 I have found http://www.superchargersonline.com to be cheapest for Vortech Parts. They are also very helpful if you email or call them. If your going to Abbey anyway that might be your best option, but you might want to give them a heads up so they can get one in. Not many places in the UK stock any Vortech spares. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wizard Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 Alex can help you on this. It's a GATES branded belt you can get. My 3:13 pulley takes 2034mm belt quite nicely with the tensioner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OsakaBen Posted March 2, 2013 Author Share Posted March 2, 2013 Just a bump on this, belt that is currently on seems to be a 2358 mm gates belt. Which is a fair bit over the recommended 2034mm above. However it is squeeling for 10-15 seconds on start up. I'm wondering if I should replace it with the belt that's already on there or the smaller belt.

Sam Mcgoo Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 Have you tried putting a few turns on the tensioner to stop the squealing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
