Well yesterday got to installing the stgII belt I had bought from the dealerand he 60's I got from Hunterkiller.

waing for a retune from vince. Car still dd's fine, but at WOT at 12-13 psi it misfires a lot and during decel my exhaust pops too. So yeah I need a retune. Hopefully. And my clutch doesn't like me right now, so hard to get it to not slip under wot, hope I can atleast datalog a few times

cool im waiting for my tune also

 

[sloancallaway]

looks good jn... although I think what you need is a tvs... how long till we see you with one

 

[Tom]

very nice, question does Vince charge for each additional adjustment after the initial tune?

i would like to kno this as well

i would like to kno this as well

it depend, if you go from SC to turbo, there is a chance

for minor adjustement i should not be a trouble.

if you are proud to be trifected, we never know what can happen

I wouldn't mind a tvs. But on my stock engine only benefit is efficient power vs the m62 being on a 2.8. And I can't justify 2grand on it. Not for stock engine. Although I do plan for it in the future when I build a engine. So I would say ETA is june/July of 2010.

Yes there is normally a adjustment charge. Depends on what ur changing. Really depends on ur tuner and the situation.

**** my car and all its problems, STILL having the same issue, i sent a datalog to vince, and he said its too rich, i cant get more than 13psi under load aka WOT in any gear, if i rev it in neutral i can get 15psi but i can still feel the car not wanting to rev, almost like misfires, i sent vince a new log to see what he says

are you running a 5 ribs strap

 

[Jn2]

yes i have to, my crank, alternator, and AC condensor are all 5 rib, its one of the things we 2.2/2.4's have to do, cut one rib off the belt, doesnt make a difference in performance, works just as well

 

[huckernage]

someone (sully) in ontario province has to swap for 5 to 6 ribs straps according to vince

 

[stenguyen1]

i think you will love your car cuz on mine i got a 2.9 pulley and i love how it pulls now. its ridiculous.

 

[huckernage]

sully says : Except with small pulleys you have to do a 6 rib conversion

 

[Jn2]

He's on crack, don't need to change anything. # of ribs don't make a diffrence.

 

[huckernage]

I mean to get more boost with a smaller pulley you need to swap to a 6 rib
jon dit (11:34) :
15psi is high boost
Sul dit (11:34) :
Yup

 

[stenguyen1]

You do not need a 6 rib for a smaller pulley. the belt is just as strong if it has 5 ribs on it. i haven't seen anyone lose boost or slip with 5 ribs. i am boosting 15 pounds and i still haven't had belt slip or lose boost.

Yeah surface area has nothing to do with the amount of friction created

I'm going to go change my 275mm tire out for rubber bands

 

[Tom]

only thing i dislike about the cutting of the belt is the chance its compromising its integrity, im sure when cut right its not a issue, i just dont like the idea....but dosent matter since i will be cutting a belt in the future lol...just wish there was a belt made for it....
