For anyone running a Gen V- I am having a belt wrap kit fabbed up tomorrow if the shop isn't closed for a race. Similar to the one below but with a few differences (rotate bar 90* and have third attachment to alt bracket for more support). This simple design is stronger than the W-Body Store's belt wrap kit. You can run a 6 or 8 rib belt depending on your setup. The pictures below are of a crude design and I hope mine will be a little more ascetically pleasing... This is not my car. Let me know if anyone has an interest in this and I can get more made. Price will be addressed next week.

Because you are not running the tubes to a bracket from the sc snout, like the older wrap kit version, I guess they would. SC snout housing has a different bolt pattern between the two but the sc mounting holes are in the same place. I'm making it for a Gen V and if you think it will work on a Gen III fantastic. I just want it to work for my Gen V.

It's pretty cool when you have to start worrying about if a 1"x1.5" solid aluminum bar bends..twisted twisted

Got it done yesterday. What a difference!

Very basic design but strong as hell. It dosen't flex at all. I might have the top machined to match the fuel logs.

Did you change the snout too, or just sandblast it clean?

how do you know when the s/c belt is slipping? wouldnt a shorter belt solve the problem if it was?

You know a belt is slipping by observing a sharp loss in boost at a certain (usually high) RPM. Sometimes you can hear some brief slipping as a "chirp", but this is normal, and doesn't result in a hindered performance. It's just the inertia of the blower trying to slow down after letting off the gas.

A shorter belt will add tension, but it does not help with belt wrap/contact. Very small SC pulleys tend to slip more because A) they spin the blower faster, requiring more torque, and B) they have less contact area for the belt to grip. This cannot be solved only by adding tension. You must sometimes relocate the belt route so that it wraps around the SC pulley better.

The Riviera's stock SC belt routing is better designed than on a Regal GS or GTP, so we can usually run smaller pulleys without much slip.

To some extent, you can help the issue by choosing your idler and tensioner pulley sizes carefully.

AA- I hope you are not insinuating that I did not take into consideration my pulley sizes when building my motor... wink

Not at all - looks to me like you put plenty of consideration into that idler!

Codith,
All my pulleys have been changed to the 3.5" 8 rib. I will check on the belt size today... keep in mind I am running a oversized ballancer and 2.8" SC pulley with belt wrap.

Rick,
It has been a while and I will have to find the invoice but I think the belt wrap cost me aroung $150-$175 for a machine shop to fabricate the belt wrap kit. That included the materials, pulley, and longer bolts too.

You are running an ATI balancer? That's good to know because that would have screwed me up a little bit. I'll be using ZZP's powerbond 8rib balancer. I've got a beltwrap kit essentially just like yours for the genV and a set of 8rib idlers in 3" and 3.5". My hope was to be able to fluctuate between a few pullies using one belt like I have been up to this point. That 4+" grooved idler pulley has been a godsend for me but I won't be able to use that on the 8rib so I'm trying to get just the right belt. Having a riv instead of a gtp makes this a little more tough...

That's the beltwrap I have BTW. I think it should be functionally the same as what you have. Travis testifies he's a great guy with great stuff in case anyone is looking for something to stop slip.

Did you check the belt size by chance?
btw did you change the the tensioner pulley because in the pics you posted of your car, it looks like that ones a 3" I just want to double check.
