Any one know where I can get a non under drive dual alternator pulley?



And what are the best belts money can buy.



https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683621.gif I had my alternator belt break on me on the road and since I have no air pump it was the only belt runing the water pump and fanclucth. So it started to overheat so i pulled to the side and went to discount autoparts but the only belts the had where some dayco top cog ****. Since I had no tools with me I had to buy a small tool kit but no socket to loosen the ac blet tensioner, out came the pocket knife and with a snip of the wrist the ac belt was off LOL! ! ! put on the alt belt and went on my merry way.



The moral of the story is



I DONT WANT ANY MORE ******* BELTS BREAKING ON ME ON THE STREET ! ! ! !

I want peace of mind with the belts at least

that doesn't really have anything to do with what he is talking about.



When you remove the smog pump the alternator tends to squeal and snap belts. The dual pully keeps that from happening.

RX7 13B 4 UR AZZ 08-25-2003 06:02 AM

That is what I dont want I dont want to be stuck in traffic and see my temp going up quick and blowing my "HEADS" LOL j/k having a belt break on you is souch a pain in the ass. It is something so small but if you are caught off gaurd you are stuck.



I am still per say breaking in my engine since it came off my donor 88 SE but since I did the swap my self im still even after 500 miles of flawless operation I look at my gauges every miinute. Not to sure of my mechanic skills if you know what I mean.



At least with the dual alt pulley and a good set of goodyear gatorback belts(which I was told are the best) I will have "PEACE OF MIND"

That is what I want with my car but then again I want N2O so go figure LOL. Its the little **** that pisses me off.

j9fd3s 08-25-2003 02:20 PM

you're supposed to periodically check stuff like that so it doesnt leave you stuck

I had the same problem you had buddy. I didnt want to put on a dual alternator pulley because I knew the belts would still pop. So, I took my car to a shop down here in miami and the guy told me it was the fan clutch. He said my fan clutch was indirect and I needed a fan that's clutch was direct. Now it's been a year since I put in the new fan and not once has the belt broke.

RX7 13B 4 UR AZZ 08-25-2003 11:42 PM

where in miami are you at. And I have the stock fan clucth. I think putting the dual alternator pulley with the goodyear belts will do the trick https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/bigok.gif

turbo2power 08-26-2003 07:37 AM

I live in hialeah but I work down in kendall. I had a stock fan clutch also. I knew if I would of put on a dual pulley the belts would still break cuz the real problem was my fan clutch. I put on a 91 fan and the belts have not broken once yet.

RX7 13B 4 UR AZZ 08-26-2003 07:52 PM

I live in hielah too well miami springs my backyard is the canal to okeechobee. You got to let me drive your car I never got to drive a TII LOL. Well I ordered the dual alt pulley and going to get the gatorback belts this week.

JerryLH3 08-26-2003 09:29 PM

On the topic of "best belts money can buy", I was impressed with both Goodyear Gatorbacks and Dayco Top Cog. The Goodyears lasted well over 30K miles and two years before I replaced them. Showed little cracking, probably could have gone longer. The Daycos have lasted a year and seen over 20K miles. They look great too.

RX7 13B 4 UR AZZ 08-26-2003 10:01 PM

im sticking with good year. Im also going to get the radiator hoses and stuff from them. and their wheels.

This kit is $294.99 plus shipping, would take a day to get in stock or less since Atkins is local.



I'll have it added to the store within a couple hours.

banzaitoyota 08-28-2003 02:08 PM

My serpentine setup was a FREEBIE!!!!

RX7 13B 4 UR AZZ 08-28-2003 11:44 PM

That serpentine set up is raw as **** but the thing im in miami and 90 degree days with 70% humidity feels like 100+ so unless they have a A/c serpentine to it is Kinda out of the question though.



(BUT DAMN THAT IS NICE)

mazdaspeed7 08-29-2003 12:45 AM

You use the stock pulley for the a/c and p/s if you have it. The serpentine part only replaces the 2 belts that go to the water pump/alternator/air pump.
