| blower belt fray... | Login/Join |
| DRR Sportsman |
Have about 60 runs on the baby blower with the cog setup and the edges are starting to fray.... I'm going to buy another belt, is there a brand that is superior to another? it's a 2" belt by the way. A buddy suggested he cured his fraying with a shorter belt. | ||

Star Racer is the best belt you can buy 272" Spitzer 540 Chevy The Blower Shop XR1 FTI XPM Series Converter FTI Level 6 Powerglide 3.69@199 .916 60' 2017 Bradenton Heads Up Madness Open Outlaw Champ 2018 PDRA T/D #5 2019 PDRA T/D #2 2020 Retired From T/D Competition.... 2020 Bradenton NMCA Hemi Shootout Winner 2021 getting back into bracket racing with a Gen3 Hemi powered 87 Cutlass. | |||

i don't believe they make 2" width belt, unless i haven't stumbled across the part numbers yet. | |||

I know this is not apples to apples due to the fact that I run a 1471 high helix. If I could even get 30 runs from a belt I would be happy. The higher the blower ratio, the higher the load will be on the belt. I chalk it up to running a blower. I replace when seeing any detrimental indicator of a upcoming failure. | |||

To caveat my last post. The gentleman who posted Star being a good belt is correct. Contact RBS superchargers for price and availability. They may also be able to assist you with the premature fraying. Very knowledgeable on blowers and drives. | |||

If it’s fraying the belt to the inside and you run a crank trigger wheel you might need the spacer kit to move the belt away from inside edge of bottom pulley. Jeff McClure | |||

I’ve got a spacer installed to compensate for the crank trigger wheel. | |||

I am on my 3rd season on the same 8mm Star racer belt and it looks brand new. 14/71 HH TBS XR1 blower. | |||

You guys have convinced me to change. Thanks | |||

A barrel shaped idler pulley can help with irregular tracking. This reduces the amount of edge chafing on the belt if everything is aligned properly. | |||
