I dont think hell get a lot of slippage - not the best way of doing it - and I suspect hell be going through alternaters fairly often as he is using it likean idler. the belt has over 1/2 pulley wrap - thats not going to slip too often




What he said. Looks like plenty of wrap for a small blower. He might have slippage problems if he tries to crank the boost beyond 12 psi or so though.

I'll also agree on the alternator, he runs a pretty high risk of eating alternator bearings.


Balance is the Key. rarasvt@comcast.net
