Topgunz - air to air upgrade

TBatt

Ok, guys. I've been getting lots of inquiries about the kit so I have stuck my neck out and ordered enough to do four kits. I'll make the spacers this Friday and the rest of the parts should be here early next week if not before. The cost per kit is $160 plus shipping.

This may seem like a lot for what it is but the parts are expensive and the time to source everything isn't free. The nice thing is that you won't have to scrounge all of this up, you will only have to open a box and install.

I found a source for SS 12mm bolts so that is what the kit will include. Only the best for our Zs.

Damnit, I spent over half a year trying to find a pulley spacer for the 54mm pulley. I eventually had to get a machine shop to custom make one...

Not sure if someone asked this before, but any tips on cutting the extra rib off that belt or do I just take a utility knife to it?

TBatt

Yes, you can do it with a utility knife. Just use a new blade and make each cut about six inches long and about 1/16 inch deep. It will take several cuts to get all the way through. The HD belt is tough!

I'm working on a design that will cut the rib off on my lathe so it will be really clean and straight.

It doesn't. I'm probably the cheapest person on this forum and that seems like a deal.

I would have gladly paid for it, so I wouldn't have had to go to 10+ NAPAs to find out that no one knows what a pulley spacer is

TBatt

The first pulley I bought I had the twenty questions to go through at the counter, "what car is this for?". Then, you are using for this for WHAT? Take them out to the parking lot and open the hood and the HOLY ****! reaction. Made my day!

And yes, I was tired of going here and there to get maybe one part and then having to special order the parts too. I'm just trying to make my and your life a little easier.

Haha, well I kept skipping that step and told them it was for a Mercedes-Benz GL350 because their website showed that the part is compatible with that car.

I only had one shop know what a pulley spacer was, but no one could find the part for it even though I bought the pulley itself at NAPA.

Done that a ton of times over the years for the parts jockeys that can't look anything up without listing a vehicle.

Are these kits all bought already? Thanks for taking the time to explain all of that TBatt.....One more question.....will this set up cause the S/C to overspin from its rated 52K RPM?

It will not change the spin on the SC past what the pulleys are set to do. It only increases the contact (wrap) of the jack shaft pulley to reduce the chance of belt slip.

Three of the four are sold so anyone that wants one out of the first batch, speak up!

BTW: all of the parts are in and I plan on making the spacers tomorrow morning. As soon as I have all of the parts and know what size box and the total weight is I'll post here again. I'm planning on shipping via USPS Priority Flat Rate Box.

Are you willing to sell me an extra spacer just in case my shop had the wrong size made?
