Travis,
Sorry for not seeing this post until Sunday. If I can get my laptop to remote access to the shop I will gladly get you a quote together.

If anything else I will back in the office Tuesday and will take care of it then. Shoot me a PM if you have any questions.

I found this discussion between Jay and you. So this must mean you dont need a AC bracket made to replace the AC to delete it. Just another belt smaller belt, correct?

The AC delete is pretty easy. Once you snatch the compressor off replace the stock belt with a Gates K060500. This is a 6 rib belt rather than the stock 7, however it should be fine as it will have no compressor load. Lace the belt through the; power steering, alternator, tensioner and crank pulley normally. Then only use the upper most grooved pulley to complete the loop. We removed the AC side smooth idler and the center ribbed idler as they have no use in this configuration.''

^ yes. I believe the Gates belt # you want is

# K070750

... found that in an old email... could be wrong so don't blame the messenger!

SPOHN · 07-15-2012, 06:44 PM

OK. Thanks

glad to hear your engine isn't trashed!

travisjb · 07-28-2012, 12:10 PM

Things are moving along at CIN Motorsports... thought I'd share some pics from the recent trip to VIR

Starts well

Last time anyone will see this particular rear diffuser

Back on track after some quick repairs

And then may day was over... thankfully, the engine is fine and it looks like the car simply overheated and an oil hose disconnected as the car was shutting down. No permanent damage - it's all coming back together as I type

thanks to Photography by F and S Enterprises for these preview pics

Hopefully will hit either ChumpCar or TrackDaze in August at VIR... maybe Chin at RA

travisjb · 07-28-2012, 12:14 PM

Another set of Forgestar wheels on the way... will have 10x10" and 3x11" (one spare) with mix of R6s and NT01s

Going to sell the HRE wheels I bought a while back... didn't clear my rear AP Racing BBK - let me know if interested

Hey Travis, can you post a close up of your Gurney flap on your AeroMotions wing. It's something i want to do to my AM wing. I PM'd you a while back, with no response. It' something I want to do before i run at NOLA Motorsports Park Sept. 24th. Thanks in advance bro. BTW, nasty Z.

Also how you attached it to the wing surface would be greatly appreciated bro. Thanks.

tkramwinkel · 08-23-2012, 04:56 AM

hey travis,

can i get an image of your engine where you deleted the AC? i can't imagine how the belt goes without the AC. or does someone have an drawing for me?

thank you
thomas

DEpointfive0 · 01-21-2013, 06:57 AM

Awesome!

How many miles and track days have you had with your under drive pulley?

wstar · 01-21-2013, 08:49 AM

I think he took his off when he started the supercharger project a year ago or so? And then blew an engine, and then started over with another used block. Or something like that

scruffydog · 01-21-2013, 11:33 AM

sorry to hear what happened to your car, hopefully you'll get it up and running soon enough.

travisjb · 01-21-2013, 05:26 PM

thanks, it's running fine now... the ud pulley was not the issue but don't need one with sc setup at all and trying to avoid those given pot'l havoc some suggest

car has been on the track a few times last six months and continuing to refine the sc setup for reliability... not much to report right now, but at some point this spring i will do a refresh pic/video doc of the car... goal for '13 is more seat time... '12 was only 4-5 weekends due to mech issues and a move/job change
