Hello,

We have a rev-up 06 350z here with a full Vortech Supercharger kit installed. We have had the kit on for maybe 8 months and about 4k miles. I drove the car a few times the past couple weeks since the weather was nice here in Ohio. I popped the hood today to clean up etc... and notice that the serp belt sheared off a perfect 1/4 inch width off belt and was just hanging there not really tangled in anything... I also noticed when this happened the belt severed all the wires going to a small blue harness plugged into the driver side timing cover... what is this for? there are no extra lights on the dash and performance seems normal etc...

I already have an extra belt so I will replace that... what to do with this harness? Safe to drive a few miles to a shop? Thanks for the info

I do not have my phone with me nor a digital camera... so i tried to make this random pic below haha for reference to look like my motor.

 

Would a sensor for the valve timing or something like that? I'm not too technical, but it seems like that.

 

i guess the other question would be why the belt sheared... the side it came off of was towards the front of the vehicle.. the belt deflection is within spec.. between 1/2 inch and inch of play... it has jumped a rib or 2 off the last pulley near the blower twice opposite the cog pulley.. i chalked it up to it being too loose... maybe something is off center or out of line.

 

I figure it would be some sort of a sensor for that... i noticed 03-05 Z motor pics do not have this... thats why i had to use paint program to show it... but performance was good.. i was on it pretty good a few times last night and popped the hood this morning...

I am not too technical either I know clutches, flywheels and suspension haha and I stop after that.

 

update... monday i tried to limp the car back home... but after a red light and 3000 rpm in 2nd gear it died and would not start... no noise. no smells etc... just cranks and then doesnt turn over...

 

Any reason you can't just resplice the connector back on?

 

i cant find a pic of rev-up motor, but pretty sure its the IVT solenoid wiring. you can try to resplice. when my cog belt snapped it shorted out my IVT wires on my non-revup and fried my ecu.

good luck

 

OOOhhh I am checking ointo resplice tomorrow and was also told to check my ems fuse near the battery... we'll see

 

UPDATE!!! if I cannot resplice this harness... you cannot just replace it... you have to purchase an entire new engine harness anyone good with wires in NorthEast Ohio
