If you have not heard, there is now a six rib belt setup for the Stillen SC.

Just google Stillen 350z 6 rib belt

I have the parts and just waiting for them to be installed. It includes a whole new mounting plate. Hopefully, it will solve the belt eating behaviour.

 

It will but the price(stillen does it again)will kill you,plus you have to take off the blower again.

 

Welcome to 2006.

 

Ouch.

 

Ok, here is a picture of the new 6 rib belt setup. It is NOT a modified cut belt like the 4 rib, but a factory made 6 rib belt. The mount moves the SC backward and centers it better. This looks like a much more robust setup and probably is how it should have been done in the first place.

 

Boost #'s??

 

Since the boost is only to 6psi I never put on a boost gauge. Funny thing is, I don't hear the usual screaming whine with the six rib belt. Maybe I am so used to the noises I forget what it sounds like stock. I disconnected, and plugged, the vacuum line to the cutoff valve, thinking the vacuum cutoff was not working, but still no whine. Very strange.
