Default Procharger Belt

Does any one know if the Gates 560-8MGT-30 and 880-8MGT-30 belts will still work if i have the 11psi pulleys? I have looked through all the 'Procharger Belt" threads on here and G35drive and cant find a anwser.

Conway I though you were going with Vortech.

Why The Procharger Kit?

They make Great SC's but the 350z kit has been a dog from the beginning.

I was going to get a Vortech, but I found a used Procharger for a price I couldn't pass up. I still really want a Vortech V2 T-Trim since I know I can get the power I would like out of it with out the worry of destroying belts and over revving the crap out of the blower.

I know the prochargers have been frowned upon from the beginning, but like I said it was the right price at the right time so now i'll bite the bullet and see what happens. I will be running the 11psi pulleys so I hope I can get close to 400whp on 91oct.

Procharger is known to shred belts with their crap pulley layout. Vortech is the way to go. Trying to save a few bucks on the front end will cost you on the back end.

You are going to be fighting with the ProCharger thru-out the whole time it's on your car, you will Never be happy with it. It's not just about HP, it's about Dependability!

You can't Cheap Out on a Build, it takes what it takes.

Do yourself a Big Favor and sell the Procharger and buy a Vortech.

Sincerely,

TimRod

I know procharger is known shredding belts due to the stupid design of the bracket, the first thing Im going to do is something like this to try to prevent belts from being shredded.

The one on the right looks similar to my radius rod for the Vortech. Looks like it would work on a Procharger without the front bracket.
