Belt drive turbo etec
- Thread starter dooitbig
- Start date
Ran one all last year no problems also have on on my NA xp.
Turbos wind up and will be easy on belts, more so than a BB that hits hard and will test the system.
No problems at all.
Just don't over tighten the belt, loose is better. Found that out the hard way.
How loose do find find for best setting? what happened when she was tight?Is there any suggested break in period on the belt?

I thought I set the tension right but put it on the tight side, like giving that bolt an extra pull when you shouldn't. I noticed right away, a wine when I let of of the throttle. Thought that might be a normal belt wine. Not. While it lasted almost a full season, it put enough of a strain on the idler bearings that it allowed the two idlers to touch and creat enough heat to melt the belt. I have since run the belt looser, no wine, no heat, nothing but reliable for two full seasons and the belt looks like new.
I started packing a spare belt in my pack or in my truck, but have complete confidence in the system now.
There was no break in (not that I would have done that), The only thing I had to do was to blow out some excess blue coating, from the belt, after the first couple of rides.
C3 gave me a great deal on the parts I needed to get running. Great service.

Running C3 Belt drive on my TSS Etec with 10lbs no problems so far, TSS runs belt drives on most of their sleds too no problems.
