8. BELT AND BELT TENSIONER INSTALLATION

A.

Due to the various pulley diameters and

accessory locations, belts for the factory

accessories will need to be sourced

independently. Installing the belts that

were removed, and marking or cutting them

to the desired length, before purchasing

new belts, may most easily accomplish this.

B.

Install all of the accessory drive belts.

C.

Loosely install the supercharger belt

tensioner plate onto the face of the

supercharger using 12mm x 20mm bolts

and washers.

D.

Install the supercharger belt around the

supercharger and crank pulleys.

E.

Install the supplied smooth idler and spacer

onto the belt tensioner plate using 12mm

hardware.

F.

Rotate the belt tensioner assembly until the

belt is tight and tighten the bolts.

G.

Tighten the supercharger pulley retainer

assembly to 35 ft/lbs if pulley was not

installed at Vortech.
