pulleys for my cobra.

[BlownSVT]

Alright, my birthday is in a couple weeks and I am pretty sure my wife is going to get me all the new pulleys for my cobra. I was on the billet flow site and it looks like there are different sizes for each pulley. I know I would like to get a 2.76 for the blower itself, but i am not sure what sizes to get for all the others. I guess I am wondering what sizes you guys who have done this already would reccomend i get. Obviously i am no expert in this area so any suggetions are appreciated. thanks guys.

I have a 2.8 and a 90mm idler. I should have dyno results in a week or so.

[Video_Master]

get the set of 4 idlers and the blower pulley and you will be set. It comes with (3) 100mm idlers and a 92mm idler. They have pictures of what idler goes where. Grand total should be around $375 - $400 for everything all together.

[BlownSVT]

thanks dave thats about what i figured in the way of cost, should be a sweet b-day gift now i am just gonna buy the intake before she realizes it so they get here at the same time.

[Video_Master]

NICE!!! If you want help installing the idlers and such just let me know and I can come help you out.

[BlownSVT]

Ya i will definitly want someone who knows what they're doing to assist. Like i said i am no expert by a long shot. I'll let you know when I have it all in my possesion, thanks alot

Doug sells blue, red,and black hard coated idler pullies now! If you dont want wear marks you should spend the extra 'ching now.

I am thinking i am going to get them in red and then get the intake painted in red also to add a little contrast in the engine bay and it should be a sort of match for the red on the interior of the car as well. i should have it all ordered up this week sometime.

[HELLFYR]

Yeah... I'll be looking at these before too long too.

Keep us posted on how it goes.

I have my exhaust upgrades to do first, then the intake.
After that will prolly be the shifter and pulleys/tune.

Will have the MRT Catted H with the Borla Stingers on here shortly.

Which reminds me... I have to order some 02 extenders.

[BlownSVT]

Does anyone have a puller at all? otherwise I will probaly just buy one along with the order.

[moddedmystic]

Rock are you running headers? If not you dont need the extensions.
~Mark

[HELLFYR]

You sure about that?

The extenders are for the REAR o2 sensors.
I don't have a tune yet to be able to shut them off.

The mid pipe pushes them way back out of the reach of the 04 sensor cable length (at least it did on my old 04 Mach 1).

[DNeinstadt]

Rod you WILL need the extenders on the '04. '03's are just long enough but the '04's are not.

Your lucky day, I have one in Albertville, I'd be more than happy to help you out.

[BlownSVT]

cool thanks, I have been wanting to meet you anyway seeing as how we are so close by each other. it funny that we never see eac other just out driving.

[BlownSVT]

hey guys who have ordered from billitflow.com Can you make the order directly from them or do you have to go through one of the distibutors linked on the page? i don''t see an area to place the order and pay on the site.

[Video_Master]

give him a call and order over the phone. Works much easier.

[BlownSVT]

I just used one of the distributors already bought and paid for. got that and a jlt cold air, more hp here we come

[Video_Master]

so did you order the 2.76 and the 4 idler setup?

[BlownSVT]

yes i did, all of them are billit flow pulleys, i got them in red and also got the intake in redfire. all i need now is the belt.but i'll worry about that tomorrow. all in all i think it cost me about 640 bux.

[BlownSVT]

Hey VM do you happen to know what the belt size is off the top of your head? and is there a local shop that stocks them normally? i seem to remember alot of people complaining about finding belts after pulley swaps.

[Video_Master]

I will look at mine in the morning and post up what I have. I bought a Gates belt online, but I am sure you could find one locally. Otherwise Napa should carry the gatorback belts which would work also but they wear easier.

[Kafn8td]

Look Here (http://stangshiftergaskets.com/BeltSelectionGuide.htm) Pick one up from any auto parts store.

Napa told me today, their belts are made by gates. So I bought one one inch shorter than stock, for my new pully.

[Kafn8td]

Green stripe, even uses the Gates part number. I have a 75" Gatorback (couple hundred miles) and a 74" Gates belt (5,000 miles) if anyone wants to buy them.

[Video_Master]

I have K080745 Gates Green Stripe on the car right now. I have the 2.76 upper pulley, (3) 100mm idlers and (1) 92mm idler. The aux idler is a 100mm one.

[BlownSVT]

doug from billitflow said belt size is stock 75.1" for the set up i ordered. the 2.76 blower pulley came today but the other 4 aren't here yet, kinda strange they didn't all just come in one box but they should all be here soon. the intake should be here tomorrow as well. so it should all be on soon i hope.

[Video_Master]

with the 75.1" I assume that you will get belt slip. I have the same setup that you ordered and I have a 74.5" belt.

[Soulfisher]

I have the 2.76 with the 4 Billetflow idlers and am still running my original stock belt with 20,000 miles. No dust showing up from belt slip, but if you check my dyno chart www.soulfisher.net (http://www.soulfisher.net/) , you see a bit of a fluctuation in the curve at high rpm that might be from slippage.

However, I don't recommend running the old belt, I just didn't have a new one when I installed the pulley and couldn't find one in town. That reminds me, I still need to take care of that.

[Kafn8td]

Soulfisher, let's meet up somewhere and you can have one of mine.

[BlownSVT]

i suppose i'll look aroound town here and see what i can find in a 74.5"

Dave one other question for ya. I have the jlt intake comeing same as yours. i was looking at the stock setup today to gauge how tough it will be to take the old one out and put the new one in. what did you do with all the stuff thats hooked up to the stock intake ie. the sensors and electronic stuff. just dissconnect it or what? just seems like some of it would be needed.
sorry if i sound dumb asking but this will be the first time i do this stuff to my own car on my own.
thanks.

thanks.You move the maf over from the stock tube to the JLT setup. Then you just pull the IAT sensor out of the grommet and move that over as well. PCV tube also disconnects from stock unit and moves over to fitting on JLT, its all actually really simple. Just take your time and if you have any doubts along the way just post here and im sure someone will get you a response asap.

[Video_Master]

yeah, just like Larry said. Move all the stuff over from the stock setup to the JLT.

[BlownSVT]

alright i think the jlt came today haven't taken it out of the box yet so i don't know exactly what i am dealing with but i am gonna check it all out here tonight, if i need help i be back on here again. thanks guys.

[BlownSVT]

well it's on there, it was a little tough just due to the tight fit, the only real issue is that the hose for the vacum line or whatever just doesn't fit tight over the part on the jlt, so i used a little apoxy and a tie to hold it in place for now but i will haev to get a smaller diameter hose here in the next few days.

[BlownSVT]

I just checked it out and it looks like my idler pulleys will be here on monday the 28th.
so if you're up for it shawn i have tuesdays off, or any nights after around 6:30

Sounds good.

[BlownSVT]

it all arrived today so all i have left to get is a 74.5" belt i am going to check around town in the morning and see if any of the nappa's have on in stock. shawn if you are free tomorrow and feel like coming over here or however we work it out that would be sweet. as far as i am concerend anyone who wants to come hang out or lend a hand is welcome.

[BlownSVT]

Just want to give a big thanks to shawn for all the help last night so thanks again man I owe ya one. how are your arms feeling today after putting that belt on? lol
now just got the fluidyne to go in.

[Grenade]

You're welcome, It actually went fairly smooth. Your belt is as tight as it get's. You'll like the 50+hp increase, once it's tuned.

[BlownSVT]

i went to db tonight after work and as long as everything goes smooth with the 2 cars he has lined up in the morning he's gonna work me in tomorrow afternoon. so with any luck i be pounding pavement hard tomorrow night.

Sweet. I feel a side-by-side comparison test coming on.

[BlownSVT]

i am going to be getting an sct tuner from db tonight to get atleast some sort of tune so i can run it a bit through the weekend and then going back on tuesday for some tweaking on the dyno.
