I have driven about 350 miles since jr worked on my car and the belt is still holding strong.
JRSC belts & pulleys: please discuss it here
I know a lot of us JRSC guys having or had problems with our belts and pulleys and a lot of time we hijacking other threads because of it, so I thought it was a good idea to start up on a thread just about jrsc belts and pulleys. The thread is not only for current jrsc peeps but also for the newbies as well so they won't get us frustrated asking the same question over and over again.
I'll start off with one question, I read around and found a member who is using a goodyear 070775 belt which is 7 rib and 77.5 inches long. I tried a dayco belt that was 77.5 long and it wasn't even anywhere close to fitting onto the 3.4 pulley. The dayco 78.9 belt fit extremely well for the purpose. What I want to know is that anyone else tried the goodyear 77.5 long on a 3.4 pulley or is it because different makers make belt a little bit different in length.

So what in hell did they find wrong, how did JR fix it and did they use any different parts than are in the kit?
Just saying "they fixed it" is useless :lame: info...all of us who live outside of CA may have to deal with this belt shred issue and we could benefit with more meat and less rice. Did they replace everyones' idler pulleys with metal ones? Or what?

I got new idler pulley, tensioner pulley, blower pulley, and p/s pulley. Took off the K24 crank pulley and everything is great! That is all I did to fix my problem. I can't speak for anyone else.

Dude, in my post above I explained what they did and what they are going to do to fix the issue.Texas-R said:So what in hell did they find wrong, how did JR fix it and did they use any different parts than are in the kit?

alpha has contributed more to this board than 95% of the people on it... his experiences have helped countless JRSC installs go smoother (including mine)... so shut your face and get lost... NOOB :firemad:

Not everyone have server problems like myself and alphassmale. It seems there are slight variations in the RSX from car to car. Only a few millimeters but enough to cause a problem. Our cars had to be customed aligned thanks to JR :thumbsup: free of chargeTexas-R said:So what in hell did they find wrong, how did JR fix it and did they use any different parts than are in the kit?

Most JRSC owners don't have this problem so it's not needed.
they really need to make a stronger tensioner system. The hole on one of my brackets isn't strip right now but im sure it's waiting to happen
Keith and Mark had some very good idea to strenghten and improve the old system. However they have to present it to the rest of JR to be approved. Everything comes down to how much money they're willing to pay in order to keep their current customers and acquire new ones.
I agree, the bracket should be made of something stronger. I stripped out the hole because of the six (? I lost count) belt changes I had to go through. I think if you dont mess around with it too much it will be fine. Otherwise be careful!tt061880 said:they really need to make a stronger tensioner system.

thnx for the compliments but I am just trying to return the favor. I have been helped by countless CRSX members, thats what makes this place great :thumbsup: :bow:lanman2000 said:alpha has contributed more to this board than 95% of the people on it... his experiences have helped countless JRSC installs go smoother (including mine)
I did read alpha's post. I wasn't talking about him. I was talking about you, you post-jacker. This is a thread about JRSC belt problems not what kinda bumper Jackson has on their car.lanman2000 said::thumbsdow

I was looking for specific mods that anyone could try that is having a problem. It's nice that some Jackson customers are close enough to them to get their cars fixed, but what about someone in say Florida? Jackson can't fly down and rent a shop to fix their car, so having specific info would be a great help. And I'm not a NOOB. I wrenched together my first hot car in 1976, my first Integra fourteen years ago and was trained by Gates/Dayco in design, installation and troubleshooting of belt drives in 1980.
Asshat? Maybe you should change your post handle to "LAMEMAN 2000" :flame:
Alpha glad to hear you got things running strong....

Btw what is a "hot car" and how do you "wrench together" a car? that sounds interesting... and i was referring to your NOOB status on this board...Texas-R said:I did read alpha's post.

take it easy guys, this thread has a lot of good info on it, I go back to this thread from time to time so the last thing we want is for this thread to be deleted.
anyone here tried out pulleyboys 9psi pulley yet? I want to step up to 9psi but I dont know if I should trust pulleyboy or not, what does everyone else think?

I have contemplated ordering from them. But, I need bigger injectors first. Almost had some 650's but the guy sold them before I could get to them.
so which do you plan on doing? k24 crank, pulleyboys 3.2", or both (both would be some sick hp for stock internals!)? i'm still up in the air on my decision.wdsonny said:I have contemplated ordering from them.

As soon as I get the KPRO I will get their pulley. I was running their 7psi pulley and I loved it. worked perfect!tt061880 said:anyone here tried out pulleyboys 9psi pulley yet? I want to step up to 9psi but I dont know if I should trust pulleyboy or not, what does everyone else think?
Do you think 650's are big enough for 9psi?WDSonny said:I have contemplated ordering from them. But, I need bigger injectors first. Almost had some 650's but the guy sold them before I could get to them.
I thought too many people were having problems running the K24 crank pulley. I thought it pushed the belt too close to the oil line. Is this true?RickSXType-S said:so which do you plan on doing? k24 crank, pulleyboys 3.2", or both (both would be some sick hp for stock internals!)? i'm still up in the air on my decision.
some had problems, some didn't. i hear the same things you do, but i haven't looked for myself. i'm just asking because i had just read in another thread where sonny said he's looking into or planning on getting the k24 cp. he needs more powah, captain!alphaSSmale said:I thought too many people were having problems running the K24 crank pulley.

It's not recommended to fuck with the crank pulley because it's hard for you to examine the alignment of the belt since that part of the car is so low down there. Blower pulley would be best because at least you can visually see how it aligns.
