That would be tragic, especially since there may now be only one kit left

thats my thoughts also--just the sc drive needs to be bigger--heck even a 7 rib would be better.
Ask Cam about this and what it would take--he may want to offer a kit--even though he says that a 5 rib will hold . I think that was the days before the larger crank pulley was offered?
I will also try to ask around.

/I could be wrong.

if you just want another 3rd pulley integrated it is easy. if you can get me an offset to where your sc pulley sits in relation to the air-con drive and the diameter you need. I can send you a drawing for you to have one made. I was quoted $300 AUD to have one made and anodised.
I ended up getting a mate to turn one up for me. mine has a 6 rib drive like the SR motorsports wide grip belts.

The offset; I was thinking as little as possible, one thickness of about 1/16 to 1/8 inch. (that's why I want one pulley to run them all)
Diameter of the blower drive is 5 inches.
For a belt with 8 or 10 ribs. (I am wondering if the 10 rib will clear the power steering)

engine coolant tank problem
OK !
I just discover that, because of the heat, my coolant tank (the engine one, not the S/C's) start to broke !!
I do not want to replace it with an OEM one ... where can I find something stronger which can respect the coolant configuration ?
thanks,

yep! it was 40F on the way to work this a.m. The car was a little frisky.
Ya mean we arent holding 11 lbs of boost? At what rpm was the 9.6?
Good to hear from ya Juan. How is it Bro?
You really need to upgrade your motor mounts to enjoy the snap the cold weather brings

hes also seen one car that used a very simular strut bar to the MS bar as a reservoir and just weld a flange with a fill cap on it,,, Its pretty custom but with it being in an area where its right in the middle of the heat that really doesnt seem ideal,,,

Question from someone not in the know -- why are the engine coolant reservoirs cracking with the Pettit s/c kit?
Are coolant temps that much hotter? Or is it heat from the engine bay that's cracking the tanks? I almost wonder if a cheap fix with be a plastic overflow coolant tank from a car which runs forced induction from the factory? It might be designed to withstand hotter temps. Would a MS3 coolant tank be a direct fit I wonder?

I dont think anyone's has cracked we are all just trying to keep pace with Denny,,,,
Hey Norm, talked to Cam last night, he says its better to be on the conservative tune with the bigger pulley,,,,
he also has some other stuff coming down the pipes but Im not sure that Im supposed to mention it,,,
