stillen s/c issue
ok, i know there are a lot of guys with stillen s/c here. is anyone else having problems with the main belt wearing out too fast? i'm going to get a 3rd now. we did replace the pulley due to vibration and the new one they sent is not alined correctly. stillen claims they are only good for like 6k miles. wtf? i have may be 3k since i got the s/c installed and going on the 3rd now.
this is the old pulley and you can see the belt wearing out on the outside.
this is the new one. and still i'm having issues.

i guess the nice things about it is that it went to the stock engine. i mean the car was running just fine
well, the car is in the shop for now and i'll give an update when i get back from europe in 3 weeks.

Man, this sounds exactly like the problems with the Stillen Vortech SC kits for the 95-01 Maximas. With those set-ups, it's terribly common for the belts to shred/snap and then tensioner pulley to wear out. The problem lies in Stillen's poor R&D of the pulley set-up and use of subpar materials. Stillen's stand is "you're on your own", but we'll sell you what you need to fix it for an ungodly price.

well, i'm back. took my car from the shop and it looks to be fixed. turns out the pulley on the other side was too close (or too far from the other one). that could have been the problem with the noise in the begining. stillen sent a new pulley with a spacer to align the two together. anyway, for now it's fixed and i'll see after a few weeks if the belt starts wearing out again. nice to be back in my g after driving a MB G320 - mafia car in europe
