I have been having continous belt issues. I think that I finally figured it out, however, I am about to take a road trip. If I am on the road and I am to lose one of my SC belts (provided that I don't lose my alternator-ps belt) , can I continue to drive highway speeds? I will be bringing spare belts, I was just wondering if the SC isn't spinning and I am driving 70mph do you think that it would be okay?

This question is geared for those that already have the SC or have knowledge of such question. Thanks!!!!

 

yes you can,i lost the 4 rib belt 90 miles from home and had no problem at all.i did miss the boost though.

 

I have driven a couple of times without the belt on my Vortech in one of my other cars. I have not had any issues.

 

Thanks guys!!!!!

 

I have no idea, but won't there be a problem with the tune + no boost? I'd assume you'd get too much fuel or something, but I wouldn't know. Just curious.

 

I drove mine without the belt to the store to get a new belt when I over tightened it. If you are going to take a trip I would bypass the SS box and put it back to stock. It still won't be as fast as it was N/A because of the blower blocking air instead of pushing air.

 

If anything, I thought that the mileage should improve. Less air = less fuel, right? The split second box will notice less air right? And it will provide less fuel, no? I'd rather leave the SS box on. What do you think?

 

I'm not sure if it will be able to work like that or not. Just call Stillen and see what they say. I'm sure you are not the 1st to ask this.

 

Naw making that phone call would be too hard for me. j/k.

I honestly don't know why I didn't even think about calling them to begin with. Duh!!!

 

I drove a couple days while my belt was broken. Stillen sucks a$$ as we all know. I ordered my belt with overnight shipping on a Monday, and didn't receive it until Friday! Anyways, the car ran, but was much slower than stock
