Also for informations sake the blower pulley I will be attempting to fit is for a lt4 ctsv with the whipple kit.  May be dead on but could require some adaptation.

Jared,

 

Was that everything you need short of the blower pulley? I need to get something going as I've got pretty bad belt slip.

I think I added one more larger idler to try after this order but other than that yes.  I have the puller for the balancer coming in tomorrow and I’ll knock this out and let you know any troubles.  I do have a spare water pump handy I expect that to be the troublesome one.  But Chris rose from iw said he didn’t have much trouble getting his off his truck to spec out for the kit.  The car pulleys can be a real pain but in the past the trucks have been easier for me.  What’s your setup now?  Pulley size etc

I know I’ve gotten by with adding the 100mm idler to get a smidge more belt wrap in previous builds.

Has anyone completed the 8 rib conversion? I've been desperately trying to figure it out I keep slipping/shredding belts on my procharger silverado any help would be greatly appreciated  thanks

I’m doing it right now should be finished tomorrow .  I’m supposed to write up some instructions for innovators West so I’ll post them here as well

I will say you will need an adp tool for the alternator, a three jaw balancer puller, and the water pump will use a standard three jaw puller and needs a press for installIng the new pulley.  Removing the impeller/shaft/pulley from the housing is the only way to do it but it’s super easy if you notice there are 6 holes in the pulley which make it really easy to get to.

Also the blower pulley I’m using is a 3.00 from weapon x that is designed for an lt4 ctsv with a whipple.  Lines up well with the other pulleys ,  this idler needs spacing away from the whipple idler bracket it rubs against it

Ok I’m installIng the balancer today and pressing on the water pump pulley to the exact depth.  On the two water pumps I have the pulley measures .6 “ from the back of the pulley to the face of the pump mounting /sealing surface.  Should fire it up today but I had to order new stretch fit belts for the ac and vacuum pump

Got the last pulley on !  My belt calculation was about an inch off I didn’t account for the iw pulleys being different than stock diameter to offset the 10% od on the balancer .  All pulleys are aligned within .005”!!!!! I think I get to say I’m the very first 8 rib l86!!!!9A006A09-B9C1-4DB1-BAE6-56848FDEE6EF.thumb.jpeg.7b407c2e5cded1538e819d642615576a.jpeg

I actually am about to take them off and run a 33x15x15 mt pro drag.  I have a couple little things to finish then I’ll see what it can do :)

    • Monday looks like a good day for the dealer to test an ac issue. Hopefully it all turns out good.
    • Paid $2.72 for E85 today.
    • Welcome back! No, it definitely doesn't pass the sniff test. Even "ceasefire" needs an alternative definition these days.    $5.29 at Kroger today
    • That makes sense, and I think you are describing the real product problem. Capturing data is the easy part. If the owner or technician has to manually dig through five minutes of millisecond-level logs, the product has already failed. The device would be at the ECM harness, not at the OBD port, so I agree that data retrieval and event marking need to be thought through carefully. The way I am thinking about the architecture is: The recorder itself should not depend on a phone, app, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, or cloud connection to capture the event. It should always keep a local rolling buffer and lock the event locally. A button, phone app, or small cabin device would only act as an event marker. If the driver feels a stumble and presses the button 10–30 seconds later, the pre-buffer has to already contain the useful data. For data retrieval, the practical options would be a sealed service USB lead, Wi-Fi download, or a phone/cabin companion device. I would not expect the owner to remove the ECM-side module or work with raw files directly. The cloud or AI side would be for interpretation, not for capturing the event. The truck may have no connection when the issue happens, so the evidence has to be saved locally first. After that, cloud processing could help decode the data, compare it against baselines, and generate a readable report. For the first version, I would keep the automatic triggers conservative and objective: driver event marker bus-off error passive voltage drop / brownout device reset FIFO or queue overflow a normally periodic message disappearing side-to-side communication mismatch, if the topology supports that For “learning normal,” I agree with your point, but I would not want to overclaim it as automatic root-cause diagnosis at first. A realistic first step would be learned baseline comparison for that specific vehicle and operating condition. For example, a value would only be compared against similar conditions: RPM range load / MAP throttle position gear / vehicle speed coolant and oil temperature battery voltage AFM/DFM state, if decoded and validated Then the report could flag things like: this periodic message disappeared compared with its normal timing this value deviated from this vehicle’s normal range under similar conditions the same abnormal pattern repeated after the same type of event the anomaly occurred together with voltage, oil-pressure, misfire, or communication changes But I would still call that “abnormal pattern detected,” not “replace this part,” unless there is enough validated repair data behind it. So the intended product would not be “here is a huge log.” It would need to be an event package: what triggered the capture how much pre/post data was preserved what changed before and after the event whether the device itself reset, overflowed, or saw a bus error selected graphs around the event raw data only as supporting evidence From your perspective, what would make this kind of report useful instead of just another datalog? For example: What are the top 5 parameters or events you would want highlighted first? Would you trust a learned baseline for that specific vehicle, or would you prefer fixed thresholds? How much false-positive flagging would be acceptable before you stopped looking at the reports? What would a one-page report need to show for an independent shop to take it seriously? For misfire, AFM/DFM, oil pressure, or U-code complaints, what would you want the tool to flag automatically?
