Hehe yes 25GTT it does make a similar sound doesn't it.

I have had several supercharged cars with toothed blower belt drive and know that it is not a simple thing. Trying to convince yourself that it is more efficient and "makes power" is bullshit.

If you do some research you will find conventional vee groove pulleys are around 92% to 95% efficient depending on power transmitted, belt tension, and belt speed. If your alternator and waterpump takes say three horsepower to drive, the belt loss is going to be around 5% or 0.15 Hp.

If you discover a 100 % efficient drive that extra 0.15 Hp is really going to make your car haul some ass at the saturday night drags, eh !

Toothed belts

Advantages

* Efficiency is high

* Lower belt tension is required (less bearing load)

* Efficiency does not depreciate significantly over life

* No slip (important if the items need to be synchronised)

Disadvantages

* Cost

* Noise

* Transmission of shock loading

Vee Belts can have comparable efficiency. The problem is that this efficiency can be substantially decreased with improper installation and maintenance is not correct.

Most of these are industrial considerations.

power has very little to do with belt slippage... its the rpm that causes it mainly, sure minor issue is inertia from quick engine acceleration but its changes in revs and high revs that cause belt tension issues and slippage... so hondas would benefit if they are good hondas like type r's and nsx's...still no word on if this is actually happenin or not????

      Who has a Infiniti Q60, Q50 (V37)?

      By sonicii · Posted

      Yep, it was only an option on the Q50 Hybrid.  Same in Japan as far as I know. And doesn't use a centre diff like the Suby's do, so not the same as the WRX.  But it also isn't a reactive AWD like other Nissan AWD vehicles are, eg. Murano/Xtrail/etc.

      You should have got a Maine Coone then. Only thing is they're big. But so cool, and just like a dog. Or, just get yourself a high performance dog. That'll teach you for wanting Parkour indoors 😛

      Are you thinking of Bens R32? I don't remember if his went through the bonnet itself, but it went through the chassis rail. Brad (RISKIN) bought it, and turned it into a track car. It's funny how anti people are of Jim Berry now. I remember when I pulled mine out (during an engine change) and inspected it and found it cracking badly. At that point in time so many people were even on SAU, were so pro Jim Berry, and that was after Bens GTR exploded his quite publically.

      That's one of the reasons I got that breed, they look weird, the other reasons are they small, they are very vocal, and run around like they are on crack, I didn't want a breed that just sits around, these two are like kids on red cordial  My daughter has one, and it's a laugh riot, constantly doing Parkour around the house, sits on her shoulder, plays catch, and constantly runs around the house taking turns chasing the dog around, her Bermese though, just lays around with constant bitch face, and just looks on in utter disgust at the cat and dog playing together

      I'm getting PTSD flashbacks seeing that name again.  With my turbo swift, I got 1,500km of street use on a Jim Berry clutch before it exploded and took out my input shaft with it.
