Got a hold of a new belt wrap kit from the crossfire friends.

Running it now with a 181mm crank pulley and OEM SC pulley.

Ohhh shiny...

Can we run this with 185 pulley? it looks like it replaces the idler pulley, tensioner pulley as well?

Benefits of running this vs. PSK?

Yes, this kit replaces idler pulley and the tensioner pulley. Also the alternator pulley, if you want one. I ran out of time and tools needed to remove the alternator pulley and for now running things with the OEM alternator pulley. Benefits over PSK are in the "eye of the beholder". Rob from NW is a super guy with great customer service. This new kit from Chris (who is also a super guy with great customer service) has more belt wrap and is better looking. Otherwise they are very similar in function.

Looks pretty compared to the PSK.
Lenin, and thanks for cross posting more new toys for the 32. The crossfire guys are really innovative. Another product that I would have never known about unless you posted it. Cheers,

We get as much info from this forum as you get from ours. I have the PSK and it's worked flawlessly so I'm staying with it. But man o man, the bling is seductive.

Thanks for the info. This belt wrap kit does look better than PSK. How much was it, if you don't mind me asking?

+1 on loving the 32. I just washed and waxed my car yesterday and it looks so good, despite being 11 years old.

This kit can be configured for set-ups with a stock crank pulley AND with the 178. 181, and 185 crank pulleys. It is available with 2 different choices for Alternator under-drive pulleys.

Here is a pic showing the complete kit for use with the 61 or 65 mm SC pulley (also works with stock SC pulley) which uses the factory length belt. The alt pulley shown here creates a 15% under-drive (when used with the stock crank pulley as shown).


Cheers,
Chris

I believe I paid under $400 for all 5 pulleys and the bracket. As far as I know, Latemodel21 has a couple of them left.
