Thread: Driving a GTP without a SC Belt ?

Hey lately my supercharger belt has been really loose and making some bad squeeling noises. Today it finally snapped free. I already ordered a 3.4" MPS along with a new belt from ZZP but i won't get them until this coming Monday . I was curious if it's okay to drive around only when i need to and without beating on my car just for a couple more days. Thanks.

It will be fine, but I would just buy a cheap belt.

Will any average pep boys or autozone belt work for the supercharger as long it's the same size ? If i have to order a new one im just going to wait until Tuesday for my shipment.

Mines a 2000. Thanks.

i heard its ok just as long as u dnt go WOT or sumthing.

Ya its cool i get the new mps and belt tomm

The only harm is in gas mileage. Other then that your call will be slow (unless you have some major mods).

Ok i got the mps were in business

Prepare to see just how slow an L67 is without boost haha. I say 180 to the crank if you're lucky :P

Why is it so much slower. Wouldn't it be just like a gt or regular 3800. Or is everything all geared and setup diff?

the gearing and compression ratio are different...180hp to the crank is a very generous estimate. L67s are slower than dog**** without the sc belt

VERY generous. I was origially going to say about 160 or so. Keep in mind an L36 has higher compression (9.5:1) giving it that 200bhp, and a more agressive tune. L67 is boosted so less timing, less compression, the works. Just to give you an idea. I usually put buslengths on my buddies 240sx. I took the SC belt off and ran him for ****s and giggles. It was damn near door to door, even with my mods to help out a bit.
