By-passing Supercharger

uvbnhad · 03-16-2006, 07:33 AM

I was reading somewhere yesterday that it is possible to by-pass the supercharger to go back to NA. My question is would this do-able on the side of the road somewhere if the belt lets go? I read where people are using their stock belt to do this but would you still have to unbolt the bracket to swap back to NA? What is the belt routing path?

Yeah I think it is possible at least that's what ATI told me.

I don't see how it would be possible on a mod motor

Vortech also says it's possible but I don't think it's possible to do in an emergency type situation.

Yeah it could be done but it's nothing you'd want to do on the side of the road.

You would have to have a different belt and a new route to do that

It's a different length belt using the same belt routing (minus the SC, of course).
