Wasn't aware the convo turned from 600hp cars to 1200hp
Hellion twin turbo vs. Paxton supercharger
- Thread starter HELLION TURBO
- Start date
I like to use my belts to hold my Levi's
DTR, what engine management/tuner are you using on that beast of a Hellion Twin Turbo that makes copious quantities of ice cold turbo boost? :banana:
I like taking belts off
Just the regular SCT X3, tuned by JPC.
at the 1000+ mark, you are going to have to start using all the tricks for belt slip, 850-900 really shouldn't have any issues. Your still using the stock tensioner system though.
All the bracketry is fixed, the only issue I see with breaking a belt is going to come into play when hitting a limiter and snapping the tensioner / belt. That can happen. But that is going to be in the tune / driver.

Indeed.
I can tell you there are LSX guys (especially corvette bros) making big power without belt issues. Look at some of the stuff A&A corvette and ECS have done. Vengence racing...
I'm not sure why that hasn't translated into Mustangs. Yet. I'm also confused why someone making big power wouldn't utilize a cog set-up, or some of the other tips and tricks to avoid belt slip.
This. The F1 and big vortech guys I all know run COG setups.
A lot of the procharger guys do, we haven't really had an issue with belt slip, so not really a need to develop one for the coyote
Juiced me and Kelly are friends but what he does and I do are totally different. One of the biggest problems I see is dirty pulleys which makes the belt slip. Also guys think the smallest pulley is better and sometimes it's not. Also running the tensioner in the sweet spot helps figuring the right belt size makes that happen.
These little things make a difference and why some guys run better then others.

Ya, I'm not comparing you two--I'm just saying it was a supercharger car that had a lot of belt issues and I would think his stuff would be top notch.

Now this does not happen for high elevation guys though! ;(
Those of us at altitude are quickly learning that turbo is the way to go. A few of us have ran blowers and had to pulley them down till belts slip or break to try and make up for the thin air. While turbos aren't a silver bullet for altitude they easily run away from blower cars here.
I second that.
Apples to Apples
Your single kit vs the paxton kit.
BTW I had a procharger kit and took it off to do a single turbo kit.
I am heading that way also.
