stage 2 belt squeaking

[roldaphat9]

not sure if this is a problem but it was fine til i swapped the pulley. I had a stock belt and pulley on and put a 3.0 pulley on and a stage 2 belt. When the car sits for 6+ hours and i start it up the belt makes a slight squeak for the first minute or 2, not anything big, or loud, justbarely hear it in the car with the windows up. But like i said never did it before. One thing i did do is when i tried to swap the pulley i loosened the hex/star bolt on the tensioner or right below it, but tightened it back up, cause i thought thats how you loosened the belt, maybe that is the reason? i dunno, everything is tight and what not.

had the same problem witht the stock belt after my pulley swap and larger tensioner. turn the belt around and inside out, see it it works. did for me

I'm having the same problem as well. I suspect that it's the intense tensioner pulley but I'm still not certain. If anyone else has feedback on this I'd be interested to hear.

What are you guys running for tensioners?

mines stock tensioner just a smaller belt. and pulley is one of nates.

I'm using the intense tensioner and also thought thats what it was, so I e-mail intense and had them ship me another... didn't work. turn your belt around

make sure the belt is properly installed on the lower pullies if it is off one groove it will squeak....

I tried a bunch of things, finally I just put some oil on the SC pulley and that seemed to take care of it. The only problem now is I'm losing boost pressure at higher RPM. Any ideas?

+1. I'd trash that belt and get another.
