A little yes. Many people have said that going with one size down has been very good, but only for those us us that have the smaller pulleys as the smaller belts won't fit the stock pulleys 75mm and up. No one has said it was bad from what I've read. Gates K061015 to K061010. With my 70mm I most recently went to the K061015RB as it's very slightly smaller but supposedly is stronger. I also tried the K061010HD but I couldn't get it on as it seems just a wee bit smaller than the K061010, thus couldn't get it on the pulley. So far for me all the belts seem to start squeaking after 3-6 months, but no issues beyond that. Since it's happened with all of them (3 belts) I'm thinking it's not hurting anything, just annoying.

Only started noticing it a few days after I smoked a centrifugally charged frs with the 69mm. Also worth noting that I can only hear it with the windows down - nothing out of the ordinary in the cab noise. Maybe my oil is aging and some valve noise is happening?

Any ideas?

The re-circulation valve which is plastic started to unattach it self from the metal bracket it is attached to on my car so I would check that. I had to replace mine, but has been good since. Easy to install after you figure out how the device works, but then again that could be said for everything, even women.

I'll check it out. Thanks man.

After inspection, the valve seems pretty solid and fine. I mean, I wouldn't know what to look for, but everything looks the way it did on the day of install.

Also, I hope it isn't as hard as figuring out how women work. Might have to take it to the shop in that case.

Clutch slipping at 40k miles with 210. sweet.

anyone's clutch go that soon?

also, how much power would headers, tune, e85, and a smaller pulley make on the 210?

My car is at 60k miles, with about 35k on the supercharger. So far clutch is ok. With the stuff you mentioned you'll be at around 285-290whp. I'm at 250whp with all that except e85 and I hear a stock setup with larger pulley is about 235whp. Translated you'd be at 110-120whp over a completely stock car.

Here's my chart for horsepower/torque ratings:

What clutch do you think i should run? stock again or stage?

On my list for when my clutch goes is either the Exedy clutch & light flywheel or ACT Xtreme plate / organic disk & street light flywheel which is good up to 270tq. That will give a little breathing room if you go e85, or even more if you don't.

I've also heard really good things about exedy.

So I just finished my install with the 210 non-IC plus a few other things. After reading more and checking out stockysnail's chart, it seems I may have bit off more than I can chew. I'm back in school and DD the car, and it doesn't seem I'll be able to afford tracking it for several years. I don't want to do clutch or injectors any time soon.

In addition to the non-IC 210 I did e85, 72.5mm pulley, and Perrin 3" intake. I've had the OFH and Perrin overpipe also.

Should I go up to the 80mm pulley? Limit fill ups with e85? I think I'd choose the former. What's the general consensus?

Thanks.

You'll be fine on 72.5 with 91 or 92 octane. Or stock with e85. I'm running water meth with 69mm no intercooler conservative tune, and it runs great with no discernable clutch slip.

[riboyster]

If the clutch isn't slipping, there should be no issue with your build. I DD my car every day, with the occasional street race against wrxs

@moto-mike has some thoughts about running e85 on the non-intercooled with smaller pulleys (such as 72.5). I think you will be OK based on his thoughts (unless i didn't understand his previous posts). E85 burns much cooler than pump gas, so you won't end up with as much trouble, and knock shouldn't be as much of an issue.

Who did your tuning? Where do you live?

Morning All,

Noticing a reasonably-strong smell of burning rubber/plastic/something-funky after hard-driving. It smells like a mixture between rubber and something metallic. It doesn't smell like clutch as far as I can tell, and i've looked under the hood. Can't see anything melting.

Could it be brakes? Anyone else experience funky smells only occurring after hard runs? I can usually only smell it when getting out of car or with the windows open. With windows closed it is un-discernible in cabin.

Moto Mike is doing my tuning via email since I live in Dallas. He doesn't seem able or willing to answer my questions within a week of me asking them, unless I ask him after ~9pm, oddly. I don't know how to access the E85 purge tune, and I've never seen instructions on how to install the flex fuel kit properly. Which is relevant because the car does not start so I had it towed to a shop this morning.

I've had a real s***storm of a week installing all of this once. Don't even get me started on the trouble I had with the dumb aftermarket crank pulley. Never even considering one of those again.
