so, can we list all revisions to the KW kit so people would know what has been updated?
the only ones I'm aware of is: 1. smooth pulleys were replaced with cogged pulleys 2. crank and blower pulleys were replaced with bigger diameter ones and longer belt 3. rotrex oil reservoir mounting location changed - new mounts 4. a new wider pulleys/belt set coming???

Hey guys,
I am purchasing a used KW supercharger soon with the C30 blower. I believe it is one of the earlier models. I have been reading about the belt issue. Is there anything I can do to prevent it or minimize it from happening such as upgrading different parts? Or do just have to put a few extra belts in my car? |

Get the new pulleys and belt, check your tension often, never had any issues with mine.

i can't recall any people running on new pulleys and properly set the belt tension to 60-65 who had issues. i think.

So I have been having a loose belt problem I decided to address. I heard the belt and when I tried to break 90° I did so really and did more of a 135° so I went to adjust it, baked of the lock nut and tried to tighten and it was TIGHT. I thought it was odd and backed it off and the tensioner never let loose. I thought hmm what else holds this in place? I was at a loss and then I realized NOTHING! So what's holding the block in place? The block has a square end and a round end.... Mine was installed backwards! The pulley could never tension the belt because it's backwards! So very very upset �� with PRE for this install miss! Got to call them in the am and get this fixed!

@Beechnut87 it looks fine. i can't even imagine how it can be installed backwards. did you unscrew the pulley's bolt?

It's just backed that far off and the phones that close. I assure you it's there 😉
