    A couple years back I came across a company that was making multiple v-belt pulleys for supercharger setups. I am pretty sure the company was from new York or new jersey but I can't find it now. Does anyone know about these? Or the name of the company? Thanks, Joe.
     
  2. I'd be interested too. Otherwise I will turn my own.
     
  3. Being the cheap bastard that I am, I wonder about adapting something like the item in this ad (and available else where) http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/CRAN...ptZMotorsQ5fCarQ5fTruckQ5fPartsQ5fAccessories

    For the set up I am piecing together, 1-1 drive seems like a good ratio for 5 pounds boost. Maybe I can get a triple crank pulley, and turn a small adapter to put another similar pulley on the blower drive.

    Making the pulleys on my small lathe turns out not to be as simple as I thought. I would need a piece of AL 2-3" thick and about 6" x 6" . Such AL pieces aren't super cheap or available and push the limits of my little machine, not to mention my getto-hack skills.

    you could stack single pulleys, just machine a lip on one side a recess on the other, and leave room in the middle for some bolts.

    or use thick wall aluminum tube. McMaster-Carr has some 5" od with 1/2" wall thickness. 9056K571 You'd have to make a hub to bolt or weld onto one end.
