Vortech YSi supercharger 20 psi of boost and no belt slip? 400 SBC V8 S10

I finally finished the new and improved Voetech Supercharger belt setup for my 400 SBC S10. Hopefully, this setup yields great results, providing 20 PSI of boost with no slip at 7000 RPM.

super good detail and good info. Thanks Tyler. You are an engine-nerd at heart.

@@EllweinEngines I see you making HP on your channel keep up the great content brother. 💪

Glad to see it's closer, mine is as well!! I have the same alternator bracket that needed 1/4 spacers and custom PS bracket with it's own custom spacers. Good luck on the rest of the build!

Definitely don’t over tighten the belt, it will kill the bearings in the supercharger.

[@blueblood76]

The tensioner limits that,

[@TPVPRO]

@@blueblood76 Man you can get that belt super tight. I may reposition the tensioner for a little more throw.

[@arturozarate1752]

A belt tensioner that I've used before is one from a Ford 6.0L diesel. When you look at the factory belt routing it'll make sense. Eventually we went to the cog though. No complaints.

[@prestonedmonds4128]

I've been using a cog setup on my sbc 400 for years on the street and Interstate driving to the track. I hit 20 psi at 7000 rpm with a Procharger D2R. I've always wanted to try a YSI but years ago a guy talked me out of it because of the flimsy brackets. What's nice about the cog drive is that the belt doesn't have to be very tight. Seems like it's not that hard on any bearings. I did however pin the crankshaft and I'm not using a BBC snout either.

Keep up the great content! Just got my rotating assembly! If I recall correctly we have the same block. Took your advice and my compression ratio should end up around 11.5:1 like yours is. Super scared to put any boost on her but we will see once the motor is done if we boost or not.

The homework was worth it I'll say Much improved for sure looks 💯 ....👍

Mr Sparkles is about to get lit the phuck up, its going to be epic. Another great videonand problem solving issues covered, thanks bruh.

[@peterlyons4389]

You may reach your goal of 20psi but at the expense of putting way too much pressure on the crankshaft. You might have been better off by putting as much psi before you have belt slip and then adding Nitrous to get the power you want

[@lildno2007]

When you going to crank it brother. I been dying for months waiting to hear it turn that blower.

[@TPVPRO]

@@lildno2007 Gosh darn economy, I'm moving as fast as my budget can brother.

[@bfromthed]

We going to find out

[@TPVPRO]

@@bfromthed lol yep

[@arturozarate1752]

Cog system and an ATI Super Pulley on the blower. Look into it.

[@TPVPRO]

@@arturozarate1752 I'm trying a belt just as a challenge I'm dumb for doing so. 😅

[@arturozarate1752]

@@TPVPRO some of us took the beatings already so others wouldn't have to....🤣🤣🤣 I hear ya. 20 years ago I enjoyed the challenge, but today I'd rather save the time and money man. Your journey is your own. I didn't notice what fuel you're running. E85? I'm what your IAT's are. Vortech had the best volute in the business 20 years ago. How far do you plan to go without intercooling?

[@arturozarate1752]

@@TPVPRO btw, good job stacking the brackets. Somewhere out there is driver side bracket assembly I had made from 3/4" 6061 for a NOVI 2000. I never got around to running a Ysi on the assembly, and I sold it years ago. Never thought of welding two together🤦‍♂️

[@c.pc.5805]

WOW!!! Looking good bro!!! You have come a long way! 1 Now I bet VORTEX is watching your video to see if it's going to work. 2 If it will stay together and last! 3 you did all the R&D for them already to improve on their product. I can't wait to see this baby go!! It's gonna be great. Now my 1 question to you is. You said you were going to connect the blower to the elbow to the intake. Will you use a small intercooler of some sort? Good luck and thanks for another great video!!! Can't wait till ya fire her up!

[@TPVPRO]

I am going to run E85 and meth injection no intercooler.

[@aarongrattafiori617]

Do you have a griptec supercharger pulley?

[@TPVPRO]

@@aarongrattafiori617 I do

[@josephwillis5415]

Big fan of your channel man. Always good information. Just curious what ignition box are you using for timing retard for boost?
