NEED AN ANSWER FAST! S/C + HBP Belt
The belt that comes with the kit won't with the HBP. What is the part number for the next size up belt. I know someone else has needed a new belt!!!

I just spoke with them again and they said it is just barely too tight to slip it onto the pulley. The tech is very familiar with the S/C install (this is his 12th install) and they said it just won't go on.
I found the larger belt though Goodyear gatorback 4040 252
Belt with the kit = 24.5"
New belt = 25.2"

That, or because your kit is new, the belt hasn't stretched at all.

I got my belt on, but it was a real struggle. Are you getting the IC kit? If you are then you'll be putting that belt back on anyway. I had alot of miles on my belt, it must have been stretched.

The blower was on another CL-S for under 8,000 miles. He was not using the HBP. I've spoken with Jason at Speed Distributors (very helpful BTW) and Brandon at Tischer Acura and put the two of them in contact with each other.
I did not buy a new S/C belt but the other two belts are new.

Ya I just talked to Jason to find out when to expect my HBP, and he mentioned some hoser named Steve in Maryland had gotten his pulley but the rest of us are backordered. He said about 1 in 4 CL HBP applications end up requiring the 25.2" instead of the 24.5".

Cuz belt that came with my S/C fit over the HBP snug, but it still got on there.
Either way glad to see you got it resolved. Can't wait for some track #'s.

They just called me and said the boost and fuel pressure gauges were hooked up. They wanted to know what color I wanted them to light up. They must be getting close

The S/C + I/C + accessories (gauges, spark plugs, tranny cooler, etc.) = roughly $6,000 installed!! I couldn't pass it up

Who's gonna put it on? Are you going to do anything about the plugs?
