Supercharger Belt
Supercharger belts are the drive belts that transfer power from the engine crankshaft to the supercharger rotor assembly. Maintaining a properly tensioned, unworn supercharger belt is critical to consistent boost pressure delivery and supercharger reliability across the full RPM range. Popular Supercharger Belt Options Popular supercharger belt replacements include OEM-spec replacement drive belts for factory supercharged vehicles, upgraded belt kits with improved compounds for higher power applications, idler pulley and tensioner upgrade kits to maintain consistent belt tension under load, and underdrive or overdrive pulley belt relocation kits for boost pressure tuning. How often should a supercharger belt be replaced? Supercharger drive belts on factory supercharged vehicles should be inspected at every service interval and replaced according to the manufacturer's maintenance schedule, typically every 30,000 to 60,000 miles depending on the vehicle and supercharger type.
