well i finally broke the internal belt on my dinan powerdyne s/c

so i ordered a new one(kevlar belt)off ebay

well i took off the s/c and im ready to install the new one
but how do i take it apart?
i guess i have to unbolt the pully thats on the outside,,and i allready took off the 15 or so allen head bolts,,but its not seperating

is there a trick to it??any tips would b great

also this s/c was rebuilt at 85,000 miles at PD,,and now the car has 98,000 miles

its not that big of a deal,,it wasnt hard to take off,,but i just hope its pretty easy to take apart the s/c and install the new belt




also since i have this off the car,,how much are these things going for used???
i figured id ask since im selling my car anyway,,,to someone,,or a dealership,,
and just wanted to see what they may bring

i would have to take off the big bracket that holds it,,cuz right now its still mounted
also,,what else would i have to take off to sell to the next person?
i know the PD units are not wanted as much ,,but i figure id try to get a est of how much i may b able to get,,or have someone offer me a lil money

if i was gonna keep the car,,i would trade it in on the new PD gear drivin,,and i think they give u like a 600$$ off on the new PD unit

i have a couple pics i would like someone to tell me what they are

ill post the pics soon
i just have 1 line i dont know what it was for ,,that was connected to the air intake tube right before the filter

thanks mike

heres the pics
what is that black line,,with the silver canister on it??it was going to a part on the air filter pipe

thanks
any help is great
mike

also
does the stock m3 come with a crank pully for just 2 belts???

i have a crank pully for 3(the extra being for the s/c)
so if i just take off the belt that ran the s/c
the car will run the same,,since that extra belt just went up to the pully that was on the outside of the s/c???

just wanted to make sure,,cuz im just gonna ut the stock airbox on will i get the new belt in

the car ran fine with the s/c on there,,and the broke belt
but since i have the s/c off,i wanted to still drive it,,and not harm anything

thanks mike

So what are you doing? Rebuilding or taking it off?

Those cases are just stuck together real good. Keep prying and they will seperate.

Used PD's go for between $300-$550. Ones that need to be re-built $200-$400.

The car will run rich without the charger the software is geared for the extra air. So at WOT fuel is being dumped in to compensate.

Yes, you have to take pulley off, and those other bolts on top.

You are replacing the bearing also, right?

no im just lookin to replace the belt
the whole supercharger was rebuilt at 85,000 miles,,,at powerdyne

so i would hope its still good
do u think i need new bearings????

also,,i can just put a filter on the end of the intake and drive it fine without that 3rd belt hooked up right?
since the belt i took off only went up to the s/c

thanks mike

well i put the intake back on,,without the s/c ,,and pully for it

and the car wont hold an idle

so ill just wait to get the new belt on

is there any detailed instructions anywhere about how to just replace the belt??

thanks

That really doesn't make much sense. My belt broke and the car ran fine.

yeah,,my car ran fine also,,with all the piping,,and s/c hooked up
but now that u have the s/c off,,and the belt that ran to the s/c from the crank,,it wont hold a idle

even tho i put the intake back to the motor,,

dont know
im just gonna wait for the new belt
i dont need to drive it anyway

any other thoughts

Do you have the HFM connected?

sorry,,but whats a HFM??

The air flow sensor. It would be right before the air filter.

yes,,that 2 inch size piece that twists onto the filter pipe right????
if thats a hfm,,then yeas it was hooked up
ill check it all tomorrow

but it twisted right on,,

there was a small gap between a section of the pipe where it wasnt flush with the other section
u know it was like a 3 inch outlet,,going into a 4 inch inlet
so there was some space,,but i figured id just try it

could that of been the prob
not a tight seel between all the pipes of the filter to the motor????

i may take some pics too
but i just figured it would work
any other tips to try??
thanks mike

do u see that silver thing,,with the black tube from it,,in all the pics??

i have that hooked back up to the intake tube,,would that not be there on a reg cold air intake??
could someone tell me what that is???

thanks

ok,,well i fixed it,,i guess it does need to b a nice tight seal from the filter to the motor
i got a rubber 3 inch inlet/outlet so i could put that in place of the 4 inch inlet,,3 inch outlet i had
now she idles fine
a lil poppy,,but it will b fine till i get the new belt

i also took the casing apart on the s/c,,
is there anything i should double check before i put the new belt on
like i said the whole s/c was rebuilt about 15,000 miles ago

but id like to check everything once over whgile i have it off

thanks mike

You should replace the bearings.

check out this site.

also my belt broke again and again so i went with the new xb1a powerdyne gear driven s/cer it can make up to 18psi. and just fits in place of the older model.

ill tell ya how it turns out when it ships in.

thanks

i guess i gotta find someone with a bearing puller

i was hopeing the belt would go on easy without to much other work

i have looked into that new PD s/c also
u can get them for about 1200$$ plus a trade of the older BD11A

or 1800$$ new

but im sellin the whole car,and im not gonna try to put money into the car,,when right now the car is for sale for 18,000$$ and no one seems interested,or else id b doing that

thanks again
mike

PLEASE let me know about the XB. I have been waiting for someone to get one. My only concern is the noise.
