Powerdyne SC Pics?

[simbotto]

i have a 90 5.0 and recently came across a powerdyne BD-600 SC. i have a decent amount of fabrication experience, and was hoping that someone on this forum that has a powerdyne SC mounted to their stang could help me out and take tons of pics at all different angles so that i can get an idea of where to mount my SC and how to go about doing it. from the pics ive seen so far it looks like the SC mounts where the alternator is located in my car....so that cant be right. any help would be very much appreciated.



im new to this forum and i think this is the right place for this thread, but if it isnt im sorry and please direct me to the appropriate sub-furum. thank you very much

no pictures but i do believe that it does mount in the alternator position and the alt. is relocated under the super charger on the mounting bracket that replaces the factory bracket. all this equipment comes from the factory with the superchargers for specific year models..

From what I've read, it seems to be the luck of the draw. This guy didn't even have 5000 miles on it before that happened, it wasn't overdriven or anything either.

When i look at the pics that Fett gave me a link to, yea....the alternator does look like it gets relocated....


Hmm....maybe there is a way i can mount it without moving anything....with the new crank pulley the belt for the SC is driven from the outermost part of the pulley right? meaning that the SC belt would be infront of the other belt and closer to the front of the car....i could probably rig something up to work if i take my time...i gues we'll see : )


thanks again guys!

Instead of having gears inside of it to drive it, it has a belt, thats why they are so quiet, the problem is on a lot of them the belt fails.

BD-11a Unit here, 10# Pulley, larger crank, anderson powerpipe, etc etc... No problems whatsoever.

MY powerdyne internal belt shredded itsself a few times also. The first 2 time PD coved it under warranty, but they had the blower for about 6 weeks at a time. The last time I got a rebuild from www.928motorsports.com and I havent had a problem with it since. With a 7" crank pulley and 2.75 charger pulley it was making 10lbs of boost a 5000 rpms. I honestly think the CFM's on the blower are just about at it limit, so on my new motor Im going back upto a 2.93 pulley so to mke sure there is enough flow up to about 6000 rpms. If you look at that pic of the shreded belt you can see how easy it is to change the belt you self. I took my old bearings to the machinist where I work and they were of the opinion that the bearing where still very good and didnt need changed. You can buy the belts online for about 45 bucks.

here are few pics, dont know if they will help or not. There is a bracket that relocates the alt. & smog pump to the bottom of the charger.
