    Procharger Tensioner Pulley 1/4 mile Pulls Video

    Hey Everone,

    Here is a video of a 2004 GTO A4 with a 383 stroker and a P1SC on the dyno. This video shows you how far the Tensioner travels.

    So it looked like it was putting more tension on the belt as the rpms/power increased. Isnt' that a good thing?

    Actually the belt stretches from the load. In an idea world the tensioner maintains an equal tension on the belt while it has stretched

    Very interesting. I plan on doing an in-engine bay version with my GoPro hero HD camera (on a TBSS D-1SC)

    The tensioner I'm running is part of the www.houseofboost.com procharger kit. I have their custom bracket with slide tensioner and huge spring tensioner.

    You can see some of the pics of it in here:

    That's pretty damn cool, makes me wonder how much a stock tensioner on say an ls1 moves.

    I love seeing them work. I work with big air moving equipment on a daily basis. My full time gig I test commercial and industrial HVAC. When you get to some of the big setups they run 6 and 8 cogged 3/4" wide belts it's awesome to see it working in action on our engines

    Thumbs up

    It's interesting how the tensioner jumps when the BOV opens at about 45 seconds in. The load the S/C is putting on the crank is visually represented. Great video. Thanks!
