Belt Driven Blower Question

[Duramax 6.6L]

Has anyone been able to make a belt driven blower work on an LBZ. I have talked to a few venders and they can't even recommend the correct size blower to use. I have 2 different designs done up, that would use to belt driven blower to feed the the original turbo on the motor. I have a single a and double blower design. Just need the blower size to use for the correct airflow.

I saw some are using the f1 from ati and some say they need a cog belt since they have been slipping. I would like to see someone run a f3r ati into a s480 to see what it would do.

Empire Diesel has been playing around w/ProChargers on Duramaxes and Power Strokes.

Mike on here has a LB7 w/a Blower. Mick in Austrailia has a blown Duramax, too.

more to it then just bolting up a blower. CFM number needs to be takin into consideration in every application just like setting up a compound turbo setup.

Thats very true. I think we were told we needed an F3 with the 42 mag. You have to consider at what point does the blower/charger become a restriction to the turbo your feeding. Someone mentioned to me something like needing 2000+cfm charger to feed a 4202 or a 42 mag.

I saw Empire Diesel LMM at Scheid's. It was sick, sounded amazing. I think they said it was a F1.

Smallest F3 flows like 2800 cfm
