Default Which Magnacharger do I have?



Uploaded with ImageShack.us

I am guessing its a MP112 but there is no model # on any of the paper work I got with the car and none of the serial numbers seem to bring up anything on search. To add further confusion it has nothing on the unit itself except for "CARB D-488-6" LS-1/LS-6"

Unit was installed in 2008

can anyone point me in the right direction to pick up some spare belts for it??
No problems with it (knock on wood) but I would like to have some on hand if one breaks

Thanks!

If you don't find anything you can remove the belt and measure it. Take into account belt stretch.

OP hi
See if the numbers on the belts are readable, then maybe NAPA ,AUTOZONE. or magnuson.com

Can get you the numbers on both belts if you need em , and I assume you have a 3.50 front pulley, should be on the front just near the locking nut.

thats what I am guessing, it IS on a C5 Z, I have the warranty card for it from the previous owner, I think I will try to contact the company with all the info and verify, I would think they would stamp the model right on them

If you were lucky, it would be a MP122 or even a MP112H or MP122H. The H designation was for the high helix rotors, which added 10° to the existing 60° rotor design.
That rear belt isn't something listed by Gates in their catalog (or at least it wasn't last time I pursued getting one). Either Magnacharger, Callaway and maybe Lingenfelter can supply the rear belt for you. If they offer a HD belt, get it! If not, the regular will have to do. Set the tension on it, drive it 100-200 miles and re-set the tension on it.
