Pineapple Racing Yoohoo Water Pump Belt

Well, I have to free advertize, but why has no one thought of this before? Rather than a dual alternator pulley, this seems to make a LOT more sense!

I am pretty sure that it has been around for a while now. I have heard the term Yoohoo belt before, but never thought to research what it actually was.

The only issue I have with the Yoohoo belt is the fact that is it on there so tight, some people have had bearing failure on their water pumps.

I'd stick with either the dual alt pulley, or a side mount alternator, or if you have the money, a Gilmer Drive.

Heck, I'd love to get a nice belt setup myself when I get the money. the one I'm thinking of looks like a belt for a SC, but not...

I take it a Gilmer drive is a belt and pulley with the ribs perpendicular to the belt, right?

i have had one on my car forever. just a generic belt though, not pineapple. if you REALLY don't want slip, look into a gilmer setup.

I have a napa belt on my car. It's priced quite well compared to the pineapple yoohoo belt.

I have that belt. Walking it on was a bitch since it's a tight fit.

I just got a double pulley. Easier and better.

Better is subjective though. If your two pullies aren't tightened correctly you'll still see the bearing problem on the Alt AND H2O pump.

The added bonus for me was that the yoohoo belt ensures I can still drive to the autoshop, without overheating the car, IF MY ALTERNATOR BELT BREAKS.

Mmmmm... I would need 2 belts to break. Unless I'm mistaken, I haven't looked in a while.

even if BOTH don't break you'll still have slippage. The last thing you want is to have your water pump slipping without you knowing it until the needle goes ^^^

The slippage problem is at higher rpm's. Driving to a shop/store shouldn't be a problem.

true, but you're assuming you KNOW the belt is broken. will all the idiot lights come on to tell you ONE belt broke?

Will they if your yoohoo belt breaks?
