Why won't this spree mod work on an elite, is it because the the variator will squeeze the belt off of the pulley since it is thicker or what ?

A spree trans only has a variable rear pulley this is for keeping tension on the belt, an elite has a variable front pulley to control gearing. Putting the wider belt on a elite will just make the trans start in a higher gear(no pros at all) with a spree however it will ride higher on the front and spread the rear to ride lower, effectively increasing the fixed gear ratio.
