http://www.banzai-racing.com/ has a 5-rib 30.7" belt that works with greddy pulleys (or ebay pulleys). If that is what you are looking for...

I have the Banzai 30.7 inch (too long) and the Banzai 29 inch (too short). Need to return those by the way. I need a 30 inch 5 rib belt. I will have to go to the other engine and see what kind of power pulley it has. Maybe one of the belts I have will fit then. I had an engine swap and I don't think they switched the pullies, even though they charged me for it. IPS Motorsports in Columbus, Ohio. Rip off artists.

Just get a 4 rib. It will work fine and I'm sure you'll find one local.

We notice that the biggest mistake people make is thinking that the UR Alt, WP, & PS pulleys are underdrive. They are stock size and when used in conjunction with the UR main underdrive pulley without the smog pump makes for a very bad setup with virtually no contact area on the WP pulley. This is worse that trying to run the stock pulleys without the smog pump.

I do not know how much more clear we can make it on out site, we give the standard and metric sizes, the pulley combos that they work with etc. We even have notes such as:
"NOTE: fits GReddy Pulley Kit for Smog Elimination, Indigo Pulleys, Ebay Pulleys, etc."

and:
Underdrive Main* refers to all Power Pulleys; e.g Unorthodox, SR Motorsports, Pettit, etc.
Underdrive Water pump* refers to GReddy, Indigo, Ebay, Etc.
Underdrive Alternator* refers to GReddy, Indigo, Ebay, Etc.

NOTE: Unorthodox Water pump and Alternator Pulleys are stock size.


We even advise people to verify the length that they need prior to purchasing.

Please verify the length of the belt you require prior to placing your order, as these belts are non-returnable. Thank you.


OP- If belt #3 is too long and #2 is too short, then it sounds like you don't have any underdrive pulleys and are running all stock with no smog, we do not offer a belt for that setup as we do not recommend it as being safe.

NAPA is your friend.

I had to return 2 belts before I got the size right - no problem with them, and they have every size imaginable.

What would be the negatives of running it this way? I belive that the wya mine is set up. I havnt actually driven the car yet with this set up so its not to late to fix. Just would like to know what will happen if it is ran this way.

Very limited contact area with the water pump, which would allow for the belt to slip by. If this is your current setup most likely you can spin the water pump pulley by hand, even with the belt fully tight.
