What belt size do I need?
What belt size do I need?
Iam in the process of putting my motor back together without airpump, PS, and AC. I currently have the rx-7 store underdrive main crank pulley and my water pump and alternator pulleys are stock. Iam wondering what size belt I need. Any help would be great.
I would recommend getting an airpump removal pulley kit. It will give you better contact with the waterpump pulley.
However, even with a kit, you'll need a different belt since most of the kits are designed to work with the stock main pulley unless you go with a Unorthodox Full Pulley Set.
I'm using the Pettit TKT Power Pulley kit with the Rotary Performance Air Pump Removal kit. The belt I used was a 28.5" 4 rib.
BTW, don't expect answers within minutes (or hours). If you are going to ask for help, you need to show some patience.

congratulations on dumping all that extraneous stuff. you will love it.
you'll need a 29.5 inch belt.... look around and try to get a 5 rib. 4 ribs will work but are better as spares which you should have on board w a 12 and 14 mm wrench.

Sorry to Necro - but does anyone happen to have the length of the belt to use the RP main power pulley yet retain AC and PS? Last time I want to the store I wound up driving back and forth about 6 times. Finally said screw it tossed the old one back on and drove it to RP, but then it jumped the PS pulley and turned itself into a 5 rib and it seemed fine when I cleaned it up, but it's turned into a 4.5 ribbed banshee. Seems like a silly thing to try to bug RP with and quite a drive for little reason.
I almost just want to get a stock main pulley just to not have to deal with these mystery sizes.
Thanks in advance.
