Rerouted belt size?

[CrystalWhiteChristine]

Im sure some of u have done it already, i want to get a new belt and reroute the smog pump, What size belt do i need is my question, or whats the part# you used. I have stock size pullies if that helps any thanks

I'm sure someone has done this and can recommend you an exact belt size but when it came time for me to by a belt, I just got a piece of string and and used it to measure the belt. I got one that just a bit smaller and it was perfect.

is there a difference between 94 and 95 cuz i got a 95 and the belt fit perfect (i use a 90" by the way) but one of my cooling hoses rubb on the belt by the water pump

 

[wytstang]

no

 

[CrystalWhiteChristine]

have any of u had that problem that the belt rubs a hose?

 

[Javi]

no, it shouldnt rub against anything.

 

[DFG_magic]

shouldn't rub at all. x2

 

[Javi]

shouldn't rub at all. x2

going by the position of the PS only the last 2 pics are for 94-95 :dontknow:

Why do people do this anyway? It's not like the smog pumps sucks any real power.

i used a 90.5 with the 89 i was getting problems with it putting alot of stress on my water pump and causing me cooling issues.

 

[CrystalWhiteChristine]

ho di u route the belt? like the picture up there?

 

[Traidmarx]

if you need a pic of the belt on the car i can go outside and take one of it on the car if its not to dark yet...and to answer everyones question about why i chose to delete mine, was because i put long tubes on it and the tube that goes down to the headers was in the way as well as all the tubing on the passenger side of the motor so i took it all off, also saves about 20 lbs over the front end which does help a lil with weight transfer, i don't think there is any difference in power though.

 

[CrystalWhiteChristine]

thanks man, might sound stupid but is there a difference betrween the gts and the cobras? cuz i got a 90in belt and it fit perfect but theres two cooling lines that hit the belt by the water pump pully, any know what i mean thanks again every1

 

[Traidmarx]

no difference in the accessories that i'm aware of. are you talking about the coolant bypass hoses??

 

[CrystalWhiteChristine]

yea i belive so, did u encounter them as well

 

[Traidmarx]

nah never had a problem. if you're having an issue with it rubbing something chances are its routed wrong..either that or those hoses have swelled up huge and are probably about to bust have you recently changed them?

 

[CrystalWhiteChristine]

no i havent i think there fine, i probaby have it routed worng, have u changed those hoses before u put the belt?
