Ok...

well i guess i shouldnt have waited this long to try and figure this out....
i thought i was ready to swap this weekend.. but when i removed the ac compressor from the motor i realized that there is no belt for an rsx without a/c becuase i dont think the car comes without a/c....

soooo

now ive got a snag.

what size belts and pulley setups are you guys using?
im doing a k20 into a 98 dx coupe.. i originally planned to use power steering but no a/c.... is this going to be possible? if not, what pulleys and belt do i need to use for no a/c and no p/s?
Ive heard of people using Ep3 pulleys... can anyone give me specifics/definite answers???

let me know-

 

Subscribed because I am gathering as much 411 to do this swap one day

 

found out some info. w/o p/s or a/c a 50.5" belt and EP3 idler pulley works. W/ps and no a/c a VR6 Corrado belt supposedly fits with all the stock pulleys- but i havent been able to confirm this 100%. still investigating.

 

Napa. Dayco Polycog belt # 5070505

for running a the 5 pulley setup using the ep3 idler pulley NO AC, NO PS.

7rib 50.5


btw, u should go on k20a.org, there is tons of info on this stuff....

 

i kept it simple with the 5 pulley sytem just no a/c and ep3 pulley... some are using the 3 pulley system to me i dont liek that theres no tensioner included in that system
