Yes there's a few other topic going on about this, but none of them have specifically adressed this issue.

I'm currently (as in right in the middle of at work) putting on the CTR N1 race pulley on my B18C5 and I purchased the Acura 2.5TL p/s belt as directed by numerous MB members.

It does not fit. It must be at least 30mm too short. I've tried setting the alternator at full inward to get it to fit, but no luck at all.

The Acura part number is:

56992-P1R-004

The belt numbers on it are:

4PK700

now the CTR pulley is smaller in diameter than the O.E ITR pulley, but not THAT much to take an 85mm shrter belt like this one.

As soon as I get the correct belt info I'll post it up as a double-check of sorts for anyone else looking to do this job in one day w/o having to make an additional trip to the parts store.

I'm not trying to make anyone look bad who has posted "use the 2.5TL p/s belt" or anything, but I must admit I was a little pissed that it's taking more than my alotted 1 hour lunchbreak to get this job done now because of the misinfo posted up numerous times.

Has anyone actually tried the 700mm belt and gotten it to fit? It seems impossible w/o pushing the alternator to full "loose" and then really prying like hell on the belt while turning the crankshaft - this cannot be a good thing.

Anyways I'll be back with a Gates/Bando part number.

If anyone knows of an O.E 4-rib belt that is like 735mm please let me know - Honda/Acura delivers to us and O.E is best IMO, even on somthing so trivial as a belt.

 

i dont know of an OE belt that small.
I say just buy an aftermarket

 

Yes I just bought a Gates belt.

I'll get the part number for you guys.

 

ouch that sux, sorry for the wrong info tom

i know that anyone that has a b18c SHOULD be able to use a 4PK735 belt, that i have sent out to guys getting it for the 1.8 and no complaints; where i have heard complaints is from when i send that size belt to b16 guys and they come back to say that is too long. so MAYBE that acura belt will work for b16?

 

Brain fart - Please Ignore

 

YOU did Mike!

Remeber this?

And here's the link too!

You clearly state that it's the p/s belt, and it's not just you either. There's been 5 or 6 different people on the ITR MB alone that have said the same thing.

 

LOL you owned yourself

 

Man I wasn't trying to call any particular person out or anything, but that was just too ironic.



I guess we're even now Mike?

 

LMFAO Oops

hehe I posted that from a Notepad file of Mike K's saying that was the belt to use, Has anyone tried to use the Alt Belt Vs The PS Belt?

PS Modding has its privleges Like doing a little clean up

 

Oh I saved your post to my notepad first! lol

 

good info for my install next week.

 

step 1, go here: http://www.honda.co.jp/parts/hamp/belt/tekiou01.html

step 2, look for a 4PK735 belt in that link

step 3, copy the part number

step 4, go to http://www.acuraautomotiveparts.org/ and run a little search for the part number 56992-PV0-003 and you guys will find the ps belt for X Acura model that use a 4PK735 belt.

Done.

ps: http://babelfish.altavista.com/ always help, lol

If that truly is the right part number, then it's for an Acura VIGOR, not a 2.5TL.

In any case I just asked for a Gates 745mm belt and it's on and perfect.

Even the 735mm would be a tight streth trying to get it over the crank pulley itself. Once it was on it'd have some slcak, but the 745mm one was already pretty tight going on.

745mm belt works 100% perfect.

Again i'll have to double check the Gates number, but I have to get the little sleeve for it.

 

Have u gotten the part number yet for that belt?????
Where do you get these gates belts?

 

You can use a belt from a 1981-86 Ford Escort. Its 29.0" and fits my b16 in my crx perfect it only cost $13 CDN too

The part number is 290k4.

I'm using that exact belt as well.

 

I used a 56992-PV0-013 BELT, P.S. PUMP from an Acura Vigor.

Works all the time. It's only like $9.
