have a rb30det

due to a previouse person( who f**kup tapping a hole) i cant use the top tentioner location so i have to go the lower tentioner location

i got the belt that the guide says to use however the teath on it have a curved edges

instead of the standard trapazoidal shap(triangle with top cut off)

so the belt floats on the cam gears and lower sprocket..( eg not right)

have i got the wrong belt?

does anyone have the correct part number??

the belt i have is 1200mm long 150 teeth 8mm pitch

help please???

Im pretty sure its HTD profile you want.

I messed around with some ca20 twin cams a while ago and got my belts from econobelt

http://www.econobelt.com/Q460/RFQ/default....ge=tbelt/12.htm

they do a standard 20/30/50mm width for $23 usd, or they do custom width for a little more, i think i paid around $30 each. you need 25mm for RB

Im sure Gates australia could help you tho, try giving them a ring

MMM that looks positive fatz

chop chop boy

hope fully is exactually what we require

that's the same belt i have..

it fits, majorly tight to put on but it fits

i noticed the same thing with the teeth but so far the car has seen consistant revs to about 5500rpm while getting a running tune and it hasn't moved.

to get it on we needed 1 person holding the tensioner and belt and pushing in, the other person has a ratchet ready to screw it in

good luck

Glad to hear you got it sorted out.

I just thought I should mention to be very careful when trying to choose an equivalent timing belt of a different length for your car. I only say that as there are about 10+ different styles of curved tooth profiles for automotive timing belts out there. Unless it actually says HTD on the back of your belt it will not be easy (near impossible) to identify exactly which one you need. So as mentioned above if you're unsure then contact Gates or someone similar to find out what the standard belt tooth profile is.

If you did have a HTD belt don't just go to an industrial belt supplier and find an equivalent one either. The automotive belts are typically designed to cope with much higher temps.

What even better is that it's up and running and if fatz can NOT be drunk for 1 night he might actually come up to shit'sville(newcastle) and drive the thing home next weekend.

WOOHOO

and take all the associated junk with him. hehe

    • Something to note, on an aftermarket turbo, it's quite possible to end up with the worst of both worlds, where on light throttle, there isn't enough force to open the BOV so you get small reversion and driveability issues, and with the venting to atmosphere, it dumps a lot of fuel on shifts. Realistically, dumping to atmosphere under power isn't a major driveability issues, compared to the issues of stalling from reversion. If you're getting up the throttle, then putting the clutch in, say on a shift up, but then don't release the clutch, yes, the engine can and will stall, but, just drive around it, and that's easy, let the clutch out in the next gear and the car rolling will keep it all running / going.who wants a hard hit of throttle and then to just let the motor idle anyway?   Main issue for driveability is blipping throttle and it wanting to stall, like when parking or trying to move in slow traffic.
    • As in they quoted one price, you mentioned the exhaust, and they promptly added $200 on top? Interesting.
    • Note that I'm not suggesting this is a great idea. Just saying that it is something that could be done to achieve a better outcome than the more shit ideas will provide.
    • I'd try removing it, connecting hoses and see if that helps. Depending on specs, it could actually be restricting the flow(it also might be helping).
    • Yes, that's a hybrid BOV. The adjustable spring load ones are about making teh pressure build up higher before venting, so you get a more agressive whoosh. That is not what I meant or what you want. By "restricting", I don't mean "keep it closed until the pressure is higher, then open it fully". I mean "open it as soon as it is required, but only have a small port area, so that the flow rate out of it is slowed down". The pressure will rise to be higher than a bigger ported BOV would provide, but it would do while it is venting. The idea is to slow down the rate at which the replacement eair is flowing past the AFM, to reduce the magnitude of the air flow signal peak, to reduce the amount of fuel that is added per revolution.
