Hi all.

I bought the 152 tooth timing belt that Spool imports supply for the rb25/30 conversion.. But its not long enough... !! My fault not Spools!

I used the rb30det.pdf thats around to setup my tensioner pulley. Were its written in a picture were to mount the tensioner.

i need a other belt that is 2 - 3 tooth longer.. 4 -5 tooth will prob be okay also. Were and what can i use? I have looked in Dayco wepshop, and can see the tooth proflile for the belt used in the .pdf file is: STP8M (Dayco number 94407).

Can I use other tooth profile? Or is my only option the 164 tooth long belt? If still need to be STP8M profile...? Do you think i can use the 164 tooth belt??

Really hope someone can help me out here.

CA series motors only run a 3/4 inch belt ~19mm wide, the rb belt is inch ~ 25mm wide. Are you sure your belt is not hanging over the side of the idler?? it will wreck the belt in minutes of running

i would say that you will wreck the belt like that.

Can you get another RB tensioner? they are the correct width and also seem to be cheaper than the RB idler pulleys. Plus like proengines said, you can adjust it to suit

Looks liek you either need to re-drill and tap the top tensioner, or contact gates belts and get them to make you a custon lentgh belt. The next size they do in 8mm HTD is 164 teeth which is 96mm longer than the belt you have now and probably too long?

    • Mixing things up - installed some leather recaros to match the leather seat covered rear seats. Interior looks pretty schmick now except for some slight wear on the steering wheel which I will monitor and address if it becomes worse or actually noticeable!  
    • Didnt realise RB's had more then 1 head.
    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
