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?

    • Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL
    • Could be falling edge/rising edge is set wrong. Are you getting sync errors?
    • On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.
    • Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
    • Nice....looking forward to that update
