Hi guys. I've just tried a new Gates Belt from Just Jap (Gates HSN 150T) but it doesn't fit. I have a Gates 152T but in the NEO compound (the 'weakest' of the Gates options) and this "just" fits - but I am concerned about getting the best material I can for the belt. Obviously don't want a failure.

Looking at the guide and doing searches brings up the Dayco 94407 belt. This is also 152T, 25mm wide. This says it is Chloroprene compound - so not sure how this compares in strength/temp to the Gates Neo. Does anyone know?

Then I found another Dayco belt, 94843. This appears to be 153T, 25mm wide and made of the HSN compound, which as far as I can make out is the 'best' compound. I've seen a few threads about people having a little trouble fitting belts at 150/152T, so maybe this 153T belt could be the ticket? It is certainly more expensive than the 94407, so hopefully this indicates it is the superior belt..

Any comments on this one? Anyone know their belt 'compounds' or suggest an even better belt?

Here's a couple of links on the two Dayco Belts:

I know that this is a little old but thought I'd at least give a quick reply..

NEO = Neoprene which is also known as Polychloroprene.

The different types of rubber compounds the belts are made of give the belts different temperature resistance ratings as well as oil resistances. You can also Nitrile, and HSN (Highly Saturated Nitrile). I would sat that you would want to at least match whatever the material of the standard T1040 timing belt is.

There's a number of ways to do the conversion so it all depends on the method you use as to which belt/compound option you have. I think that there were approx 5-6 belts that were possible to use for this. I'm just going off what someone else told me so someone here might be able to correct me on that.

the 150t belt from gates is for 2 tensioners in the standard locations, down the bottom next to each other.

the 152t belt needs the tensioner relocated as per the 30det guide. not sure bout the other belts

Whoops! Sorry guys, pretty average of me to post a question and then not reply...

Ok, Just trying to go back through my notes on what I found out back at the time.

Bottom line is, as JohnnoHR31 points out, the JustJap belt is for the two tensioners at the lower position. I should have known this from the start as I have read this before - but somehow I just read "suits RB26/30" and bought it. I will add though that the guys from JustJap were very good about it and happily refunded me the dollars not only for the belt, but also for freight - which I fully expected to have to pay for. Great service, thanks guys.

The belt they supply is (from memory) a Gates T306. This is 150 teeth x 23mm wide. It is in the HSN compound (which as FRY_33 points out) is the strongest, most heat/oil resistant compound.

For my application, with the higher mounted tensioner, I needed a 152T as per the guide. In fact for me (and some others) even this is a tad short. I used a 153T and it is the full 25mm wide and in the HSN compound. The part number for that is a Gates T317. The 152T version is a Gates T291, also HSN, also 25mm wide.

So bottom line is, when building one of these motors, you obviously want to put the strongest most reliable belt you can find on. Getting a 25mm wide is what you want, and getting an HSN Compound is 'better' than the Chloroprene compound. Both Gates and Dayco offer belts in both types of compounds - so be aware that you should check this out as well as the number of teeth/pitch etc. And for those of you struggling to make a 152T belt fit - there is a 153T !

Cheers

    • When I said "wiring diagram", I meant the car's wiring diagram. You need to understand how and when 12V appears on certain wires/terminals, when 0V is allowed to appear on certain wires/terminals (which is the difference between supply side switching, and earth side switching), for the way that the car is supposed to work without the immobiliser. Then you start looking for those voltages in the appropriate places at the appropriate times (ie, relay terminals, ECU terminals, fuel pump terminals, at different ignition switch positions, and at times such as "immediately after switching to ON" and "say, 5-10s after switching to ON". You will find that you are not getting what you need when and where you need it, and because you understand what you need and when, from working through the wiring diagram, you can then likely work out why you're not getting it. And that will lead you to the mess that has been made of the associated wires around the immobiliser. But seriously, there is no way that we will be able to find or lead you to the fault from here. You will have to do it at the car, because it will be something f**ked up, and there are a near infinite number of ways for it to be f**ked up. The wiring diagram will give you wire colours and pin numbers and so you can do continuity testing and voltage/time probing and start to work out what is right and what is wrong. I can only close my eyes and imagine a rat's nest of wiring under the dash. You can actually see and touch it.
    • So I found this: https://www.efihardware.com/temperature-sensor-voltage-calculator I didn't know what the pullup resistor is. So I thought if I used my table of known values I could estimate it by putting a value into the pullup resistor, and this should line up with the voltages I had measured. Eventually I got this table out of it by using 210ohms as the pullup resistor. 180C 0.232V - Predicted 175C 0.254V - Predicted 170C 0.278V - Predicted 165C 0.305V - Predicted 160C 0.336V - Predicted 155C 0.369V - Predicted 150C 0.407V - Predicted 145C 0.448V - Predicted 140C 0.494V - Predicted 135C 0.545V - Predicted 130C 0.603V - Predicted 125C 0.668V - Predicted 120C 0.740V - Predicted 115C 0.817V - Predicted 110C 0.914V - Predicted 105C 1.023V - Predicted 100C 1.15V 90C 1.42V - Predicted 85C 1.59V 80C 1.74V 75C 1.94V 70C 2.10V 65C 2.33V 60C 2.56V 58C 2.68V 57C 2.70V 56C 2.74V 55C 2.78V 54C 2.80V 50C 2.98V 49C 3.06V 47C 3.18V 45C 3.23V 43C 3.36V 40C 3.51V 37C 3.67V 35C 3.75V 30C 4.00V As before, the formula in HPTuners is here: https://www.hptuners.com/documentation/files/VCM-Scanner/Content/vcm_scanner/defining_a_transform.htm?Highlight=defining a transform Specifically: In my case I used 50C and 150C, given the sensor is supposedly for that. Input 1 = 2.98V Output 1 = 50C Input 2 = 0.407V Output 2 = 150C (0.407-2.98) / (150-50) -2.573/100 = -0.02573 2.98/-0.02573 + 47.045 = 50 So the corresponding formula should be: (Input / -0.02573) + 47.045 = Output.   If someone can confirm my math it'd be great. Supposedly you can pick any two pairs of the data to make this formula.
    • Well this shows me the fuel pump relay is inside the base of the drivers A Pillar, and goes into the main power wire, and it connects to the ignition. The alarm is.... in the base of the drivers A Pillar. The issue is that I'm not getting 12v to the pump at ignition which tells me that relay isn't being triggered. AVS told me the immobiliser should be open until the ignition is active. So once ignition is active, the immobiliser relay should be telling that fuel pump relay to close which completes the circuit. But I'm not getting voltage at the relay in the rear triggered by the ECU, which leaves me back at the same assumption that that relay was never connected into the immobiliser. This is what I'm trying to verify, that my assumption is the most likely scenario and I'll go back to the alarm tech yet again that he needs to fix his work.      Here is the alarms wiring diagram, so my assumption is IM3A, IM3B, or both, aren't connected or improper. But this is all sealed up, with black wiring, and loomed
