the minute i get my ass on a dyno and/or a track, i'll be sure to share it with everyone. i'm dying to find out some numbers, be it 1/4 time or whp. i'm hitting the track on friday, i'll be sure to post some slips, whether they're good, bad, or ugly.
JRSC belts & pulleys: please discuss it here
I know a lot of us JRSC guys having or had problems with our belts and pulleys and a lot of time we hijacking other threads because of it, so I thought it was a good idea to start up on a thread just about jrsc belts and pulleys. The thread is not only for current jrsc peeps but also for the newbies as well so they won't get us frustrated asking the same question over and over again.
I'll start off with one question, I read around and found a member who is using a goodyear 070775 belt which is 7 rib and 77.5 inches long. I tried a dayco belt that was 77.5 long and it wasn't even anywhere close to fitting onto the 3.4 pulley. The dayco 78.9 belt fit extremely well for the purpose. What I want to know is that anyone else tried the goodyear 77.5 long on a 3.4 pulley or is it because different makers make belt a little bit different in length.

Damn man, I forgot about you in my last post. To your question. Sleeving the block will be about $1200 with decking. Port/polish about $400, forged rods/pistons $800 or so, nitrous kit $500, TB about $400 or so. All in all, depending who I talk to and such, I am looking to spend about $3000 or so in October. Won't have my car for a few weeks because I have a shop that is looking to expand it's business into the K-Series engines instead of just Subaru engines. So with that said, the whole job may/may not cost more or less than what I have set. I told them I had a budget for all above for $2500. They said they would get back with me. We will see. I forsee over 350WHP with that setup on the stock fuel system (fuel rail, lines, in-tank pump). Of course the injectors are going to be upgraded, that is obvious.
shaggy said:lead the way sonny....
just make sure you get plenty of pics and vids....
just curious though, how much do you think a set-up like that will cost?
I'm freaking stuck in the low 200whp and probably won't get much more anytime soon unless hondata wants to experiment on the k20a3 again. I want a k20a2 and slap my jrsc on.
I hear you TT....tt061880 said:nm me about the injector question, I just read another thread and saw it. Man I don't wanna get bigger injectors already lol
i was going to buy the 650's soon, but I wonder if it just makes sense to wait and jump right to the 750's...
I plan on going the exact same route as Sonny but i need to come up with some serious scratch....
not to mention i'm real curious how Sonny's car will handle all the extra HP....
btw, these are the type of injectors I'm going to need correct?

do you really think a port/polish will make that much of a difference on the RSX-S?? from what i understood the engine comes from the factory already nice and smoooooooooooooooth. Its not like its an old 67 chevy
the rest of that looks great... i'm getting jealous already! I just cant keep sinking my cash into this i think... we'll see... I need to get clutch/fly/LSD first.
Another alternative is the NAPA part # 25-070776, cost is 37.00 and it seems to be supplied by Gates so it should be a good quality unit. I will install it tomorrow and let everyone know how it goes. I just upgraded to the 7psi pulley and threw one of the ribs on the original belt. had the 5psi for a few weeks w/o a problem.tt061880 said:well so can someone please tell me what up with the goodyear 77.5 belt? I need to get back on the 7 rib and I don't want to order it if it doesn't fit.

I have used both the goodyear and napa belt, they both good but I like the goodyear one better. The goodyear belt last me longer than any other belt I have ever used.
why isn't this thread in the "stickies" thread??????? the belt problem ain't gone yet
New belt is on and holding, but it seems to want to jump off the short tensioner braket pulley toward the charger even while idling. I think i need to contact JR to know when my kit was maufactured. I purchased it from Sumitt so it mught have been on thei shelve awhile, so i might need the updated pulleys, brakets?ocorzo said:Another alternative is the NAPA part # 25-070776, cost is 37.00 and it seems to be supplied by Gates so it should be a good quality unit.

it's hard to say, im still on the old pulleys
Do you have to get the shorter belt if you use the 9 PSI pulley? I have 2 new belts that are 88.6" and I don't wnat them to be a waste now. WIll my belts work with the new pulley?
