anybody know what it is? total length?

also, (and i know it's a noob question but my search didn't turn up much), but when i remove the compressor the pulley goes with it and that's it then right? belt's re-routed a new way?

get some string around the pulleys and measure it lol

Are you using an idler pulley in place of the A/C compressor?

should i?

My bad you dont need to.

But searching yielded this.

after a bit more searching it looks like the compressor has to stay to act as an idler pulley? can anyone confirm this?

now in another thread it just says to get a way smaller belt and take it out lol. hmmmmmmmm

I'm not sure if you can get by without an a/c delete pulley on your Eco or not but on the LD9 you can.
I also remember working on Robs Eco last week and we had to change out the belt since we did an alternator underdrive setup on it.
If the a/c is removed out of the picture, the idler assembly may be in the way with the a/c out of the way.
Try it and see if the belt (with the idler having tension) is not going to interfere with the idler assembly with the a/c removed.
There's alot of play in the tensioner to move out of the way of the belt so give it a shot.
Good luck.

searching own's me. ^^^^^in case anyone else was wondering, so what i'll do is find out the total length of that belt, then drop an inch for the rk pulley.

thanks for the help guys.

Blue, I can fix the RKsport crank for you. Also, you do not need the AC compressor. The belt will be smaller than the 345K5....
