Now that I know how to read the numbers on belts, my kit came with a 4-rib 69" belt. We went to three auto parts stores before we found an 8-rib 66" belt. We're about to start splitting it into two 4-rib belts.
I should have read Doc's and Camell's posts closer.

Belt is on. ECU is off. Studying the ECU harness to make sure we do this right.

Before I start on the ECU wiring, I need some advice on the wiring from those who have done it. My brother says that crimping is bad and he prefers to cut wire, solder, and shrink wrap.
Is this where Doc and EchoHrs had much of their problems?

cut/wire/solder and shrink wrap is always superior to crimping. Always.
Dunno about the belt, I was told they were replaced.

Garm, they kinda told you right.
The kit came with a 1695 mm belt which converts to 66.7 inches which for some reason bottomed out the tensioner. I bought a 8PK1675 belt, which I split. 1675 mm converts to 65.9 inches. The tensioner is near the top of the bracket but it was tight going to slip it over the tension pulley. We looked online at www.upcbelt.com and there is a 4PK1685 which would be ideal. Probably have to buy it online. 1685 mm equals 66.3 inches which should put the tension pulley near the middle. We're splitting hairs now.

Regular life calls and we have to stop for the day. The ladies are impatient to do other stuff.
We will go get a soldering iron and shrink tubing. I expect that we will wrap this up tomorrow morning or Monday night at the latest. I don't have a bunch of pictures but will post when I get home. Don't know how I'll handle the the CAI yet but we are close, people!

Thank you for the regular updates. You can post pictures of the ladies anytime now, that will hold us over until your next report...

First picture is of the A/C lines that have been pulled out of the way of the belt. The A/C lines have been temporarily tied to the sheet metal with a nylon strap. We'll get a metal hose clamp to make it more secure.
At this time, we did not know that the belt was too long so it is just laying loose on the S/C pulley in this picture. After spending an hour or more looking for the right length fan belt, it finally goes on. You need a 66" belt as others have posted before. The robots at the parts counters will always ask you "What car is this for?" so you have to tell them that is a special application like a racing go-cart. Otherwise they will look up the stock belt for you. It still took four hands and three attampts to get the belt onto the tensioner pulley. The grey S/C cable is connected to the valve cover to hold it in place. Next, the ECU comes off the firewall. I removed the bracket that holds the big ECU harness to the fender wall. The big connector has a shroud at the back of the connector to protect the wires. You first have to cut the tie strap that holds the top of the shroud to the harness. Then a insert a pick or tiny screwdriver blade into the front of the shroud to pop it off. This is what the side of the shroud looks like once you take it off. The tab is on the front side edge of the shroud. If you do it wrong, the tab breaks off. And here is the large harness all ready for you to crimp on the Blitz wires. Instead of crimping, we are going to cut the factory wires and solder them to the Blitz wires and follow with shrink tubing. Note the bracket mentioned earlier and where it attaches to the fender wall. BTW, it really helps to lay out all the electrical harnesses on the floor and read the instructions. Tape the ends of the bare wires with where they are supposed to go and get a good mental picture of the entire setup. This is no place to mess up.

The plastic strap you have holding the A/C line out of the way is probably better than a metal clamp. Metal can/will wear through the aluminum line due to prolonged vibration, and the line is probably over $100, plus the A/C recharge. Double up the plastic if it makes you feel better, or if you must use a metal clamp be sure to use some type of rubber padding between them. Just be sure the line is run cleanly, metal on metal is bad...
And good job listening to your brother about the soldering and shrinkwraping, he is telling you the correct way to do it. |
