alt. belt

[Harrison01]

i know some people here have changed there alt belt for the campus one.
im looking to do this but on the gsf website theres 4 dif sizes
10x1180 turbo one.
10x825
10x700 or
10x653

obviously i wanna make as much room pos for intercooler pipe work but which one do i go for.

just to add, i thought std belts where 1175 in length.? i only say this as every bit counts when you havent got much room at all between the alternator and the block.

Great question...I need to free up some room between the alt for my intercooler pipe. Could a10x825 be used with no problems?

im sure 5mm aint gonna make that much difference

you can change to campus pulley too

[phase i 16 v turbo]

Could convert to electric water pump if you want loads of room. Not done it on any of my fives but have done it on an old track car. Only a thought!

and the f7p has such an electric water pump..... dunno if i'd trust it with the complete cooling for a c1j however! lol

I bought a 1138 and 1150 alt belt and neither of them will fit!! They are both too short to get round all 3 pulleys even with the alt pushed right up!

1175 fits.

i ended up getting a small lower pulley of a campus as suggested and then got a belt from halfrauds. got an 'A1045' which worked out a treat. had to shave the alt arm down abot as the fan blades on the alt were catching.

[Harrison01]

or was it an A1145. cant remember now.
