I have a Question.

At the track or dyno, would you not bypass the p s pump as well?

everyone who responded to the above thread thought that the net gains from doing something like that is not worth it.

to me it sounded like a good idea tho ...

for the wonderful picture I think its an 81" belt needed for it... I could go look on my car, but not many people seem to care about just bypassing the A/C and smog... I think I squeezed an 80.5" belt on my car with the smog and A/C bypassed.

i got and 805k6 as they call it .......80.5" belt on mine with the ac and smog gone.....and underdrive pulleys....i bought a cheap belt, it slips so the next one i buy will not be cheap because they stretch......so i advise anyone who gets the short belt to buy a goodyear

I used a cheap $20 belt from Discount Autoparts for my car with the smog and a/c bypassed and its been on there for about 1/2 a year now and hasnt slipped... Its still a struggle to get it back on when I take it off.

whell, yes for the track im sure you would want p/s deleted however this is for dd. Also the reason i bypassed my smog was the pump was ****ted out, and im sure anyways you dont want to turn anything you dont have too.

I was kind of curious about the power steering too. I know for race purposes you can short belt your ac, smog and alt. but not having a manual rack are you gonna destroy anything from bypassing the power steering. I almost think that the car would not even be able to turn even when moving? I dont know just curious.

And note that the direction in which the WP turns has changed.

Yeah, the water pump turns the same direction in each of the drawing posted. I made a similar drawing a long time ago showing how to run a shortbelt bypassing the AC, PS, and smog, but the above one is better than mine. :LOL:

so in the stock config, the water pump goes one dir, but in the short belt config, it goes the other way, right? are there any issues with it spinning the "wrong" direction?

No the direction stays the same. At first it looked like it turns in the opp. direction but I was wrong.

Look at the pic I posted it will give you #'s with u/d pulleys EXCEPT it has the stock WP pulley that should give you an idea of what it might be.
