Did you use the green or 100% blue routing with the 81in. belt? I want to run a short belt to bypass my smog pump, but I don't want to run the waterpump backwards like the blue line does.

you cant run the water pump backwards, all the pulleys go the same way, they are just stating which way the water pump spins on that diagram, it can only go one way which is counter clockwise. also did anyone else do this notice there car getting idle surge more?

I ran it 100% the blue way and it does surge a little at idle and I have stalled a couple times.

You are right. I was about to throw up a bunch of to you!

Thanks for the clarification!

Did you guys block off the smog tube at the h-pipe? Maybe exhaust is coming through the smog tube and doing something wierd?

That's the only thing I could think of.

All of my smog stuff is gone. O/R H-Pipe is blocked. Make sure your vacuum is blocked as well !! If you remove everything of course. I think it's pink. Just stick a small nail in there with some silicone. That could cause your surge for sure.

Same here. But I am not going to run this belt everyday. I live in AZ. It's like a 110 here. I might use it in the winter. And I might buy another belt that bypasses the powersteering for the track.

Sorry I assumed you were taking everything off. If you do remove the whole air pump stuff, you'll have to block that pink vacuum. But I think you're keeping yours so dont worry about the vacuum, I'd say.

It's a 3way vacuum. Attached to it, there's a RED, GREEN and PINK. The red goes through the elbow near the fuel pressure regulator, the green is for the EGR and the pink for the smog pump.

No I am keeping everything so I don't have to worry about it. If I ever got a another car and this became my weekend car I would take it all out.
