Timing Belts For Twin Cam Conversion

[[200]]

Hi,

After doing a bit of research and reading over the converson guide I have found the following belts that can be used for the RB30 conversion.

Dayco

Part Number 94407

From Mazda 323 1.7lt TD 1986-1996

152 teeth x 1" (25mm)

Can be purchased from Repco for around $40

Gates

Part Number T291

From Audi A4 1997-2000 1.8lt 4 cylinder turbo

152 teeth x 1" (25mm)

Can be purchased from Repco for around $70

NB: Part Numbers T175R from RB30 will not work as it is only 115 teeth. GTR timing belts will not work as they are 141 teeth.

There is possibly a Bosch belt that will also suit but I am unsure of the model number. There is no reason why any 152 teeth x 1" belt wouldnt suit this conversion.

Hope this helps...

I would also like a bit more info on this.

my 30det uses tensioners in the stock locations and the belt is to tight. its been ages scince i built it and I have always wanted a belt with 1 or 2 more teeth. what is everyone using with the stock tensioner locations?

thanks!
