Belt Size?

[stangman1995gt]

Is there anyone out there that has a 94/95 gt without smog and a/c and is just running a smaller belt instead of buying the delet kits? If so what is the length of the belt? Thanks Jon

I removed my AC and Smog pump a long time ago and have replaced the belt a few times.

same for a fox?? 82.6in? I'm sure you can just go to a parts store and ask for a belt for your mustang and say it doesn't smog or AC right?

I am currently running fox accessories brackets in my 94, but I am not running a factory belt tensioner, so I cannot tell you if it is the same for a Fox. I can tell you though that using a rod tensioner (my current setup) the belt is a lot smaller than 82.6".

You can use the string trick. Use a piece of small diameter rope or string, and route it the same way you would route the belt. Put a mark where the two ends meet and measure the length of the rope. Go to the store and get two or three belts sizes close to your measurements (usually you will end up using a smaller belt than what you measure with the rope)
Return the other belt(s) afterward.

And thanks for the props on the car!

Nope, no great numbers YET. Due to a faulty manual boost controller I wasn't able to turn up the boost when dyno tuning last fall, so he had to tune on the wastegate spring which only allowed 9lbs of boost. At that setting netted 471whp and 505wtq, but the Turbo is not within its efficiency range yet at those psi. I have already installed an electronic boost controller to be able to turn up the boost to whatever gets me somewhere in between 600 to 650whp, which I am guessing should be somewhere in the neighborhood of 15-16 psi.
