Prelude JRSC owners or just 5th gen owners

[riptide101]

Got a quick question. I have a 94 prelude that I swapped a H22a in and then supercharged it. My question to you guys is about the belt on the black metal bracket and what parts that belt goes around. The kit, the pulleys look to fit a 6 ribbed belt. I do not have a 5th gen so I am checking to see if your crank pulley, ac compressor and alternator (and any other part this belt goes around) are also made for a 6 rib belt as mine is made for a 5 ribbed belt.

I am having a problem keeping the belt tight. I had my car dynoed and with a 5 ribbed belt and at 5500 rpms, the belt because thats the size my engine takes and it expands and screeches. The tuner says I do not have enough contact surface for the belt and that I need a 6 ribbed belt. Looking at the pullies on the brackets, they are made for a 6 rib belt.

Also, does anyone know the differences between a 4th gen and 5th gen, ac compressor, alternator, and crank pulley. Do I have the ability of swapping theses 5th gen parts to my 4th gen to line everything up and go to 6 ribbed belts. ANy info will help. Even just answering the differences in parts between the 2.

Pictures wold help some.


In the meantime, how many ribs of the pulley on the SC itself? It should be the same for the alternator or crank pulley, whichever pulley drives it.

Never mind. Seems like they went to an all serp belt setup instead.





Here is how you are suppose to tighten it:

Yeah, looking at it, the supercharger is setup for a 6 ribbed belt and all my accessories and crank have 5 ribs so it looks like I have some parts to buy. Anyone know the belt sizes for both belts that come with the kit. I don't want to get the belts from Moss Motors. I want to get better belts.

Use the part number from the kit to get the belt you want.
