Now just to install it

[chugiboi]

if you're installing it yourself then good luck with the mess you'll have to go through, but will be worth it after it's finish though.

here's the installation info, just in case you want some heads up.

Dump the manual tensioner and use the stock autotensioner, just figure out the belt size WELL worth it!!!

[FatSacSi]

Yeah I think I will go with the stock tensioner

[LiL Sang]

Finally, someone purchased a JSRC!!! Let me know how it goes!

[FatSacSi]

Rev belt provided with the kit wont work with the stock tensioner?

[MutantCheese]

in like flynn

[Highrev1]

I dunno...I would install then string the pulleys and measure the belt size needed..The tensioner included WILL cause belt slip at high rpm's...

[TeamValorRacing]

^not only will it cause a belt slip, but in many cases i have personally witness a belt break...over 6 times on the same damn car. their tensioner is absolute garbage and should be avoided at all costs.

but the charger itself is a good charger.

the vhishu<-sp? on the other hand.............dont even get me started. lol

I agree the stock tensioner is better but it cant be used with this set up theres just no space for it. (i know there is an RSX that did it though but there was heavy modification necesary.)

[Highrev1]

Sure it can...in its stock form.

[xxmstajxx]

ewww...that SC is so ugly and worthless.....COMPTECH looks better and has a better ECU Upgrade, no hanging wires.

ohhh... never heard of that... you got a link.

BTW, are you guys still making a SC for the FG SI?

63" or 62.5" belt I forget.. Lemme find the info. Its a larger idler pulley that helps with belt wrap.

So this is with the A2 pulley so it would need to be tested for our CP...

Belt = Dayco # 5060620 (6 Rib, 62") $23.49
Crank Pulley = Honda K20A2 part # 13810-PRB-A01 $104.99
Idler Pulley = Dayco "No Slack" 100mm x 30mm part # 89026 $29.96

(Note: When you remove the idler pulley from your stock tensioner you'll use the bearing sleave that your stock idler has in it. Just pop it out and place it in the new one. Don't use the concave dust cap. It's not going to fit and the guy at Napa said the bearings are fine without it.)

This setup is as tight a belt as you'll get where the indicator on the tensioner is aligned perfectly and has zero belt slip
