does anyone know the belt length and/or a part number for a serpentine belt for an 05 evo with the a/c deleete??

 

same as the Evo RS. call mitsu and tell them you need a evo RS non a/c belt.

 

i have the rs but it has the ac unit in it..my compressor is shot and i'm trying to just bypass the pully for now until i can pull it out..if u know a number or a size that would be awesome

 

go to stm website they have the a/c delete belt on there

 

Here is a link to it

Or a belt from a bmw m3 2003 works

 

or you can do what i did...go to napa and ask for a 57 inch 5 rib belt. costed me 13 dollars.

 

actually i believe anything from 57-59 inches will work.

 

I have read threads on here from guys who delete the a/c, swap in a a/c delete belt and having issues with the power steering pump pulley. Im not sure if its using the wrong size belt causing stress on the pulley bearing or what. I have seen at least 4 different part numbers being thrown around while searching for threads about a non a/c belt. Anyone have experience with the STM belt listed above? I am looking to delete my a/c as well.

 

part number is gates K060578 i believe.. part transfers over to a dayco belt you can pick up at any local auto parts store

 

go to napa and get it its like under $20 bucks by gates too.. 57.5" 58" 58.5" is what you need. 57" is a lil to tight imo but it will still work.

 

5 rib belt posted above is incorrect. I didnt look closely enough until I took the old belt out and noticed that it was a 6 rib belt. I hope the length was correct. I will go to napa and see what they got.

 

Do you remove the A/C pump or just bypass it?

 

Im removing mine.

 

any benefits to unhooking the a/c and deleting it besides saving weight?
