Started The Fitting........

[CIJ]

Well i finally decided as it was a nice day i would put the lexus out and start fitting the charger. Well after a few hours and scratched hands the Cooler n charger with the pipework are fitted. So now i only have the airbox, which looks like a bitch to fit as theres a reservoir stuck behind it also the charger belt as guess what.......it wasnt in the box when i bought it (or it may have been but the fairys in the loft have moved it) so anyone know where i can get one from?? then theres the ECU to wire up.......mmhhmmmmm......but i do seem to have a few bits left over in the box ooohh nooooo!!!!

As all knows what they look like i any uploaded any pics....sorry...but it seems quite easy to fit so far lol

the belt u need can be brought from a euro car parts shop as is the same as a alfa 147 fan belt. but only one year of it i think? the size of which is a 800 pk or something like that. sure someone else can confirm the belt size

[Rabster]

where did you get the kit from ...

the air box is fairly easy once you move the resevoir lol and it does just bolt stright on

You have to remove the reservoir Chris, you should have got the parts to do this with the kit ? belt is pk5 800 :D

[CIJ]

I got the kit ages ago mate, over a year i think!! But off eBay :D

Thats the bit im not lookin forward too dont want to spill any!! i see the airbox looks easy enough lol

[CIJ]

Erm the guy i bought it off never recieved it when he bought it. Its just a T-piece aint it??? So the belt price is??

[Rob's Lexx]

u can use some narrow bore silicon tubing as i did on mine mate for the clutch relocation kit - or use the part that was supplied if you have it??

belts are about 8 quid from camsill IIRC or 25 from prolex!!!

[CIJ]

Gord is it just pk5 800 or pk5 800HD??

[sparkystav]

im going to fit 5pk 796 tommarow its got 803 now.

[Rob]

im going to fit 5pk 796 tommarow its got 803 now.

why?

[Tom-18]

I have a Clutch Relocation kit im not using as i have a Induction kit, you can get the 5PK 800 belt from most motor factors.... euro car parts, Halfords places like that!! think mine was £20 if that? but i got a 790 as they had no 800 in stock still fits!!

I also have an old airbox cover that has a hole in it to fit around the clutch fluid bottle?? I just covered it with tape until i got the induction kit! if your gonna go down the same route i have the cover here! worked fine....

The "800" number in something like 5PK800 refers to the number of teeth in the belt, doesn't it ? i.e. the belt size ?

If that's right, then presumably something with slightly more or slightly less teeth (e.g. 803/790) will still be ok but will just need to be adjusted slightly differently to make it fit (e.g. 803 is longer so the pulley will have to be moved outwards slightly to make it tight enough, and the reverse of that for a smaller belt).

Is that right or have I missed something ?

Yep Stevie, 800 is how long the belt is, 5 is the teeth the belt has :D

[Steviewevie]

Ah ok thanks Gord. So it's a ribbed belt (ribs along the length of the belt) rather than being toothed like the cam belt ?

[Tom-18]

yep thats right

Yep mate, ribbed and not like the cam belt :D

[Steviewevie]

Thanks guys. Isn't there something about the pulley having 6 grooves but the belt only having 5, and you needing to sit the belt on the right grooves ? Can't remember if this is the front 5 grooves or the rear-most 5.

Yes mate you have the belt sitting in the front 5 grooves on the supercharger pully leaving an empty at the back :)

[Steviewevie]

What do you want pics of exactly ? I don't have a charger myself (dream on !) but I'm sure someone else will be able to help.
