    Default Removing airpump, need a dual belt alternator pulley

    Ok, I drive a FC3S RX7. They have an air-pump, that (on a Turbo2) pumps air to the main cat to cool it down. My cat is clogged and is about to be removed soon, so I am going to remove the air pump aswell (since it will be almost functionless, and because it makes a shitload of noise)

    So, the alternator is driven by 2 belts, one from the water pump and one from the air-pump. If I remove one, it will only be left with one. So I was told that for safety's sake, to get a dual belt alternator pully. Does anyone know where to get one from?

    Thanks

    you could do that... or go to napa and purchase a "3L220" belt.. 3/8" thick and 22inches long... You can connect the main pully and the waterpump pully with this belt.. much cheaper than a dual alt pully and has a larger belt-pully contact area than using a dual pully ...

    Yea, I read about that... the whole idea just seemed a little sketchy... but i should try it. Since it would only cost about 10$ instead of 50+$

    the only shitty thing is that to remove you have to cut it off (or atleast thats what i've read)

    I've never even been to a napa store... where is the closest one to the N.E?

    Thanks
