I have a 1993 sc300 that i have purchased an OBX underdrive crank pulley for on ebay. I cannot find the belt size for the new pulley. can anybody help? I have tried the search function but have not found the number yet. The pulley part number is pp10472-1 if that helps.

I'll give you the belt size... later, but take my advice now and THROW THAT PIECE OF CRAP AWAY - assuming it does not have a damper.
Shortly after I installed one on my stock 150k or so 95 SC300, all of the crankshaft to flexplate bolts rattled out, and both the front and rear main seals started leaking. There was NO noticeable difference in power, and the engine accelerated rough - more vibration.

I really don't have any other explanation. I don't see how those bolts could be fine for 150k, then suddenly decide to snap and or come lose. I know there are those who would argue that it wasn't the pulley, and to those people I say - it's not worth the money saved by not using OEM or ATI when you have to replace a motor. It's too coincidental for me and I will NEVER install one of those again.

There was a big discussion about how the pulleys that do not have a damper will mess up your motor on supra forums. Unorthodox's representative got flamed for trying to deny that their product causes damage.
