Default obx underdrive crank pulley help

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.

Did you buy it for a sc300 or just for your sc300? If it's designed specifically to fit a sc3 then it would be the same belt as stock.

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.

Please read. That damper is on there for a reason.

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.

DO NOT USE UN-DAMPNED CRANK PULLIES
On our customer cars we do, its either factory or ATI.

same here.. My car has had it for a while now and no issues.
Off topic but how does a light weight flywheel effect the engine? or would it cause any issues similar to the crank pulley?

OK, so now that you have hopefully read why you should pitch that thing... I'll give you the belt I used should you decide to not take the wise information provided here.

I show two part numbers on the belt:


6K760

ATI is an overdrive pulley so it will need to be the next size up
just ask for a factory size and tell him you need the next size up

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.
