I am looking to get a Gates Green stripe belt. I have the 3.33 upper and factory 6.78 lower. The Dayco belt seemed to stretch really fast (not sure if this is normal) ... I don't know if a 2.95 length would work either but with the 54.5" belt it only allowed a 1" of adjustment when pretty new. It is now maxed out after approx. 700 miles. Boost was at 12-13 now only 5-6psi. Thanks for any help and guidance in advance.
Did you figure out how to source a Gates green stripe belt? I also have a similar problem with a Kenne Bell 2.2L at 14-15 psi, Dayco 70" belt. Stretched to the tensioner's limit after less than 200 miles of break-in driving (fresh engine). My issue is that I just don't see where to find a Gates part number for a specific length heavy duty belt.
I have a dayco for serp belt and gates for the blower belt. I had issues with the daycos stretching quite a bit in like 50-60 miles and causing the tensioner to get out of range. I had to go really tight on the serp belt to get one that didnt stretch too much and ok so far.
I would deff advise looking into the Gates or Gatorback if you can find them
The Gates Fleetrunner Green Stripe belt is pretty solid. I'm not seeing it stretch one bit since I installed it and have been driving aggressively, breaking the engine in.
