Thank you, I'm browsing this forum for 2 years now, lot of information here :) I saw that the VF500 belt-o-ceptor is 70hp with a 8mm pitch belt but I don't know the width but I believe 36mm, maybe less, I'd like to have more informations about this conversion. I may have a little bit of chance also with 14mm pitch 25t front 65t rear but it would be really really tight. I need to take serious measures to be sure that it could fit. Also 25t is small for a 14mm pitch belt, it would probably reduce the lifetime but I can deal with it. Edit : Ok 65 tooth is too big for the rear ... There exists a 61 tooth that can fit but 61/25 is a too long reduction to be reasonably usable except if I can go for shorter front pulley (22t) but I have some doubt and it will be custom manufactured . So my last chance is the 8mm pitch, it exists in 50mm wide, a little bit weak regarding Gates tables but should be ok.

I know I'm coming LOOOOONG time after the battle (after the war?) but I am myself highly interested about converting my RC46D to belt drive. I didn't see in this discussion a word about using a 31T or 32T front pulley? I know it would probably not fit but with some drilling it could ... For my personal project I am more looking at 8mm pitch 36mm wide belts. the 32T front and 90T rear with 220T belt _should_ fit if I'm right in my measurement and it look likes RCD Engineering is selling everything that I need. My question is will it be strong enough? The maximum power (let say 110hp) is achieved in first gear at 10500rpm. The primary reduction is 1.939 and the first gear reduction is 2.846 so the 110hp are achieved at 1896rpm. Considering Gates tables I should go for a 53T front pulley or a 62mm wide belt .... What do you think? Am I wrong somewhere, is there no clue to unchain any VFR? Maybe the 62mm wide belt could fit?

So finally is there a way to do this electrically I'm interested by having a switch to disable the VTEC when I'm on track with my Viffer.
