smog pump delete

[RUNINAGT]

Don't laugh mine still has it under the hood, well I just thought a lot of ya might need to have it for emissions testing, well anyway, I want to remove mine. Do I need a bracket to go in place and just find a shorter belt? If no bracket is needed does anyone know what size belt is needed.

get the eliminator pully u can use ur same belt

 

[Uber88GT]

Shorter belt will work too, probably spend more on the pulley than the belt. It's your call!

get the pulley

 

[old_blue]

if you are going to just get rid of it then just get the shorter belt and take the pump off. there is no need for the pulley as it doesnt effect the belt routing.

 

[ROCUN]

Should be 84.5 belt if all other acc. are kept.

 

[RUNINAGT]

Well isn't the purpose of eliminating it to make a shorter route for the belt? If your gonna put a pulley in place then the same length stays. Or are ya removing it to loose weight? That thing can't weight that much.

It weighs 4 pounds at most. I just reinstalled mine not too long ago after blasting and painting it. Needed it because I was running cats.

just use a shorter belt. theres no reason use an eliminator pully unless you want to use a stock lenght belt. I used the eliminator pully when i pulled out the smog pump and plan on switching to a shorter belt soon.

Yank it and get a shorter belt.. take a string and route it around the pulleys to get your length

The smog pump siezed on my 93 recently. I went to the parts store to get short belt. 85" was too long. I did the string thing and got 75", too short. Went back again and got a 78" belt and it worked. I think a 77" belt would have worked too since the belt seems a little close together but it works. Part was 780K6.

The 93 has stock pulleys and all accessories other than the smog pump now. The 88 has underdrive pulleys and all accessories other than the smog pump and uses a 76" belt. This should have been my starting point......duh.

smog pump delete pulleys are a waste of money.. if you going to delete it then delete it and go with a shorter belt. Belt routing stays the same.

 

[Mustang5L5]

Smog delete pulleys are required for some supercharger setups. Unless ypu have a blower that requires it, just reroute the belt like above.

 

[Cobra912]

if you remove your pump your gonna have to block off the line to the back of your heads

Thanks for the routing diagram. I now see the error of my ways.

Bingo.

Just leave it on there and bypass it with a shorter belt. Everyone I know does that

Otherwise you will have to pull the heads off and buy the thermactor plugs.

 

[Mustang5L5]

You can just leave the pipe on the back of the heads disconnected, and stick a large bolt in the hose and hose clamp it. Doesn't look as clean, but it will allow you to remove the pump.

Oh and if you have cats...you don't want to remove the smog pump anyway

Keep in mind removing it will display KOER codes 44 and 94...both of which wont affect the way the car runs

+1


And if you decide to buy the stupid little computer to run into your EGR plug don't bother cause it really didn't do anything for my car.

Take off the all the smog equipment and run a short belt you do not have to pull the heads the block off the holes there are threaded the egr eliminater plug will keep the check engine light out I made a plate to block off the holes on the back of the head
