More parts arrived!
One more 1990 DSM Socketted Eprom ECU.
Here is what I ordered with regards to belts, to fit MY setup:
Power steering/WP belt:
Gates 9265 V-Belt
Alternator/WP/Crank
Gates K040390RB Blue Racing Micro-V Belt
AC/Crank belt:
Gates K040360RB Blue Racing Micro-V Belt
Heavy duty Blue top belts for the multi-rib style and a standard/HD V-belt for the power steering.
Got the belts a few weeks back and have yet to install them. I can give feedback if all goes well this season.
the Blue Top Racing belts are no longer in production according to Gates, so whatever stock they are selling is the last of it.
Get them while they last in outlying warehouses. I wanted to do some color contrast between my wrinkle black motor bits and the pulley areas.
If my fuel pressure gauge was color matched and a few other bits, it might look a littl better but for now, they are designed with newer materials and lifespan when mated to a turbocharged platform.
That's what the label says anyways ... time will tell.
From my post at galantvr4.org:

Looking to replace all three accessory belts on my engine.
Timing belt is new OEM.
My motor is a 6 bolt, GVR4 import with a C53A AC compressor (uses same as, GVR4 tensioner assembly circa 91.06.1-92.05.3).
Found the Gates Racing belts (Blue top surface) in the following flavors:
A/C - AcDelco 4K360 installed now
K040360RB (C53A length) E.L. = 917 mm
K040365RB (GVR4 length) E.L. = 928 mm
ALTERNATOR
K040390RB E.L. = 993mm
Non-Racing series Not Blue top
POWER STEERING
9265 AUTO V-BELT XL E.L. = 673mm
GVR4 specification for belts per ASA:
AC to CK = MB439336 = 920mm effective length 4PK920
ALT to WP to CK = MD187458 = 995mm effective length
PS to WP = MD178430 = 660mm effective length
Have any of you installed these belts and if so, how are they doing so far?
My motor will see mainly street use but I like the idea of a belt designed for a higher output engine.
I can go with OEM belts too.
Gates lists the belts as remaining stock only, and I have leads at my fingertips currently.
