you can use a 920mm 6groove belt or a 36 inch 6groove belt maybe even 35
remove compressor put a bypass pulley in its place replace belt
probably
There is an available bypass kit, but the belt is the same. You remove the ac compressor and install an idler pulley.
Unfortunately the Taurus needs the AC Pulley to turn the water pump you CAN get a bypass pully for 30 bux and use the same belt and routing but the shorter no AC belt will not work on that engine
if you can reroute the belt to bypass the ac compressor all you need to work out is how much shorter the belt is that you would require
No, Have a look at the way the belt is. You cant just get a shorter belt and bypass the AC compressor as the belt would foul on the tensioner. u need a AC bypass pulley and bracket, and so far, i can only find these genuine
In Short Yes Did it on my own 01 civic Just need to get different belt for the alternator
The serpentine should route the same as with the AC except fro the AC compressor. The belt will go straight past the compressor, so you will need a shorter belt to make the bypass work.
There is no timing belt in a 1997 Nissan Maxima, any model
Size 6PK1675 does the trick
No you can not bypass the ac pulley but you can by a bypass pulley at the part store for about 40$. I just got one for my 2006 ford taurus the ac pump locked up and burned my belt it can take a while to put on but its worth it if you dont mind not having your ac working.
Other then finding a belt the right size, I don't see a problem.
