Hey i was wondering if it okay to use a h23 AC compressor and h23 Belt on a H22? The h22 belt have 6 rib thread when the h23 on have 5 rib thread on the belt. Will it affect anything?

Just change the pulley on the H23 A/C compressor to the one on the H22 then you could use the h22 belt. I have done this my self so it works

Yeah, but how much of a PITA is it to swap the pulley on the A/C pump? Especially if he didn't remove it from the car for the swap.

I am currently running the H23 pump with my JDM H22. I reused the H23 belt and just left one of the grooves in the crank pulley and alternator empty. The H23 belt may be a little long though, you might have to go out and get a shorter version.

Good luck,

The problem... I have no h22 pulley to swap with.... and from the dealer is pretty expensive about $120 just for the h22 ac pulley. So i probably gonna try the get one less groove belt. thanks for your help

Hey,

If you use the H23 pulley then you will be fine as well. I ran that way for 3 months before swapping the H22 one in. Just use the H23 belt and you should be fine.

you can always switch the crank pulley to the H23... i did this during the swap. If you dont have one youll most likely be fine with the 5 grove belt as long as it doesnt rub.
