lol, no.. on the 4g63 motor there are 3 drive belts.. like power steering, alternator and waterpump. They are driven by your crank. So it's like.. you have one belt; your timing belt which is just connected to your cam gears and crank and oil pump, and the flat side of the belt is against the belt tensioners. Your timing belt is the inner most belt sitting right beside the block, which is actually behind a metal plate. Off of your crank you have another pulley that takes drive belts (they are not toothed like the timing belt). And from this pulley you have a drive belt that goes up to your water pump. Your water pump pulley has two sides on it(inner and outer), for two drive belts. One side has another drive belt going to your alternator and power steering I believe. The other side goes to something else, I can't remember at the time. Anyways, you have to get all those drive belts off and the pulleys that the drive belts are going to before you can remove the timing belt.

Like I said that was for the 4g63 motors not the 420a motors. here is a article on the 420a, which looks a whole lot simpler. http://www.vfaq.com/mods/timingbelt-2G-NT.html

Well crap, no cam gears eh? Mostly, I just want to make sure I have all the necessary parts to safely boost my car. Yes, my car does have stock internals on a 420A and it would be ideal to build them, but for the time being, as well as my financials, I'm running low boost, i.e. 3-4psi. I read an article on a 98 GS eclipse that had a Stage II Hahn kit, and he had stock internals with an upgraded ECU, fuel set-up, cam gears, pulleys, and 3'' exhaust.
No, I haven't gotten exhaust yet... I'm waiting on my W-2, and deciding on 2.5'' or 3'' exhaust. Mainly based on cost, 2.5''=$199 and 3''=$499... both on Ebay, i.e. Apexi and Greddy. If cam gears aren't necessary, then I'm gonna skip out on them. If the same goes for pulleys, then I'll sell my Crank PUlley for $50 and go straight for my exhaust, any takers?

On one last minor note, that article... the Eclipse was yellow with a Skyline bumper (I believe R-33), and was supposedly predicted at 275hp. I want that, can someone help me with that or atleast near it within staying in the cost of $1000?

Execelon... Jeff? Hey man, I hear ya on that pulley deal and audio system. This sucks, I just bought the thing too. If there are no alternatives, someone can buy it from me, or trade me for a part, thanks.

Hahaha, yeah, I appreciate that. Between work, court, and getting my car inspected, I'll be making a visit to y'all out there. Other than that, my car's finally running straight again. The MAP sensor by-pass (little black box), it had fried and the car basically ran and stopped b'c no MAP was present. Simple solution... I left it un-attached and ran it like stock for awhile, and couldn't boost which meant very controlled driving, lol. When boost started kicking in, the car would start to bog so I had to let off the gas before it cut out again. I made a ''check valve'' line and it works great! Also, I have to leave my oil sending unit un-attached for the car to run as well... strange. If I re-connect it, the car begins to shutter. Thanks, NOel.

He's right they are also called harmonic balancers
