Default EFI trigger wheel conversion, which alternator belt?

What alternator belt do you use when changing the alternator setup to the 1.8 sierra one for the efi conversion? is it the same as the sierra 1.8 one? cheers

Just graba few micro v belts as you'll probably need to play around with the lengths.

Of course iv seen your conversion on another thread before and im shure you helped me out previously on some other questions Nice work by the way

Just one more question you might be able to help me with if you dont mind. When you pulled all of the mfi wiring out and spliced in the ecu loom connector how did you go about wiring on the fuel pump and injection relay? Is the pink relay on the old mfi system the only to be removed?. Iv got the two efi relays that i need to use for the conversion and iv got the right wiring diagram so do i need to get another relay holder for the other relay?

You'll need to bin the pink relay and wire in both of the other relays, so yes you will be needing another relay holder of some description.
