The fact that the J25 has two different pulleys probably means that each belt is thinner, so I doubt it would fit. And then there is the other problem: I can't find ANY information on the J25, since it was only sold in Japan for a few years, and it was the lower spec engine. I just looked up Honda J25 accessory belt and came up with nothing relevant.

I have had the 'pleasure' of driving my brother's miata with the ac/power steering belt removed. It was REALLY HARD to turn, but definitely did not have lines looped. It also had no more than 38 PSI in the tires, so that doesn't help. I may have to just go figure out how long of a belt I need to bypass P/S, loop the lines and see if I can tolerate it. If I can, assuming my parents allow it as well...
, I will rip out the pump and put some really short lines on the rack. Weight reduction, bro.
