i looked all over here and zilvia.net forumsthis is for a nonhicas pump
the belt i had on before is for a hicas pump that is about 36.5" in circumference and has 3 guides on it
the belt i am looking for is shorter and has 2 guides on it
the guy who sold me the non-hicas pump supposedly sent me the belt, too.its been over a week and i need my power steering back!

Re: need rb20det ps belt # (neonbomb)
Bro I was in your shoes few months back.Looked high and low and could not find the right belt.
I must of went through about 6 different belts but all ended up being ether too short or too long, from various parts stores.
And on top of this every where you go they ask for what vehicle , I always after I give out info, 1993 Nissan Skyline, and their like what I dont see this in the computer. And I always say yeah because it was never sold in US. their like well I dont know I cant help you. People working at parts stores are like weird. They dont want to use their brain to do simple search and compare.
Anyway, I think all RB20DET's came with HICAS, or at least R32's, but thats not important nor do I care. You probably have pump from no HICAS R33 RB25, like mine. And I guess that RB20 crank pulley is different size than RB25.
****here is the info you need if you dont want to read my b/s above***Okay to make long story short, here is the only belt I found to work for my set up RB20DET with non-HICAS pump (my crank has 4 grooves and pump pulley has 3 grooves).
Brand:- DAYCOType:- Poly COGNumber:- 5030335Where:- Local Pepboys
I would take picture of the cardboard package it was in but I must of have discarded it all ready, numbers are directly from the belt as it sits on car.
this is the only place that had the belt in this length think it was 33.5" or 33-1/2 (how ever you like to write it) in length think 34" or 33-3/4" belts would work too but this is the only one I had available to my rough guess estimate.
When I installed it, it was a little tight ( I didn't force it on, just gave more effort to install over pulley), once it got over the pulley it was loose/free(when in grooves), so I had to give it some adjustment on the tensioner, not a lot.
This belt looks funny, its a cog style has small squares on the side that rides against the pulleys.
It has fallen off only once, but that was due to what I found out later to be my steering rack problem. Not my P/S pump, but any way got ride of the HICAS pump was leaking from the caped-off bolt any way cant complaint. Now at least I ahve a spare .
Well I'm done talking B/s.
If you find better belt like Gates or Bondo or even Goodyear, let me know part number and update here with your results.
I know there are better belts out there in length and rib size and design, but you have to order online and have it shipped. This is the only belt I know that works and you can get in parts store locally when your in a jam.
Well my 2cents, giving back to community that has given me so much, posting numbers would have done fine too I guess
**PS***, I might of have confused the ribs, I dont remember nor correctly but you might be right. Think P/S pump has only 2 ribs and 3 grooves, so a 3 grove belt is needed. From what I posted above your belt would be 4 grooves. But from what you mentioned above 36.5"(this is the measurement I came up with when I first went to get new belt, but it ended up being too long) and part number I gave you is for 3 grooved belt which is what you need for 2 rib pulley. I hope I didnt confuse you, but this info for belt should be 100% on the money.
And according to RockAuto this fits (serpentine belt)
SCION XA (2003 - 2006)SCION XB (2003 - 2006)TOYOTA ECHO (2000 - 2005)TOYOTA PRIUS (2004 - 2008)TOYOTA PRIUS TOURING (2007 - 2008)
They have it for $9.44+S/H, if you dont find it at store or dont mind waiting.
