if your talking about an EP3 i dont think there is a belt that can fit it. it will have to be custom i believe. there is a place in vegas (where i live) called bearing belt and chain that makes fully custom bearings belts and chains. im sure there has to be some shop that does the same around your area. or maybe you can google them and have them make you one and ship it to you. look it up... las vegas nevada, 89139 (my zip code). the place is called "bearing belt and chain"
^^ rofl yeah pretty straight forward. well let me break it down then. if you live in the USA and you have an 04 si it means you have an EP3. if you live in canada i believe the si is the same thing as a US civic ex? if you have the US civic (1.7 liter) you can buy the DX belt, which has no AC on it.

no it will not have to be custom. It' just a serpentine belt he's talking about. I don't know the exact measurement of the belt that you need, but let me check..

that belt size is used when you're using a ilder pulley and bracket from the civic si with electric power steering and wanting to elminate the ac compressor.
Are you looking to buy a used ac compressor? pm me if you are

you can also always get a piece of string and route it the way you want it. that will give you ROUGHLY a good 7-rib size belt you need for replacement til you get a new ac compressor.

I have a shop working on this exact issue right now. I told them it required a 50.5" belt and they should be able to get it at napa. They've tried several belts and none have worked. Can you give specific specs or brand and part #?
I have the exact same problem: ep3 with a seized a/c compressor.
