HKS 24996-AK007 Fine Tune V-Belt 4PK895 A/C Belt for 1994-2007 Subaru Impreza GC

Vehicle Fitment

• 1994-1996 Subaru Impreza (GC8 Applied C-D / Version II-III, AWD, EJ20G 2.0L Turbocharged H4) - A/C Belt
• 1996-1998 Subaru Impreza (GC8 Applied E-F / Version IV-V, AWD, EJ20K 2.0L Turbocharged H4) - A/C Belt
• 1998-2000 Subaru Impreza (GC8 Applied G / Version VI, AWD, EJ207 2.0L Turbocharged H4) - A/C Belt
• 2000-2007 Subaru Impreza WRX STI (GDB, AWD, EJ207 2.0L Turbocharged H4) - A/C Belt
• 1995-2002 Nissan Skyline GT-R (BCNR33 / BNR34, RWD, RB26DETT 2.6L Twin-Turbo I6) - A/C Belt position when used with HKS Crank Damper Pulley P/N 24998-AK003 only

Fitment Notes

• Belt size: 4PK895 - fits the A/C compressor belt position on GC8 and GDB Impreza applications
• GC8 compatibility is for Applied C through G (Version II-VI) only - does not fit early GC8 Applied A or B variants
• Nissan Skyline GT-R fitment requires HKS Crank Damper Pulley (P/N: 24998-AK003) to be installed first - this belt does not fit R33/R34 GT-R with stock pulleys in the A/C position
• Additional HKS Fine Tune V-Belt part numbers are required for power steering and fan/alternator positions - confirm complete belt kit requirements before ordering
• Belt back face is blue with the HKS logo - colored nylon fabric used for fade resistance

Features

• EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer) construction selected for superior performance across temperature extremes and friction conditions
• High temperature durability rated at 4 times greater than OEM - designed for tuned engine bay heat levels
• Low temperature durability rated at 10 times greater than OEM - maintains flexibility during cold starts and winter conditions
• Wear and abrasion resistance improved by 30% over OEM specification
• 17% lighter than OEM equivalent belt - reduces rotating accessory drive load
• Aramid core wire material (same as OEM) provides high rigidity and reliable power transmission
• Short fiber mixture in rib rubber improves performance over previous belt designs
• Anti-sound properties reduce belt squeal under load - good friction tolerance reduces need for excess tension

Product Description

The HKS 24996-AK007 is a 4PK895 Fine Tune V-Belt designed for the A/C compressor belt position on the Subaru Impreza GC8 and GDB platforms running EJ20-series turbocharged engines. Built from EPDM rubber with an aramid core wire and a short fiber rib rubber mixture, the Fine Tune V-Belt delivers measurably better performance than OEM in every key metric - four times the high-temperature durability, ten times the low-temperature flexibility, 30% better wear resistance, and a 17% weight reduction. These improvements directly address the elevated engine bay temperatures and demanding operating cycles of modified EJ20 builds, where stock belts are more prone to premature degradation.

The blue back face with the printed HKS logo makes this belt an immediately recognizable engine bay upgrade while the colored nylon fabric resists fading over time. For Nissan Skyline GT-R R33/R34 owners, this belt fits the A/C belt position only when the HKS Crank Damper Pulley (24998-AK003) is installed - it is not a direct replacement for the stock A/C belt on the GT-R. A complete Impreza GC8/GDB belt kit will require additional HKS Fine Tune V-Belt part numbers for the power steering and alternator/fan positions.
