I know, OEM is best, but this one is pretty blue!!

Anyone heard of em/used em?

Thanks, sorry for the noob post.

Re: Is this timing belt shit?
 

t belts are t belts I recommend honda factory ones but so does honda what do they know

Re: Is this timing belt shit?
 

gates has never let me down short in any of the dozens of times ive used their products

Re: Is this timing belt shit?
 

i wouldnt trust e-bay crap for something as important as a timing belt. go to the dealer and get the kit. belt, tensioner, and h2o pump.

Re: Is this timing belt shit?
 

Considering how many belts Gates makes it woulden't suprize me if they make the OEM ones.

Re: Is this timing belt shit?
 

80% of the belts i install at work are gates. 29% is dayco, and 1% goodyears. Ive had yet to have 1 of any brand come back due to failure. Ive had gates on all my cars too, never failed (knock on wood). Id give it a shot, its decent priced and HAS to be better than the similar priced 'obx racing red and blue' belts and similar quality as the greddy and hks colored 'racing' belts for fractions of the price.

I run dayco/OEM honda.

Not that expensive for OEM stuff, well worth the peace of mind.

Re: Is this timing belt shit?
 

I work at honda and the t-belts i've paid attention too say gates on them ;)

Re: Is this timing belt shit?
 

Holy ---- OBX makes t-belts? What's next, SSAC belts :l

Re: Is this timing belt shit?
 

ya i heard honda sources there t belts here from gates.. plus napa sells them. cant be bad

Re: Is this timing belt shit?
 

in the explanation, it says the belts are tested at 6000rpm at 212 degrees.
how many people limit their revs to 6000 rpm?
I personally revs to 9600 rpms and my engine temps at 215, and egt temps at 1500deg
aggressive camshafts and stiiffer valve springs and high boost, so I would not want to use a best with such low ratings. I uses a OEM belt but it worries me sometimes so I am thinking of getting a greddy, I used one on my b16 setup and I was comfortable with it.

plus also said the belts are made in JAPAN but on the belts it says made in USA. too fishy.

Re: Is this timing belt shit?
 

Lol its a Gates belt they are the largest maker of Belts around i wouldnt worry about it.Buy it.

Re: Is this timing belt shit?
 

DUDE think about the amount of s2K's and ITR's that have been beaten on the track for relentless hours with stock motors. They basically rev to 9K and incredible temperatures, and i'm willing to bet they're driver harder than your car. If then don't have problems, i bet you won't either. Honda doesn't make ----, ya know?

Re: Is this timing belt shit?
 

I was talking about the gates belt from ebay, I am running a OEM right now but would like something stronger for my own peace of mind, help me sleep better

Re: Is this timing belt shit?
 

There is nothing stronger than Gates/OEM available.

Seeing as how the stress your belt undergoes isn't anything compared to the large handful of cars spinning 12K, I wouldn't worry about it.

Re: Is this timing belt shit?
 

cool thanks!
hope the $130 dollars I saved is worth it and wont bite me in the ass later. but again people were running oem belts long before greddy etc. so I am good then

Re: Is this timing belt shit?
 

i think autozone or advance auto sells gates racing t-belts.

Re: Is this timing belt shit?
 

www.autohausaz.com all the above for cheap!

Re: Is this timing belt shit?
 

I'll put in my two cents here, I have two choices that I always use when I replace my timing belts every season, along with all my friends dont dont have their own tools. I use TRUST belts and also GATES, But like I said I change mine out every season. :y

Re: Is this timing belt shit?
 

I run low CR LS engines, I replace my timing belts when they break.

Re: Is this timing belt shit?
 

I went ahead and got a greddy one, from a reputable dealer so i know i wasnt getting any ching chong meow ----...

Id say OEM is the way too, unless you want a bit of extra durability. I believe that the greddys have a bit of kevlar reinforcement...

Majestic sells the OEM one for 58 bux i believe when i was lookin.

Re: Is this timing belt shit?
 

i used them and no problems reving more than 8.500 sometimes :l
