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.

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?

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.

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

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

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

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