im looking at this option as my 06 evo 9 has about 110k miles so i think im way due for some mew timing belt and water pump? anybody know where i can get the 9 water pump for a good price as i think the gmb pump in this thread wont fit my 9?

and any other input on peeps that installed all these belts pulletys and pumps having no problems?

 

This list is awesome man. And def do your timing belt now, its due every 60k.

As for the water pump use the gates waterpump listed here. I also have a evo 9 and used all the parts listed here.

Use rockauto.com it's super cheap I paid like under $200 for all the parts here

 

It says the gates timing belt doesn't fit my IX?



Also any confirm this part number? It says it'll fit.

 

Anyone know if there is a significant difference between the regular gates timing belt and oem. I going to be changing my belts when I install my s2 cams and want to see if there gulag black gates timing belt is just as reliable.

 

MD156604 is this part number this Gates Idler Pulley - T42017 ?

My tuner said to get the OEM 9 timing belt even for the 8s. As they have Kevlar.

The idler pulley I ordered from STM. I couldn't find it on rock auto.

Otherwise this is a more complete kit than anyone one offers. It saved me alot of money over kits and over $900 from the stealership.

 

Looking at 450-600$ for parts. Anyone know if the 270$ price is still good?

 

I did it off Amazon and paid 240 $ couple months ago.

 

Nice! That is what Josh at Emphasis Co here in ABQ NM said. However, he is unable to put a warrenty on Amazon parts. :-(. Should I still get the parts and just install on my own?

 

Way better than a grand a the dealership! thanks!

 

Long time Mitsubishi guy and I've always used Mitsubishi parts without any problems.

I'm thinking of using all gates stuff (minus tensioner) for my IX.

Now that this list has been posted for awhile, can some of you report on the long term reliability of gates timing components?

Also, is the standard gates t-belt made of Kevlar like the OEM IX belt?

 

Anyone with long term experience?

 

Anyone have a link for a DIY on this? Thanks.

 

6 months, 6,000 mi with gates components without issue. Thumbs up!
