So i was wondering what is all needed to change the timing belt and is it neccesary to change the water pump too? or what will happen if i dont?

 

I think its a good idea to change the water pump. Your already there, why put it off and do twice the work just to temporarily save $150 lol.

 

I plan on doing timing belt, balance shaft belt, water pump, tensioner, and all other pulleys.

 

oh okay well i just ordered my timing belt. where can i get the water pump and tensioner for a good price?

 

change it. i debated it myself, but after a little bit of reading i thought its best to spend more money and have peace of mind. i'll be doing the timing belt this summer stm has a really nice oem 60k service kit with belts, pulleys, water pump, and so on.

 

idk about the pullies tho i never replaced those on any of my cars, iam only replacing the timing belt, balance belt, water pump, serpintine belt.

 

this is the kit i will be getting. hope this clarifies things.

Holly Molly the water pump is 250$, I thought it would be like $70-100 lol

would that be okay to put on?

 

ur car your money. i just had my 60k done, OEM mitsubishi parts. why? because it lasted 60k miles and now hopefully another 60k. its kinda sketchy going with generic brands when it comes to things like timing, i mean, if it fails, you'll have a blown motor. i'm not saying i have experience in using such, but i dont think the savings justifies the potential rebuilt motor price if the belt teeth's fail early...

u should change the pump, you are already in there doing it. why go thru the hassle of doing it again if it leaks 1k mile later after you did the belt?

 

okay, so is those belts and the water pump good on that ebay website?

will this pump fit on evo 9?

 

only if that ebay pump is oem. dont cheap out on this service.

 

There are hundreds of threads that ask the same question you have. Do it once, and do it right. I've changed my timing belt/water pump 2 years ago with aftermarket parts and have had no problems with them. This year the service is due again, and if I don't have the $ to go with all oem parts, I might substitute a few things with GATES parts.

My main point is, change every single part and all the pulleys, even the one behind the power steering pump. If you're like me, I'd rather have the piece of mind that I don't have do take everything apart and do it again. Here are a couple of helpful tools:

and let me add that you DO NOT need this part if you are changing out the timing belt tensioner (the most important part in the kit aside from the timing belt itself):
