What timing belt should I go with for 850-900hp
Swapped my cams for some s3's... Got a new turbo set up going on and planning to hit the dyno after... Obviously the timing belt is off. It appeared to be a NAPA timing belt? In good shape but I don't think I should run that.
So for 8-900 hp what's a good belt to use? Is oem still good for those kind of numbers? Or should I go with an aftermarket Kevlar? Does an evo 9 oem belt work? Input would be great as I wanna get one on order ASAP! Again I'm talking about for my car (evo 8) at 800+ hp... What's your guyes input or experience at this power and what u ran??? |

Kevlar belts man, Oem are nice but they aren't supportive enough plus they stretch over time.

Thanks for all of the input, I've been in the evo game for some time now. Purchased another one about a month ago, 05 fully built slappin on this 6466 and some new s3 billet cams. Like I said it had a napa timing belt on it :/ that deff has to go. But while I got the car apart it would be a good idea to have an oem belt on there, or gates herd good things on both! So the evo 9 Kevlar belt will work on my 8 right? Again I appreciate all of the input. It's good to have a place I can ask a question and not get trolled lol I want everything to be done right the first time. I've had timing go before and it's more costly than just buying the right belt for the car the first time!!!!

No, the Evo 9 has Mivec and uses a different timing belt. You can order a full timing kit from STM. ExtremePSI would also probably carry one and usually they have good pricing.
Now that I think about it, I should check mine LOL. I think I got out from Rock Auto instead. If so I'm golden. |
