just wondering what you guys would recommend for a timing belt

my R by the end of this month will be putting down about 250whp and a lot of torque and im at 60,500 miles

should i replace the belt now or soon since its SCed? or wait to like 80k?

oem belt or toda belt?

thanks

 

Do it man. Im gettin my jrsc on next wk, and im doin the belt at the same time...

Not worth the risk for 200 bucks or so, you gotta do it at 80k anyway, no benefit to you to wait really except you gotta drop the $ a bit sooner....

 

Weren't you gonna get rid of your R?

 

OEM belt, new water and oil pump.

i decided to keep the R, **** theives, they can pry it from my dying arms!

and the car is ALREADY supercharged and has been for like 5k miles, just wondering if i should do the oem belt or toda high power belt and whether i should do it now, or at 70-80k

 

Why not now...

You drop the money a little sooner, but wtf, thats worth the security of getting it done.

Gotta drop the $ eventually anyway...what is 10-20k more miles gonna save you in the end. Nothing.

 

Power Enterprises and Toda claim that their timing belt is more durable than the stock timing belt. Why not spring for one of those? Timing belts are one of those items that will wear and tear over time anyways.

A pro-racer in New Zealand recommended that I should change the timing belt every 10-15k miles to keep the engine at optimum running efficiency.

 

why not a greddy/trust belt?

I have friends that had experienced beyond horrible service from their customer service department. So I don't exactly like to mention or promote them in general. GReddy USA is pretty shady in general.

 

I run the PE belt with AEM gears. No problems at all. N/A though.

 

they've been more than accomodating with me and many others regarding their blue box. even helped me out selling me individual IC pipes when they really aren't supposed to. i think they are pretty darn good with customer service.
