I am in the process of building a b-series engine. Im almost at the point of buying a timing belt I just dont know which one. The engine is sleeved and fully built shooting for over 650+whp. I was thinking of a gates racing timing belt (the blue one), toda, or greddy. Give me some advice or opinions. Thanks.

 

oem

 

I'd most likely say OEM too, just like headgasket.

 

OEM all the way

 

For higher HP applications, for a bit more insurance, Gates is fine. I personally have Toda belts on my cars, but that's really to match the valvettain and gear set.

 

Oem ftw

 

I have used both the OEM and GReddy, cant go wrong with either.

 

Well I guess I will save some money by going with oem. I was wanting something tougher and better for my range of hp.

 

OEM honda belts are manufactured by gates

 

Okay that news is even better. I think im going to go with a gates since its blue and looks good. But if money runs short ill go with oem.

 

Yes, some are, but the compound of the material is different b/w their OEM belts, and the high tensioned ones. Please don't get that confused.

 

So is the compound in the oem one better or the performance??

 

I ran the blue gates racing belt and was very happy with it.
