Hey guys! I need everyones opinion and feedback. Experience with this issue is the best. My question is that Im about to do a timing belt and water pump on my B16A2 and was wondering if theres a honest difference if i buy a T-belt from Toda or someting? And if not is there any upgrade for the T-belt, waterpump, or anything else while the motor is out? Thanks! Berg

I havent posted any pics of my car or its build yet but im going to.

 

Oem pump/belt are fine. Tension the belt correctly and you're golden. Unless your power numbers are crazy, or you're revving extremely high on a regular basis, oem will be fine. I have a toda belt on my 1.8lsvtec in preperation of going from about 200whp to hopefully 230+who in a 2.0 setup. Although plenty members have no problem utilizing oem belts in high n/a setups, I like the added insurance in a motor that revs to 9500+ rpm.
