I figured you high revving Type R guys might have a good answer for my question. I'm putting together a high compression B18C with some moderately wild cams (heavy duty springs/retainers) and setting things up to rev around 9000-9500. Should I just go with an oem belt or does someone make stronger ones? Any help would be greatly appreciated

PE or Toda if your a baller

 

i think im going to do toda if thats any consideration --- lasts twice as long as stock...good deal imo.

 

autozone J/k OEM should be FINE

 

We carry the Power Enterprise Belts and we personally use it on our own cars. I recommend going with the PE timing belt the extra insurance is well worth it

 

TODA belt runs $180 but damnit its worth not blowing your motor

 

Thanks for all the great replies

 

which cams?

the toda b+ spec cams are the ones known for breaking timing belts (in the US only, and when not installed by Yack ). I can't think of a timing belt breaking when used with JUN or Skunk2 cams..

 

my friend did toda cams and vavle springs, ti retainers, Ferrea valves...the whole nine yards. bought the honda oem timing belt and had it installed. he was worried about it not holding up and ordered the Tdoa for ~$180. A Week before the belt got to his house, the timing belt slipped and bent all his valves...
I know it was OT story, but i felt this might enlighten some people.
