I did a search for timing belt and came up with a lot of topics, but there wasn't much on what timing belt to get, just mostly problems about the timing belt. So.. i made this thread.
My questions is what timing belt should i go with? OEM? or Aftermarket? I need something that's going to be reliable, cant afford for something to go wrong. I was looking into this belt http://www.boomplustoys.net/pwrent_engine.shtml anyone got any idea if these are any good?

Btw.. it's going on a B16A2.

 

OEM

PE or Toda.

 

what happend?

 

Blue belt

 

OEM Honda.....last longer....and of course...it fits!

 

PE or Toda as well. I got the Toda, no problems! Looks tight, and the belt smells like a new pair of shoes when you first pull it out of the box.

What happened? nothing.. just going to be changing to some more aggresive ones(01 ITR cams, w/ Spoon Gen 2 gears), and so; while i'm in there.. i might aswell change the timing belt and water pump.

 

OEM Honda is suggested. I'm running a dayco from advance autoparts and its been fine

 

Leaning towards the PE...

So even if you raise the red line above what stock is the OE belt will still be sufficient? Wouldn't want the motor to fail at a critical moment b/c of a belt problem

Gonna go with OEM then. thanks

 

Yes the OEM timing belt will take the punishment. But since you're also installing a new water pump, I wouldn't just jump right in and gun it and rev real high for a little while. That way the new parts can get broken in. Know what I'm sayin'?

Yah. I'm planning on driving it around for probably a good 50-100 miles before i get it tuned (which will require to rev high).
