If you run Toda valve springs and install the timing belt properly then it will not snap.

I have the Spoon timing belt and it is harder then stock and I'll be getting them instcok soon and the new prices for them are pretty decent.

no better than stock: how many times have ruined a timing belt?

OEM honda is the way to go because they are way more worried about the reliablity of a product on the car than Spoon ever will be

Power Enterprise belt is supposed to be 4X stronger than OEM. Very popular in Japan. Now you could assume they are all a bunch of idiots, or you could infer that there may be some merit in this...to each his/her own.

That's funny, I don't think Honda itself ever accounted for any of us putting more power down than stock.

Spoon on the other hand saw this maybe as a marketing ploy or in actuality under their own testing to find that the stock timing belt didnt cut it....when it came to a competition environment

Personally I think reliability under daily driven conditions is different than reliability under racing conditions.....or rather "tuned" conditions...

I put on a new OEM timing belt when I had my spec B's installed. If I had known about the power enterprise belt I would have used that. No problems yet with the OEM belt but I still would like a stronger one.

Question,
Do you think you could every have to strong of a belt? Could a stronger belt cause more ware on other components?

my old b16 ran for less than 5 minutes with the oem belt(brand new) and eibach valve springs..
the spoon one outlasted the motor...if your running stiff springs..pay the extra cash and get the better belt...its cheaper than replacing pistons and valves...

I'm on my third OEM timing belt in as many months, and my valves are none too happy about it.

Damn...guess my point was proven..... timing belt is critical.....somebody should make a kit for the Bseries to convert it to a timing chain!!

I'm interested in that timing belt that 4X the strenth of the stock one. Seems like stiffer valve springs/high lift cams do tax the timing belt a lot more.

My oem belt shredded teeth and bent all 16 valves on my 4000 mile motor
Toda cams and toda gears.
