I need to order a new Cam belt for the service. Which is a good one to go for? My mate mentioned a HKS one?

Cheers


Edit: For a 2003 STI

 

bttt

 

Try Rodger Clarke motorsport

 

Will do thanks

How much am I roughly looking at price wise? £20, £100 etc?

 

For a standard one I use either Gates or Dayco - Both are fine

If you want an 'upgraded' one i would recommend a Power Enterprise Kevlar belt - Speak to Mark at Lateral Performance, as he keeps these in stock.

 

Cool, will check the upgraded one our cheers.

 

Is it a "EJ20" type I need to order?

 

EJ20 is the base engine type for ALL 2.0 Imprezas:- 8 valve, 16 valve single cam, and 16 valve twin cam, and 16 valve siamese cam [ 99 on ] and all turbos.

ALL cam belts are made by Gates, which is a subsidiary of Good Year [ or at least it was, 'til the business world fell apart this year ]

Just ask anyone on here for a turbo cam belt, you'll get the right one. £48.00 + post + VAT from me.

Kevlar is OK if you need one, but being as strong as it is, I would not recommend it on road car that does lots of miles, as they tend to wear away the gear teeth on the cam pulleys [ especially so the plastic ones ] and come next cam belt change, you'll need new gears too.

Rubber is fine.
