Performance Benefits
Upgrading to a Gates Racing timing belt provides:
- Improved belt durability at high RPM
- Better resistance to stretching
- Increased reliability for modified engines
- Enhanced performance confidence
- Reduced risk of timing-related failure
This is cheap insurance for engines people now charge absurd money for.
Custom colors provide you with a hot look. The performance speaks for itself. Wear Resistant Teeth – High saturation HNBR elastomeric composites give a contribution to the phenomenal durability and warmth resistance with aramid reinforcement.
Why This Matters
A worn timing belt can cause:
- Timing drift
- Misfires
- Engine failure
- Bent valves
And yes—B-series VTEC engines are interference motors, which means failure gets expensive immediately.
Robust Reinforced Tooth Jacket – Durable nylon fiber provides extra wear resistance, doubling tooth strength. Super Strong Tensile Cord – Added strength comes from premium, high-strength glass cords.
Perfect For
- Turbo B-series builds
- High-revving VTEC setups
- Track cars
- Street performance builds
- Timing belt service intervals
Basically, if your B18C sees VTEC often, this belt matters.
Belts are precision ground, no longer cut, so that they have compatibility the pulley with absolute perfection
