HONDA OEM or AFTERMARKET TIMING BELT...

[HRV-80Y]

just wondering what the difference is between oem honda and aftermarket timing belt would be ?

advan. and disadvantages...

No major advantage, just stronger

Aftermarket (Toda etc) are good for higher RPMs

OEM..... unless something like toda but i don't think that would be necessary unless u have a huge amount of mods under the hood

unless you get a good aftermarket one ( which probaly cost more ) get an OEM one. there awsome. dont bother with cheeper noname ones.

origonal is always the best...
well if its unmodified that is.

I found out the hard way. 300+hp + 300+tq + too much tension = striped belt! Mine didn't break it striped the teeth right off the belt. Also make sure the belt is at the right tension, too much or too little is bad. Good news is nothing broke or bent, just had to get a new belt. I got a Toda and a Greddy to test them both out. Of course in red!
