ooh he does a 180 now AMAZING!!
wow its not so stupid...

hi
i was curious about why they used timing belts at one stage when chains dont break
i foudn this on a website

The main advantages in utilizing a timing belt as opposed to a chain is that there are fewer moving parts, less weight, no need to lubricate anything in the belt area and less noise

hope it helps

:rolleyes: you dik

kb, soooo, you are a hypocrit.

without giving us any details it IS a stupid question.
According to what bumography said it sounds like a belt can be more reliable than a chain when replaced on a regular maintainance shcedule.

Toda, etc make high strength belts to replace to stock ones for sustained high RPM operation. you'd have to ask them about how often they should be changed though.

If you don't want to give detail on your engine say you are thinking about modding your car and will a stock timing belt hold when you get a fully sick 13k rpm enging like that b20 crvtec james was talking about a while ago =p

oo this thread is getting out of control =]

Yea i think a simple answer would have saved the hassel, regardless if people think its a stupid question or not, obviously kev asked it for a reason and came to OH as an avenue of finding information..

What does a chain belt look like?

IBTL :D

(BTW - the answer is: no, because it is too hard to convert a belt driven engine to a chain driven engine)

see what you guys have done - this poor guy thinks that there is such as thing as a "chain belt" :thumbdwn:

Hahaha to be honest yea, i never heard of it before so im totally lost =]

SR20DE's also use a chain as opposed to a belt.

Remember you cannot just change to a chain. You will also have to change your cam gears, waterpump, tensioner and so on.

Much easier to get a TODA timing belt :)

PS: No more off topic replies or this gets locked (as the Q has pretty much been answered)
