A Step Up for Higher RPM and Higher Boost

This Performance Racing version of Gates' timing belt kit steps up from the standard OE-spec kit, using upgraded components built specifically to handle the higher RPM ranges and increased boost levels a modified engine puts on the timing system. A standard timing belt kit is engineered around factory power and RPM limits, and pushing well beyond those limits without a proper upgrade risks belt stretch, tensioner wear, or outright failure at exactly the wrong moment. For a genuinely built engine, this upgraded kit closes that gap. It's a straightforward improvement that's easy to appreciate once it's installed.

Everything Needed, Built for Real Performance Use

Like Gates' standard kit, this Performance Racing version bundles the belt, tensioner, idler pulleys, and water pump into one complete purchase, so there's no need to separately source and cross-reference individual part numbers. Building an engine to make real power without addressing the timing system's actual limits is a common oversight, and this kit closes that gap directly. It's the correct timing belt solution for a genuinely modified, higher-output build. That combination of durability and performance is what makes it worth the upgrade.
