Getting ready to replace the timing belt on my D16z6. Just curious what belts are the best?

Ive done some searching and I have heard gates make a good one..
also gates has 2 belts listed down for the 1.6 vtec just curious what the diffrence are between the 2.

to answer your question about 2 different belts for the 1.6 vtec... one is for the d16 and the other is for the b16.
 
Gates makes really good belts. I would get the better Gates belt or OEM. Come to think of it Gates supplies Honda with there timing belts on some of there newer cars.
 
OEM!!! youll never get better than OEM


^:thumbsup:

OEM was made specifically for your type of engine, Gates all those other aftermarket parts take OEM specs and duplicate the parts..

Yea!! But I am sure they didnt think people would be revin there motors to 7k+.

I just don't want a belt to break if I do decide to rip on the motor a bit. But hey I am new to the Honda world so what do I know.
