JDM EJ20G Gates Timing belt.... which one?
I looked up on the website from Gates and I saw 2 different timing belts available for my engine...one was the T277 standard belt, the other was the T328RB racing belt... I would prefer the second choice but wanted to know which is the one that the emgine needs incase of some kind of issue(s).
Thanks. |

277 and 328 are the same. 328 has the Gates Blue belt option (328RB) that is 1mm wider.

Semi-grave bump, but for clarification on the JDM EJ20's, are all the tensioners, idlers, water pump and seals the same across the board as well?
I'm trying to piece together a timing belt kit for my install, but I've been reading a bunch of different information. Last edited by iRomey; 05-02-2013 at 06:54 AM. |

I just bought the Gates TCK277 kit for the 1996 2.5L DOHC Legacy. It has the older style tensioner pulley (which mine has, 1993 WRX). All the pulleys are the same and the belt is the exact same size with the marks in all the correct places.
I also used a thermo/water pump from 02 WRX, it fit perfectly. Last edited by NewWRXMike; 04-30-2013 at 01:07 AM. |

you can use any timing belt and any tensioner. you can intermix whatever you'd like.
order the tensioner from a ej22e and the belt from a 02 wrx |

I used the blue 328RB on my ej20g and I used the old style tensioner as I heard it is more reliable.

Don't forget to do the waterpump, thermostat and crank seal at the same time. Get some clamps to hold the timing gears in place too, that's what took me the longest, the timing gears kept slipping after I set them.
