Timing belt could also be listed as “Mitsuboshi”. I’ve ran these belts on my 520rwhp jzx100 1jzgte vvti no problems at all.
I only use Mitsuboshi brand timing belts, even on built Subarus.
I actually ordered an oem sti timing belt and have had no issues.
It was a 10 piece kit and ended up being about $195 after tax and took about 3-4 days for shipping from Japan. It was one the most common kits you see with the Mitsuboshi timing belt. No complaints, worked out great, good price for the amount of parts it contains, and everything seems to be quality Japanese aftermarket parts.
Just for reference, I just had timing belt done on my daughter’s 2011 legacy at our indy mechanic:Labor: $531 replace timing belt with front engine oil seals and water pump, idlers, tension, upper radiator hose, l inner timing coverParts: approximately $800Total approximately $1350
Just had the same work done. Same car. I paid more, and I felt like I got a good deal.
I used to always go with OEM Honda parts for timing belt and water pump jobs. But the price of the OEM parts have gotten so high that I went with [this kit] on Amazon for my last TB job on my GSR, in late 2018. Mistuboshi timing belt, NPW water pump, GMB tensioner pulley. Those are all Japanese OEM parts suppliers, so I was comfortable using them. Almost 20k miles on thost parts now and everything is working great.
My Subaru WRX timing belt parts and labor cost me $850 cash at my trusted mechanic. I'm located in Toronto. This is expensive.
I just did the same job on my 2007 forester from the dealership, paid about the same amount, maybe a little more
He had installed an OEM manufacturer Mitsuboshi timing belt, and it snapped. Apparently it was a knock off. He reinstalled the old belt. I disconnected the injector to the cylinder with a bent valve, and drove it 200 miles home, on 5 cylinders. It actually ran better when I plugged the injector back in, When I got home.
