Timing belt OEM Toyota or Continental
Reviews
I bought my 1st Toyota T100 3.4l it had 198k miles, when I removed upper timing cover, the water pump pulley FELL out, the belt was about 1/2 as wide as new. Truck ran fine!
Pros: truck ran fine
Cons: belt half as wide
Vehicle:
Toyota
Mileage: 318607 km
My in-laws Toyota is at 230k original timing belt miles.
Pros: long lifespan
Vehicle:
Toyota
Mileage: 370148 km
I ran a Continental belt on my timing belt. 30k km's, absolutely revving the snot out of the car and ragging on the car for a long time. Belt survived no problem. Appeared to be good quality
Pros: good quality, belt survived
Mileage: 30000 km
When I had mine done a year ago, independent shops were quoting $950-$1,100 while a Toyota dealer quoted $1,200.

I did mine at 100k and I selected the Continental ContiTech Pro Series Plus timing kit with plastic impeller (PP334LK1) for $245.

Mileage: 100000 km
Part number: PP334LK1

I had to change timing belt two time at year (Continental Contitech) now I have S300SX FMW twinscroll turbo running at 42psi + 220hp nitrous shoot. I didn't test it at dyno, but it surely have 750hp or more. that is why I look for better timing belt.
Pros: high horsepower, looking for better
Cons: change belt twice a year

Forget the kevlar belt, stick with the Continental belt. A search of these forums will reveal chronic problems with it.
Cons: chronic problems
