HKS Fine Tune Timing Belt - RB20 RB25 RB26

HKS 24999-AN001 Fine Tune Timing Belt - RB20 RB25 RB26

This is a high strength timing belt replacement that will hold up to the task. With increased heat-resistance, durability, and flexibility. 

Previous timing belt manufacturing techniques have involved with applying pressure from the outside to the teeth. This applies tension to teeth making them weaker. By forming a mold with the correct shape of teeth to begin with, will allow the teeth shape to be formed without compromising belt strength and can decrease the belt skipping at high torque engine. 

Teeth rubber is made from H-NBR grade rubber for additional strength. 

* Necessity of Changing Balancer Belt 

The balancer is designed to reduce engine vibration by creating a vibration in the opposite direction to the engine. When used at high RPM such as on circuits, the vibration will naturally increase which causes more load on the balancer. Moreover, the balancer rotates at double speed of the crankshaft which will cause the belt to stretch at a faster rate compare to the other belts. This stretch will eventually put the balancer out of synchronization with the crankshaft, causing more vibration and then eventually the belt may break up. For this reason, HKS recommends that when the timing belt is changed, the balancer belt should also be changed with a strengthened item to allow the balancer for effective, accurate and reducing stress on the engine and chassis.
