Product Description

The Gates T167RB1 Racing Timing Belt is a heavy-duty, high-performance replacement timing belt designed for interference-engine 4-cyl vehicles from the late '80s through the mid-2000s. Constructed from HNBR rubber for enhanced heat and chemical resistance, and reinforced with fiberglass tensile cords and an aramid/nylon tooth jacket, this belt offers superior strength, durability, and longevity compared to standard OEM belts - making it well-suited for engines under high load or tuned for extra power.

With 153 teeth, 1457 mm length and 29 mm width, the T167RB1 matches OEM-equivalent geometry for many 2.0 L (and some 1.8 L) engines from Mitsubishi, Hyundai, Eagle, and related brands used in models like Eclipse, Talon, Galant, Lancer, Sonata, Elantra and Laser. Its reinforced construction and racing-spec materials make it an attractive choice for maintenance, timing-belt replacement cycles, or performance upgrades - especially where reliability under stress is critical.

As with all timing-system components, proper fitment depends on correct engine code, production year, and original belt specifications. Before ordering or installation, confirm your vehicle's VIN, engine size and original belt part number to ensure compatibility with this high-performance belt.
