Gates T215RB RPM Blue Racing Timing Belt 143-Tooth Toyota Supra Lexus GS300

Vehicle Fitment

• 1993-1998 Toyota Supra (3.0L I6 - 2JZ-GE NA, 2JZ-GTE Turbo) - Cam Belt
• 1992-2000 Lexus SC300 (3.0L I6 - 2JZ-GE) - Cam Belt
• 1993-2005 Lexus GS300 (3.0L I6 - 2JZ-GE) - Cam Belt
• 2001-2005 Lexus IS300 (3.0L I6 - 2JZ-GE) - Cam Belt

Fitment Notes

• Fits both naturally aspirated (2JZ-GE) and turbocharged (2JZ-GTE) variants of the Toyota 3.0L inline-six - the same belt is used across all 2JZ engine configurations
• This is the high-performance RPM "Blue" timing belt - the standard OE-equivalent replacement is Gates T215; the T215RB is the upgraded version for higher horsepower, modified, or high-revving applications

Features

• Gates RPM High Performance "Blue" timing belt - up to 300% stronger than standard aftermarket timing belts
• Specially formulated HNBR (Hydrogenated Nitrile Butadiene Rubber) compound provides up to 3x the heat resistance of conventional timing belts
• Belt tooth jacket reinforced with aramid fiber and high-performance nylon cover - minimizes wear and doubles tooth shear strength
• High-strength fiberglass tensile cords for maximum dimensional stability and load resistance under high-boost or high-revving conditions
• Superior construction reduces the risk of belt skip and catastrophic engine damage - especially important on the interference-design 2JZ engines
• Curvilinear (Type II) tooth profile for precise cam timing engagement and reduced noise
• Installs identically to the OEM belt - no modifications required; signature blue color for easy visual identification during inspection

Product Description

The Gates T215RB is the RPM High Performance "Blue" timing belt for Toyota's legendary 2JZ inline-six engine family - covering the 1993-1998 Toyota Supra (both 2JZ-GE and 2JZ-GTE), 1992-2000 Lexus SC300, 1993-2005 Lexus GS300, and 2001-2005 Lexus IS300. The same 143-tooth belt is used across all 2JZ variants regardless of forced induction, making this a single part number for the entire platform.

Unlike the standard Gates T215 (OE-equivalent), the T215RB is built with HNBR compound, aramid-reinforced teeth, and fiberglass tensile cords, making it up to 300% stronger and three times more heat-resistant than conventional timing belts. This makes it the preferred replacement for stock Supra, GS300, and IS300 owners who want improved peace of mind, and the go-to choice for modified or turbocharged 2JZ builds running elevated boost or higher redlines. Both 2JZ-GE and 2JZ-GTE are interference engines - a belt failure means catastrophic piston-to-valve contact. The T215RB's enhanced strength provides a meaningful safety margin in high-output applications. Gates recommends replacing the timing belt tensioner, idler, and water pump at the same time as the belt.
