Subaru factory service manual calls for timing belt replacement at 105,000 miles. The EJ20 and EJ25 engine featured in the Subaru WRX and STI is a full interference motor meaning that if the timing belt brakes the valves can and often will hit both the pistons and each other causing catastrophic engine damage. The easiest way to prevent this type of failure is to use a top quality timing belt like the Gates Racing belt and replace it at the designated factory service interval. On high performance motors we recommend replacing your timing belt every 80k miles to prevent issues.

Constructed of HNBR Elastomeric composites, these belts provide up to three times the heat resistance, and feature teeth reinforced with Aramid and nylon fiber to minimize wear.
