the inport experts TB kits

Featured Replies

sorry...the IMPORT experts

I have seen talk on here about them on ebay

Those kits are pretty cheap!!!

I need one for 96 2.2 Legacy L...it's $76! Comes with sproket tooth idler, 2 smooth idlers and the TB idler pulley ...and T belt

 

I don't want to use that T belt tho...does anyone know if they can cutomize the kit and substitute one of those Gates racing belts they show in other kits?

 

Do they sell the plunger type tensioner?

spelling

they're so cheap that if you're concerned about it, it's still a fantastic deal to buy the kit and a Subaru OEM belt for only $59. still cheap as all get out for the entire job.

 

call them, fairly certain they will mix and match what you want.

 

both style tensioners are available but the newer style is roughly $100 more.

if it has the old plunger style, you can't use the newer type can you?

the tensioner styles are only interchangeable if you have all the bracketry that holds it.

I know that you used to be able to substitute a Dayco for not much more money.

 

And they were excited they were getting those Gates belts.

 

I call them and get the idlers and NO belt. I have a standard order for my local auto parts store for NGK plugs, Timing belt, accessory belts, water pump, exhaust gaskets everytime I do a 2.2. Valve cover sets as needed.

 

Then to the dealer for a WP gasket, cranks seal, cam seals, Orings(for 2.2's), and any other odd parts.
