    Hit the nail on the head here, and that's basically what I said in my above post

    I will update this thread as soon as I hear something from the Gate Rep and post up and more info. But the belt is "suppose" to be made by September this year sometime

            When you spend on a performance build that has stronger valve springs i would not hesitate to use a stronger belt. My roller set up has 280lb open pressure thats near double standard pressure so the belt is getting a good workout.

            i would buy couple for sure

              I'm interested in one as well. Already one new 30 in my garage that needs a new belt, and maybe another one soon.

                        I spoke to them this morning, and they said it was going to ready in December.

                        They mention the company I work for Turn 14, but we only sell to shops and retailers.

                        So you'll def want to hit up Blunttech, or JSC Speed for these.

                          I change my turbo cars timing belt every 3 years/45k miles. I don't see the need for a better belt unless your just being lazy. Every built m20 has used the same belt and i don't recall a bunch of threads about prematurely snapping belts.

                            Einstein57 i have to agree with you. I just did mine for the first time. It was scary as heck cause i didnt want to mess the thing up. But i think my belt was an extreme case cause it lasted for over 80,000 miles and 8 years without snapping. My car did sit a total of 2 years in that time period. I pushed that belt to the limit.
                            Float like a cadillac sting like a Bimmer!:)

                              I don't see a need for e30s but we have them...

                                Great argument :roll:


                                The contitech belt does not just snap with people running ppf cams and making over 600whp under boost. And that belt is $12, $35 including the roller. So i find it a little difficult to understand the need for a stronger $100 belt with 0 information from the manufacturer as far as service intervals. So people are either going to ride it out hoping the belt last 2-3x longer and possibly destroying their motor in the process. Or replace the belt within the standard intervals (3 years /45k miles according to my factory trained 30 year BMW mechanic/father) which the factory belt handles just fine.
