    got the RCM timing belt kit, cam gears, half moons, and belt guide from you guys last year. They've been doing well on my IAG Magnum build!

    Hey it would be very nice if you guys could make a video where you give tips such as with belt timing markers point. A list with common things where me as a beginner could hang for days 😂.

    Question: Are these timing kits interchangeable on the USDM AND JDM model or they carry different part numbers. Thanks.

    All the aisin timing kits for Subarus that I buy come with Mitsuboshi timing belts, and that’s a oe manufacturer. Legit stuff

    • @FlatironsTuning
      @FlatironsTuning  2 года назад +1

      Yep. They are an OE supplier for Subaru as well. We do like the Aisin kits for a lot of applications for sure. Everything you need in one box :-)

      aisin is a nice kit, the only real difference I noticed is the belt itself. the Subaru mitsuboshi belt is made in Japan while the aisin mitsuboshi belt is made in Taiwan. no clue if there is a quality difference.

    Some of us cool kids use the cast iron impeler water pump on the non oil cooler setup. Pull out the nipple that feeds water to the oil cooler and tap it and block off the feed. Then on the engine side. Use the ej255 plug. Get your self cast iron impeller water pumps

    • @FlatironsTuning

      We definitely like the cast impeller best 🙂

    Can you guys put a kit together for installing a 2015+ steering rack into a GD? I want to up date all the steering lines to braided anyways. I read 88; GLwagon inner tie rods fit the sti rack. if all I had to cut was the subframe that be great. I dont want to cut myself out of a proper alignment cause i shortened the tie rod threads. Thank you.

    • @TheZohanLohan

      If you cut the inner AND outer tie rods down there is plenty adjustment

      Buy the subframe and rack together. Yes it will mount to a GD chassis, just need longer bolts. I used Subaru head bolt. s7_impreza 🤟

      Thanks for your question. I'd say it is most likely the same as the HKS, etc. A solid choice.

    • @FlatironsTuning
      @FlatironsTuning  6 месяцев назад

      Thanks for your question. Your FA20 WRX actually has a timing chain so it is completely different from these kits.
      We do have a kit put together for your car:
      www.flatironstuning.com/fa20dit-timing-kit
      But generally, the chains just need to be inspected.

    What timing belt would you get for a high rpm build?

    • @FlatironsTuning
      @FlatironsTuning  Год назад +1

      Thanks for the question. For a high RPM build, I'd recommend the STI kevlar timing belt.
      It works the best for that application.
      www.flatironstuning.com/rcm-high-grip-tensioner-sti-timing-belt-subaru
      And for that application I would recommend the HG tensioner as well.

    Where does the oem sti belt fit in the mix

    • @FlatironsTuning
      @FlatironsTuning  2 года назад

      The OEM Subaru belt is typically either market "Subaru" or "Mitsuboshi". It would be equivalent to what comes in the Aisin kit, or the RCM OE kits (RCM uses the Subaru belt for most applications).

    • @Brett4517
      @Brett4517 2 года назад +1

      I believe you would refer to the Subaru service manual for those depending on the product you're referring to.

    • @iamchrisdammit
      @iamchrisdammit 2 года назад

      @brett Wilson I’m on the same boat. I ordered the rcm dual eccentric pulleys from flatirons and honestly didn’t make a difference. I’m still looking up info and the closes to any is iag install. It explains where they need to be set at first before you adjust. I did it how iag says. Then at the end of it all I’m still off. Belt seems tighter for sure but after the 2 spins of the engine, it falls back into where it was with oem one.

    • @FlatironsTuning
      @FlatironsTuning  2 года назад

      For that power level, I'd say something like the IAG/HKS/STI Kevlar belt would be best. A high grip tensioner as well.
      I would also recommend the Alloy Cam Gears for that power level.
      Hope that helps and all of those are available at the links in the description.

    Can seem to find the Aisin timing kid specific for 2019 Subaru STI?

    • @FlatironsTuning
      @FlatironsTuning  2 года назад

      We have them all grouped together here:
      www.flatironstuning.com/aisin-timing-belt-kit-water-pump
      We also have the RCM kits for the newer STI's here:
      www.flatironstuning.com/rcm-oem-timing-belt-kit-15-sti
      And you would just need to add a water pump with that one.
