Gates used to sell Subaru timing belt kits with all OEM components at a much cheaper price than buying from the dealer. At some point, they switched to sourcing many parts from China and countries other than Japan. Customers were unhappy with this change and some reported increased failure rates. In response, Gates started selling kits ending with an “N” notation. These Gates N kits are supposed to feature all OEM components like their older offerings. Few sources had taken the time to verify if these Gates N kits were worth buying, so this video takes an in depth look at one. This particular kit is for EJ turbo models, such as the WRX, STI, Forester XT, Legacy GT, and Outback XT. I hope this video helps answer some questions. Please leave any feedback below.
