need a timming belt for the talon not sure if I should trust this timming belt set

No tensioner and no idler pully. The mitsu timing belt alone is like $90... I wouldn't trust it without pics. I like to know that the parts I'm buying came straight from mitsu. I'd say pass on it. Rebuilding a head 6 mos from now will be a lot more than the right parts now.

damn I knew it was too good to be.....good

OEM Mitsubishi parts from the dealer are the fail-safe way to go.

you mean from satan

Satan? I prefer, my fellow peers at the Mitsubishi dealership. If you're lucky, you've got a nice parts manager at the local Mitsu dealership. Start ordering $300 worth of parts at a time and he might give you a 15% discount like I've got. After my experience in the world of parts, dealerships (including Mitsubishi) really aren't that overpriced for what you get. Most big ticket items, engines, transmissions, and ECUs, are pretty high priced but when it comes to gaskets, pulleys, and belts, they are pretty economical.

I have never had an good dealings with a dealership.

There are a lot of dealers that are shitty... I think you found the exception Brett!! We ought to set up a DSMCentral discount with them... defiantely sell a lot of parts with this group!!!

group buy

I had found one for $90.00 awhile back.

there's a vendor offering 30% off all OEM evo parts on evolutionm.net right now, this would include timing belts. There's no reason not to buy the right parts the first time.

I'd talk to tyler.. spooled91.... he works for 'satan' in peoria... I've never had a problem with him.. and i've always known him to go above and beyond the call of duty.

I totally forgot he worked there! Very good guy!!

Try JNZ Tuning. theyre the guys from Conocelli Mitsubishi.
Mitsu parts for very cheap, thats where I got all my timing belt stuff from.

you have to email or call them for a price but its well worth it.

Agreed. Tyler will take good care of you.

i can get Contitech t-belt kit for cheap... they make OEM parts and oem quailty parts for manufactuers... id say its better than that ebay shit... and its same quailty as oem or even better? pm me if your intrested. I can get an oem headgasket set as well... from the manufactuer that makes it for the dealership and puts the sticker on it... not to make it sound all weird... but i use some of it on my honda too... just like all car manufactuers... the get to choose what company makes what for them... and obviously i found a company that gets the parts from the manufactuer that makes the oem parts for many car manufacters... lol

ok let take price out of this, what would be the best choice? again I'm not conncerned with price ust the quality of the part.

IMO, OE for things like belts and tensioners is the best you can get.

As far as the headgasket goes, if I were replacing the headgasket, I wouldn't bother putting a stock one back on for what the 4-layer costs. It's only about 30 bucks more and it's plenty more reliable (up to 25psi from what Slowboy says).

so oe would be better than say a greddy kevlar belt.

Meh, why would you buy a Greddy? IMO, it's dumping more money into an area where it doesn't need it. Stock timing belts were made to stand up to the task at hand, keeping sh!t together. Change it every 30-40k and there's no need to worry. I wouldn't trust a Greddy to last longer than that anyway so why bother.

Let me ask you this, what pro drag racers do you see using a Greddy or aftermarket timing belt? Zero that I can think of.

not sure what they run.

I don't see anything about a Greddy timing belt on Sheps or Darryl's car.
