A trainee Subaru Dealer, mate of mine, told me that some imports have different cambelts to some UK cars ?

they have more/less teeth. he backed this comment up by saying a lad that worked at the same subaru garage who owned a import WRX, not sure on year, tried 4 different belts before he found the correct one?

Is this true. I fitted a UK Impreza Cambelt to my Dads Legacy twin-turbo import and it was fine, now i want to do my MY93 WRX and don't know how to find the correct belt.

any one?

When I bought mine it was listed as fitting all classic scoobs up to version6 and had no probs fitting it to a '99.

 

Mate i'v bin fitting subaru cambelts for years and never came across an ej20 engine that needed a differant cambelt!!!!

 

bull sh)) .. in my eyes only eva known one fit all ... make sure its the right way and cam timing marks line up simple ... someone obviously didnt and got bet wrong way on rotation ... count the teeth to the nearest timing mark make sure you got it right way thats all .... oh and prob buy gates or something like, piece of mind thats all ...
