Default TWIN TIMING BELT CONVERSION

Jun Auto in Japan uses a twin timing belt arrangement on ther Super Lemon Impreza. By using two smaller belts the engine can rev much higher without any danger for belt failure.

Does anybody know any other tuner, other than Jun that offers this set up for sale? Jun does not.

Do you know any high powered scoobs that have had cambelt failure?

Only ones I know of were due to something else failing first (faulty cam wheels) and they were running 500+

It'snot about horsepower, it's about high revving. Yes I know a Subaru in Greece that had belt failure due to high revving and now they did this conversion and the engine revs up to 10.000 revs!!!!

I only want to go to 9.000 revs, will it be save for the t. belt (prividing that all the internals can handle this? Do you know any cars that actually rev to 9k?
