Timing belt kit

[Rubent70]

Hey guys i know the rule of thumb here is to run OEM parts.
I'm not planning on running this kit very long as i will be rebuilding the engine soon, within a year or 15,000 miles.
The current belts are a little worn and i would rather not push them.
The car is completely stock no power adders at all and it will not see any abuse.
Do you guys think i will be fine running the GMB/Evergreen Timing Belt Kit and Water pump for the time being? (Its only $110)

Once again i do plan on changing it all out for much better parts after the build.
This is for a 4G64 NA Spyder

Any advice will be greatly appreciated.

You could spend an extra $20 for a Gates kit. I've used two of these exact kits on my Spyder GS, they are very nice parts.
Gates® PowerGrip® TCK230A - Timing Component Kit | O'Reilly Auto Parts

And if you really wanted to swap the water pump while your in there, you could get the GMB pump alone for around $40-45.

Throw in some Gates (or equivalent) drive belts and your looking at $200 for a reliable 60k mile setup, versus $110 for a sketchy 10-15k setup.

Thanks I really appreciate the input. I will go that route instead just incase it takes longer to get my build funds together
