AW11 Gates Timing Belt (1984-89 MR2)

Gates Standard & RPM Racing Timing Belts

For 1984–1989 Toyota MR2 AW11.

Overview

These Gates timing belts fit the factory 4A-GE 16V and 4A-GZE 16V Toyota MR2 AW11 applications shown below. Both Standard and RPM Racing cover the listed factory years without separate year-specific belt choices.

Standard uses HSN rubber and fiberglass tensile cords for routine replacement. RPM Racing uses heat-resistant HNBR rubber, high-strength tensile cords, and a nylon-reinforced tooth jacket for performance-oriented use. Each selection includes one belt.

Key Features

• Standard and RPM Racing choices for the same listed factory applications.
• 113 teeth and 19 mm width for either belt type.
• Standard features fiberglass tensile cords; RPM Racing uses reinforced construction for high engine speeds.
• Standard — black; RPM Racing — blue.

Which Timing Belt Should You Choose?

Standard — Best for Routine Maintenance

Choose Standard for conventional timing-belt replacement on any listed AW11 16-valve factory engine without paying for racing-oriented reinforcement.

RPM Racing — Best for Performance-Oriented Builds

Choose RPM Racing when high engine speeds are a priority and you prefer reinforced belt construction. It does not add horsepower or justify extending normal replacement intervals; performance belts may make audible noise.

Prefer HKS? The HKS Fine Tune Timing Belt is another reinforced option for supported vehicles.

Our Recommendation: Choose Standard for routine replacement or RPM Racing for performance-oriented use. Both offered belts fit the listed factory AW11 applications.
