1991 Legacy NA Timing Belt kit v. Turbo Timing Belt Kit

Post by just-rust »

I am wondering about the differences between these two kits. Will all of the components in an NA kit work except for the water pump on the SS? I picked up the NA kit on accident and am wondering if I can use all of the components and just pick up a proper water pump. I have seen posts that point towards this but nothing solid enough to convince me. Any help is appreciated!

If I missed an obvious thread please post the link as well.

Found it. Just needed a little more patience.

Timing belt pulleys, cam shaft sprockets/gears, and tensioner are the same between stock turbo and NA engines from '89-94 (and some newer); water pump is specific to the ’92-94 turbo, and the ’91 turbo also has an extra port on the water pump to feed the oil cooler only on the ’91 EJ22T. The ’91 should be the same part number as the USDM WRX.

I pulled the info from this link:

Yes, that is correct.
