Gates Racing: hoses and belts for tuned engines

Gates is not a performance tuning brand in the traditional sense, and that is exactly what makes it credible: it is the OEM supplier to half of the world's automakers, and its Gates Racing range applies that industrial expertise to tuned engines, forced induction engines and engines converted to alternative fuels. When your engine operates outside the conditions the original equipment was designed for, Gates Racing is where reliability begins.

Gates Barricade fuel hoses: the benchmark for E85 and ethanol

This is THE failure point that owners of ethanol-tuned cars often discover too late: stock fuel hoses are not designed for oxygenated fuels. E85, E100 or aggressive blends attack standard rubber from the inside, causing swelling, degradation and, in the worst case, a fuel leak under load. Gates Barricade hoses are built with a dedicated barrier layer, inert to alcohols and high-pressure fuels, to hold up over the long term even in modified fuel injection systems. Compatible with E85, E100, high-pressure unleaded gasoline and biofuels, they are a must as soon as you modify the fuel system.

Gates Racing reinforced timing belts: for engines that go beyond stock

A stock timing belt is calibrated for a stock engine, with its factory rpm range, torque and boost pressure. As soon as you change the ECU map, raise boost or install camshafts, the mechanical loads on the timing system change. Gates Racing reinforced timing belts are designed to absorb high-torque shocks, sustained high rpm and track conditions, using high tensile strength materials and a fiber-reinforced HNBR construction that maintains timing accuracy under load. No compromise on timing: it is what decides whether your engine stays in one piece.

Why Gates Racing at Hubshop?

Because fuel system and timing components are not areas where you cut corners. Gates is one of the few manufacturers offering a racing range backed by real OEM engineering, not marketing badging.
