Default I dont know what the ultimate kit involves

but you need

timing belt
relay roller
tensioning roller
hydraulic tensioner

its also good to do the
thermostat
water pump
ribbed belts
at the same time to get it out of the way.

Default I dont see hydraulic tensioner mentioned

and that is the part you should be the most concerned about.

Default All the ECS UTB kits come with the tensioner.

you should purchase the following to be thorough:

Timing Belt
OEM Tensioner Roller
OEM Tensioner w/small roller
Water Pump With gasket
Thermostat with O-ring
A/C Belt
P/S Belt
Water Pump Belt
OEM/Pentosin Antifreeze

Another good place to buy all this is:<ul><li><a href="http://www.germanautoparts.com/">GermanAutoParts</a></li></ul>

Default make sure you get the right parts
