will a gsr timing belt, water pump, and tensioner fit on a b18b? even tho the part numbers are different?
......also will a b16a timing belt, water pump, and tensioner work on a b18b?
someone says all b series is interchangeable and is selling what i need. thanks for any help

any b series will work, not sure about the tensioner though

i think the difference is going to be with vtec and non vtec. because i know the type r/gsr has more teeth on the water pump then a ls one. so with that you're going to need the corrasponding timing belt and tensioner. correct me if i'm wrong but i know there's a difference. good luck with this

The belt has to match the water pump for sure, I don't think the tensioner matters but don't quote me on that one.

95 LS parts will work

use the ls parts. the vtec parts are different besides the tensioner.

Yes the vtec parts are different, but they will work just fine. The 22 tooth gsr water pump is better than the ls. GSR water pump, use GSR belt. LS water pump, use LS belt. B16 belt won't work, different block height.

This is correct. The VTEC water pump is better because the pump turns slightly slower, which pumps the fluid through better (less possibility of cavitation).
