alright im having trouble im trying to find out what timing belt to use.

b20 one is to big.
my ls vtec old one is to big.
I bought a integra gsr one and its to small

which one should I be using.

Thanks

Are you sure the GSR is too small? And what water pump do you have on there? Is it a 19 or 22 tooth?

When doing a B20VTEC you should also get a 22T VTEC water pump, and a B18C timing belt, like the GSR which you have. You are sure the GSR belt you have is for a B18C and not the old gsr that had a B17?

you have to you gsr belt, make sure the tensioner is all the way loose.

used a gsr on mine and it works fine!!!!

Natural Aspirations

LS/B20 water pump = LS/B20 timing belt
GSR/B16 water pump = GSR timing belt

Kirk@SyndromeAuto

well **** i think he got me a timing belt for a 95 gsr... cant remember but he said 1.6l **** what year should i get it from a 99?

Kirk@SyndromeAuto

no that wouldnt be right... wtf the water pump is from the b20

Pondus

Well then if the waterpump is B20, LS/B20 belt is the one.

Like it says, if you have a B20 water pump, then by a LS Integra belt (easier for the auto parts guy to understand)

I used a B16 timing belt on my b20/vtec with no problems

What ever block you using, use that timing belt. So in your case, b20/b18 timing belt.

i dont think this can be done. deck height on b20 block is taller than b16 block. u sure u didnt use a gsr?

Im sure, the timing belt was for a B16A2 from the honda dealership...

No way that would fit on a B18/B20 block, there is a 8.9mm deck height difference between those and the B16 so the belt will have to be 17.8mm longer, there's not enough adjustability on the tensioner to make that work.

the water pump also plays a role in which belt to use. as was previously stated numerous times in this thread.

Kirk@SyndromeAuto

ok i dono what water pump is on lol i just took off my b16 head and put it on a b20 block no changing anything.

i have a gsr belt supposidly but the guy said it was 1.6l which a gsr is 1.8l did i get the wrong belt.

Natural Aspirations

If you are using the stock B20 water pump YOU NEED A B20/LS BELT, did you read your own post? There was a 1.7 GSR in 92-93 that used the same belt as the B16's. Once again YOU NEED A B20 BELT

simple. count the number of teeth on the pump. 19 = non vtec = non vtec belt. 22 = vtec = vtec b18c belt

Kirk@SyndromeAuto

if i needed a b20 belt then the b20 belt i already have is SUPER BIG.. whatever ill figure it out tomorrow

Tim Faulks

So by using a b20b block and water pump...and a b16 head I would use a b18 timing belt? Did I read this thread right?

Yes. But you would be smart to spend $100, and buy a VTEC water pump. Don't by a chinese knock off either. OEM honda, PERIOD.

The B20/LS pump has less teeth (smaller pulley) and will spin faster, which isn't a good thing.

Then buy a GSR belt.

YOU CAN USE A CHEAP ONE IF ITS NOT GONA BE DRIVEN HARD, FACTORY BELT IS BEST PROBABLY
