I have a JDM D15b vtec and I bought VX timing belt,water pump,and tenisoner but my question is the spring for it I lost so what spring would I use for it?

IIRC the D-series springs are all the same.

You can't use the VX tensioner btw. The only one that works is the D15B Vtec tensioner. Some guys run a Z6 belt with the VX/Si tensioner. When I did mine I just kept the original tensioner, they really don't go bad very often, but inspect it when it's apart and make sure the bearing feels and sounds good.

Well dang I dont even have that any more either... I thought the vx tensioner would work its just slightly bigger. Damn... Well any leads on where I can order one or get one...

Basically I got a JDM D15B and I decided to do a headgasket and timing belt change prior to installing it... and I misplaced that stuff


Also the timing cover is there any that are interchangable? Thanks alot for the information

You can try it, but I seem to recall people saying it makes the belt too tight, or it hits against something.

D15Z1/D16Z6 both work for all the plastic timing covers on that engine.

Since you already have the tensioner at hand, might as well give it a try. I used a D15Z4 tensioner on my D15B and it was a little bigger but the timing belt fits. There is very little slack in the belt though and I had to pull the tensioner all the way down to insert the belt. 20K km now and there is still no sign of trouble.

well thank you for the help. I think I may have found the timing belt kit I need. But where I am confused slightly is it says D15B 3 stage Vtec.. where mine only has one and its OBD1

but I think this is what I need

None of the stuff in that kit will work for you.

That one should work, the timing belt is the correct VX part number.
