Why would you want to downgrade to a 2.0, You should be thinking about swapping either a H23 or JDM F22B in your Accord.
But hey if you want to go that much JDM be me guest

Jesus Christ he's asking what parts, not why he should or should not swap an engine!
I too need this exact same info for a customer's car we have here at our shop.
We're doing belts and waterpump, seals, tune-up items, etc. - I have to know which parts to roder, especially since the drivebelts are shredded and cannot be matched up.
Thanks in advance!

I'm getting the numbers one by one as it's being torn down:
Timing belt: 14400-P14-004 - 92-96 Prelude Si w/H23A
This is the belt that was on the engine as we tore it down, and it ran when it came to us, albeit poorly.
I suspect the waterpump is a normal P0A unit from the 90-97 4 cylnder Accord, but we'll see soon for sure...
We're using the P14 T-Belt with a normal Accord waterpump, but even with the tensioner all the way out at full tension the belt has what we feel is too much slack in it.
The belt we're using is a 127 tooth belt. We've tried a 126 tooth GR-R belt, but that ****** won't stretch over.
I'm 100% about the wateroump being the normal 90-97 Accord 4 cylinder P0A unit, but this belt **** is making me wonder. The 126 is too tight, but the 127 is too loose - we've got some work to do Monday, and I'll keep you all posted.

Update:
It seems that the only choice with this engine was to use the H23A timing belt with the 22 tooth Accord 90-97 4 cylinder waterpump. You have to set the tensioner at full tight and even then the tension is not ideal.
I found a few more things out about the engine in terms of parts too:
Plug wires: 92 Prelude Si DOHC non-VTEC (H23A engine)
Valvecover gasket and plug tube seals - 92 Prelude Si DOHC (H23A engine)
Distributor cap: normal internal coil Accord like 90 or so
Rotor button: "PT2" for Accord non-VTEC 4 cylinder, like 1990
Plugs ZFR6F11, or ZFR5F11 if you cannot find the 6s.
Drive belts: 90-93 Accord 4 cylinder "PT0" type
That's about it for now. I hope that info helps someone looking for parts for his F20A DOHC non-VTEC engine.

Tom,
The timing belt from a B18C5/B18C1 is a perfect fit although I know of one person that has had a problem with it hitting the balance shaft pulley. And just to confirm, the P0A waterpump is ideal as well. The replacement distributor unit itself is one from an OBD1 H22A or H23A1 external coil or internal, whichever you prefer. Try the 94-01 VTEC Integra timing belt and see what you can do, because I know for a FACT it has the right number of teeth, it just seems as if the width is a little off. I really need to get around trying it on my DOHC F20A.
Here are the specs and p/n's for the PT2 belt if anybody over there has a contact in Japan
JDD-484
14400-PT2-0040
06141-PT2-305
A472RU24M/M
472MM length
126Teeth
24 MM Width
ACCORD, ASCOT 2.0L
PRELUDE 2.2L
F20A
F22B
Thanks to "accordlayinkit"
EDIT: I just re-read and saw that you've tried the GSR belt. That's odd, but I know that ****** will fit .

Yeah when that damn GS-R 126 tooth belt did not fit we were puzzled. We put the tensioner at full short and it still would not stretch enough to fit.
Oh well I guess.

I saw your post hope this helps
I'M NEW TO THIS BUT, I DID THE LEG WORK AND I HAVE THE DIRECT REPLACEMENT BELT FOR THE HONDA JDM F22B (14400-PT2-004 UNNITTA 126RU24)TIMING BELT. IT IS THE GATES T132 OR EQUIL. THE EASYIEST WAY TO FIND IT IS - 88 DODGE CARAVAN 2.5 T-BELT . DAYCO,GATES,GATORBACK,ECT
126 TEETH ROUND 24(15/16)
GATORBACK P/N 40132
WORKS PERFECT
1 TOOTH LESS THAN THE H23A(127RU24)
WORKS ON JDM F20A H23A(LITTLE SNUG) ALSO
