94 civic cx hatch with d16a and si tranny.
i'm planning to change my timing belt and water pump. i want to know should i go oem water pump or there's another brand that works fine as well. are GMB water pump any good? i did a search and came up with not much. what is the brand of the oem water pump? i resarch on that and found ASCO/Aisin but dont know if thats true, correct me if i'm wrong.

and do i need to change anything else when replaceing the water pump? thanks.

id go OEM water pump for sure. just the pump and belt u should be fine. maybe the timing belt tensioner if urs looks worn or whatever.

any engine mods?

no pretty much stock for now. i have another question, i have a stock intake from my cx motor(oem honda with airbox and ****) i like it cuz i dont loose pressure and dont make loud noises, i want to use it for my jdm d16a motor. i'm assumming the d16a intake tube from throttle body to air filter box is bigger than the cx. but i'm not sure, does anyone know? will anyting happen if i use the cx tube on the d16?

Once you start pricing them, you will notice the OEM pump is about the same, if not cheaper than aftermarket.
