Are you using the same kind of timin belt as the water pump? If not then thats your problem. The GSR/TypeR water pumps have more teeth then the LS water pumps, so it would throw your timing off if your using a LS timing belt with a gsr water pump.

Exactly! What timing belt are you using with which water pump? I.E. If you are using the B20/B18B-A water pump then you must use the proper timing belt for those motors, if you are using the B18C/B16A water pump then you need the timing belt for those motors. You can't interchange them.

Re: (eh2666)
I have Ls/Vtec if I'm using Ls w/p and Ls T/b It wont mess with the vtec cam gears? The tooth count is what I mean. I you have to use the same w/p as the t/b how come it wont effect the cam gears teeth? Just check the set up I should stick with.
