I got a built type R bottom end, and i'm gonna be using a GSR head. What timing belt should i use? Since the head is stock, i dont need a performance t-belt right? oem will do? also, should i get one for a gsr or ITR?

 

OEM will be quite fine. If the bottom end is whats been built then the standard timing belt will be fine... even if the head was mildly built OEM would be fine

 

Yes, you can use the OEM belt, and the GS-R and ITR belts are the same exact part.

 

what about head gaskets? are they the same part as well?

Yes. The ITR and GSR bare shortblocks are the same.

 

but the heads are of a different cast. i just wanna make sure that when i go to honda tomorrow i know what to get.

True, but the head bolt holes are the same

 

You should be fine, most aftermarket headgaskets say "for B16A/B18C" Just in case, I recently picked up a headgasket for my GSR build, here's the part number on the package 12251-P30-014

 

ITR shortblock is the same as a GSR minus the internals

so having a GSR head on a ITR block would be the same a stock GSR of course minus the internals but the timing components would be the same
