you might have to change from a 22 teeth water pump to a 19 tooth vis versa and i believe you have to use the gsr timing belt.

 

You ALWAYS use the belt to match the BLOCK. GSR belt is what you need. I'd double check your routing, make sure the tensioner is on right (is the one side on the little tip like it should be?). I have a GSR block with B16 head in my wife's coupe right now and the GSR belt fits perfect.

Also, DO NOT use the 19T water pump. These pumps tend to cavitate at high RPM's; that's why Honda put a 22T on it.
