Are the parts for a JDM 96-97 B18C the same as the USDM 96-97 B18C5?

For instance, is it going to be fine if I get a timing belt, water pump, etc. from the local Acura dealership saying I have a 96-97 Type R?

 

yes

 

Ok, awesome. Thanks!

And for oem tranny fluid, theres no such thing as Acura MT fluid right? You just get Honda MT fluid at a Honda stealership?

 

get honda mtf, acura is honda.

The engines are the same....only difference are the pistons

 

So I'll just get the above bottle, to be sure. Unless Honda MTF is "even better than before" also..

 

all the same stuff, different sticker, lol

 

x2

 

Haha, true.

How many quarts does the tranny take?

 

Do I have to get 3 quarts or will 2 be good? I can't remember its a little under 2 qt or a little over 2 qt.

 

I'm also trying to change all of the drive belts on the engine. I thought that there were only 2 drive belts but on the Acura parts catalog I find three:


38920-P73-013 BELT, COMPRESSOR
56992-P72-004 BELT, POWER STEERING PUMP (MITSUBOSHI)
31110-P73-A01 BELT, ALTERNATOR (MITSUBOSHI)


Do I not buy the A/C compressor belt because I am going to be using a D series compressor with the Del Sol A/C bracket?
