JDM D15b vtec head/D16y8 block: What timing belt do I use?

I've searched on google and many other sites and can't find an answer to my odd ball question. I have a JDM D15b vtec that I'm taking the head off of and putting it on a D16y8 block and I don't know what timing belt to use on it.
Should I use the one off the D15b or a D16Z6 timing belt? The block will have a D16z6 crank in it if that matters any.

Y7/Y8 belt will work, 104 teeth, Z6 should work too but has a different part number for some reason, same number of teeth though.

Alright thanks guys, I was reading a little and I think the y7/y8 is different because the water pump is different so I have to find out if it has a y7/y8 or z6 water pump.
