Default vtec-nonvtec cam gears question

can you guys please tell me if the vtec cam gears and the non vtec cam gears have the same amount of teeth? are the timing belts the same for vtec n non vtec? im asking this because im ready to change timing belt on my 92 teg non vtec and i looked at my cam gears and it has "pr3" etched on them perpendicular to the "up" sign. to my knowledge, pr3 is vtec and my motor is pr4. is that normal? i dont know what the last owner of the car did to the motor. so are all b18 timing belts the same vtec or non vtec?

thank you in advance for your help and inputs

all bseries gears are the same. the belts between a ls motor and a gsr and b16a are different.

If I'm not mistaken, I don't think the PR3 cam gears came on LS motors, only the first gen B16a. They all work though, my buddy got his 2000 Si stolen and they took his cam gears, he's now running LS cam sprockets. Just the belts differ in length.
