b20v with b16 w/p?

[clumsy_smurf]

in need of a new water pump. i researched but everyones telling me to run a gsr or type r pump because of the b20vtec setup. my buddy has a brand new pump with a gates timing belt. would this work on my motor?

[RBS]

if he has a GSR/ITR waterpump and GSR/ITR belt, then yes it will work. remember to replace your tensioner

i wouldn't use anything but oem water pump and timing belt
when ever u doing lsv or b20v u have to use gsr water pump and timing belt
there isnt such thing as in typer oil pump and water pump just lettting you know

[RBS]

nothing wrong with autozone water pump and timing belts, its not like hes making oh so much power to wreak havoc on the trusty autozone goodies :rolleyes:

Nothing wrong with Gates belts...

Like said above B18c1/5 pumps are what ya need. OEM

[NOCLUE]

agree

[clumsy_smurf]

ok, i was just asking since my friend has a brand new b16 pump he was gonna give me plus a belt

[Starrfire]

b16 water pump is the same as a gsr one.

[clumsy_smurf]

so the b16 pump is a 22 tooth pump? i just wanna make sure all this before i put it on and something messes up. idk

I was gonna say make sure you get the one with the right amount of teeth. The water pump and something else needs to have the right combination of teeth.
