    Im putting a gsr head on it that i already have just waiting on the head bolts to come in,

    ok so here's the questions,

    1. can someone tell me exactly how i adjust the head timing (the cams) to the proper way?
    2. do i need to get a gsr water pump or can i use the b20 water pump?
    3. is there a certain type of distributor i need?
    4. i have the p28 ecu so do i need to get it chipped or is it already vtec ready? and if i do have to get it chipped, is that an easy process?
    5. what type of timing belt do i need? b20 or gsr?

    i do believe that is all the questions i need answered, any help at all would be greatly appricated.
    **im sure these sound like dumb questions, but im just wanting to make sure im doing everything right**
    and i have tried looking up the information myself but im not having any luck.

    you can either post the answers here or pm them.
    and if you really know what your doing (or have done this swap before) and live in columbus then pm so we can meet up to help me, (will pay of course)

    thanks.
    1: Unless you have adjustable cam gears and can properly degree your cams in you need them to be at 0-0. If you dont know how to do a timing belt I recommend reading up on it. or getting someone who knows how.VERY important

    2. Whatever waterpump you are getting, make sure to match the timing belt to it, IE: LS pump LS timing belt, GSR WP GSR tb

    3.B series vtec dizzy, either obd 2 or 1, can be rewired accordingly depending on what you need


    4.P28 is vtec ready, however I recommend chipping and getting a basemap to run your setup, then tuning it.

    5. see # 3

    pretty much explains it.

    with #1, he's not joking with it. you mess that up, you might end up getting a new motor.

    and i think on #5 he means look at the answer to #2. i read that didn't quite make much sense. #2 does.
