B20 vtec timing belt

Im in the process of building b20, and have read and heard different timing belts people use, what would be the correct one to use and what tensioner also?. Im running a 22 tooth water pump.

You match the timing belt to the water pump. And ideally you want to be using the b16b/b18c timing belt and water pump. Using a b20 water pump will cause cavitation at high rpm due to it's under geared nature.

Your 22t water pump is B16/b18 so use the itr timing belt to match it.

Also look at using a new oil pump.

I use an ITR oil and water pump on my B20 and so far 80k miles hassle free(20k boosted)

I use a Greddy timing belt for a b18c, worth the extra cost as above
