F22B Timing Belt

[akkordlayinkit]

Can someone tell me what timing belt to use on the JDM F22B DOHC engine? And before you say search; I've been searching and test fitting belts for days now.

Heres the F22B Timing Belt #'s
126 teeth-length?-24mm Width

The only suggestions that I got where:

94-99? Integra GSR- most people with the f22b swap use this one; but I got one,
126 teeth-same length as f22b belt-width 26mm
and it rubbs against the balance shaft pulley...

92-96 Prelude Si- one or two more teeth, which also says its longer lengthwise, but it has the same width-24mm

I have been to Honda, Acura, all the local part stores, and have yet to find ANY belt that will work.

Help please.

it doesnt rub. i just did this last week on huy009's swap.

Every one else used the grs/type R belt, but i used the h23 one, and it works fine

f22-dohc: Yea, it does...I checked it over and over again...it rubbs the pulley that balance belt and timing belt are both on. I should have snapped a pic while it was on...but I've already returned it.

phatdoughnut: The h23 belt has at least 1 more tooth, maybe 2, and its not too loose? Might have to retry that one...

Anyone else?

First I tried an AutoZone GSR belt, then went to Acura and the same problem...

But I think I MIGHT have found a source that will be able to hook me up with the Unitta belts...

Thought about it...but theres gotta be a good reason why Honda put it there in the first place.

Also FYI, I think I might be able to get the CORRECT belt imported here through a friends buddy...if I goes through I'll let all the F22B, F20A, F20B etc. people know.

Maybe...but you can only tighten it so much.

F22B: 472mm versus H23A: 476mm, thats a good bit of slack your going to have to take out...

Im still going for the correct belt, Unitta F22B/F20A belt; 472mm length, 126 teeth, 24mm width
