F22B Timing Belt

[akkordlayinkit]

I got lazy in trying to find the "correct" belt, so I used a GSR/IRT belt. It works fine, but the first few days I did notice belt shavings from the belt being 2mm wider than the stock F22B belt, besides that no problems. Water pump, F22Ax w/ teg belt, H23A1 pump w/ H23 belt.

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

Yes sir I do, I thought I had it posted somewhere...maybe I just posted the spec #s off the belt instead of the entire belt #...? I dunno, but I'll go find the old belt tomorrow and post it.

hahaha...yea I ran into that same problems, several weeks worth of searching and got nowhere. I tried contacting Unitta/Gates several times and never got a reply back, all the Honda/Acura dealers couldnt help me out either...I dont know if I mentioned it or not, but I can get ahold of this one guy that said he could import the belt...but in the end its really not worth all the time, money, and trouble.

I will look for some when I go to Japan next month. Anyone here took the head off of their f22b or f20a?

[ZigenBallZ]

maybe they were still pissed over the conversation I had with them awhile back... heh heh....

i/ we are looking for a direct replacement. close enough to work is'nt the best knowledge to have in the back of your head. h23 belt is what i've got in use now. but i want oe replacement.

*sigh*

[92accordDx]

ohh my bad, see the h23 belt didnt fit for me i would be nice for a direct replacment though

'sall good. worked ok for me.

[iamanonymous]

as another said before, the h23 belt will only work if you also use the h23 water pump. waiting for (and shipping) a belt from japan seems ridiculous to me when you can replace the belt and water pump for less than $65.00. hope this helps....

[phatdoughnut]

i couldnt agree more with that guy ^^^
