The timing belts should be the same...With the manifold upgrade and the bigger TB I would really look into some cams! Other wise that stuff is really kind of pointless.

Nope. I hope I caught this thread in time. You need a B18C timing belt. A B16 WILL NOT fit. Its too short.

But I agree with the notion about the cams. Youve got the whole motor apart... you might as well. At the very least, throw in some ITR cams and ITR springs. For about $500 if you search around, you could get some big cams, springs, and retainers.
