For an ls/vtec yes but a b16a has a much shorter deck height than the ls and b18c blocks and needs the shorter b16a and b17a timing belt.

Regardless of part number at the dealer all vtec water pumps are the same, same flow too, there is no advantage of running an itr over a b16a. The b18c1 and b18c5 timing belts are also the same. All 96+ vtec and non vtec oil pumps are the same. Also the only real difference in pre 96 ls pumps is the relief spring and shim are different. Technically you can take a pre 96 ls pump and replace the relief spring, shim and plug with a vtec pump and they flow the same, that is proven.
