Re:D16Z6 block, D16A6 head.....which timing belt?
Incase anybody still cares, I swapped the tensioner from my ZC over and it worked. I'm assuming the A6 tensioner is the same size as the ZC because it's a bit larger than the Z6 tensioner. After chatting with Jeff on AIM last night and counting teeth on every motor we have, Jeff found a guy on Honda-Tech(also a member here)ComputerJLT who did the same swap I did and he told me exactly what to do. 
The shitbox runs!
Thanks for all the help.

My Un-mini-me Used a A6 head with a B2 timing belt, until I warped the A6 head due to over heating ( busted a radiator hose ). Now I use a D15B2 head and timing belt.
Un-mini-me ownz !!! Its seen 15+ psi a few times, but never any knock... I can fully advance the timing on the dizzy and it doesn't knock ( I just leave it around stock though ).
Full boost by 3000rpms, 6psi at 2700rpms with a WRX turbo with a 50-trim compressor and 15 degree clipped turbine wheel....

Does anybody know how many teeth are on a B8 belt?

8.4/1 with a A6 head gasket. Still running 10-13psi on mine after more than 6 months, but less than one year ( I think ) of boost.
Its been nothing but great to me.
I can run motor to motor against LS-1 powered Trans-ams, 6-speed and autos !! And that's with 1 1/2 inch stock cat-back, and stock clutch on 9.5psi !!
Hopefully I'll get to race them again tonight with the new 6-puck clutch, 13psi, and open 3'' exhuast !!!

PLEASE Dr. tell me what you did. Did you have to grind the hole out on the tensioner to fit, because i had to for the a6 tensioner. And when you used the a6 belt was it half a tooth off, did you have to grind about a 1/16" off of the motor mount and about an 1/8 off the block. I am doing the same swap n it has been such a pain in the ***.
