yes it will work. your compression will be lower then the b16 though. you will have like 9.8xx:1 compression. so you wont be making as much power as a stock GSR, but i dont think you will loose all that much, you will probably gain some in the long run, just kinda like a 2 steps forward one step back kinda thing. you'll get more torque with the added displacement compared to a b16, but you also have less compression and less agressive cams compared to a GSR.(this is assuming that you are puting a stock b16 head on a stock gsr block, if its built then some factors would change)
and no you cant use the b16 timing belt, you need a gsr one. not sure about the waterpump, but i would assume that most complete shortblocks would come with one already.

Sorry man, but I gotta call you on this one, go to C-speed, the compression ratio turns out to be 10.6:1, nothing near 9.8 :1...

Use the GSR timing belt, and waterpump, as a rule you get the same waterpump as timing belt. The GSR block is 34mm longer, so you have to use it's timing belt.
Oh, and it's definitely worth it to get a B18c bottome end, as you will be much much happier, I have this setup my self.

I would give up the .5 in compression for another .2 liters of displacement.....
go with the GSR bottom for sure............
