You can buy a cambelt kit from import car parts

as above import car parts you wont go wrong.

is water pump required too?

I wouldn't use them tensioners/idlers. If you are going to replace them use OEM.

If i were you i would only replace the tensioner and belt. It's unlikely that at 50000 your idlers would be worn out.

When you get it done ask your friend to look at the condition of the idlers.

As for what cam belt, use a Dayco or Gates. I've heard somewhere Gates make a majority of all the cam belts out there any way! OEM ones are gates but with a big price.
