Most people tell me it depends on the tune but is it possible to break that barrier with those? So far this is my list:

11:1 CP pistons
JDM ITR camshafts
Block guard
Eagle H-Beam rods
Skunk 2/AEM/Edelbrock cam gears
ITR crank
Performer x intake manifold
RMF narrow header
RC 440 injectors
Ported head
Fuel pressure regulator
Fuel rail
Itr tb:
walbaro 255 fp
Skunk 2 valve train
Neptune chip
Stage 2 clutch

I keep getting told to get Skunk 2 pro cams or Toda but Idk how the reliability is with those cams, btw it's a GSR and I am planning to use is as a daily but want to break the 200 whp. Sorry if this has been posted before but the search is giving me a hard time. Any help or redirection is appreciated, thanks!

I also keep getting told that I should have gotten 12:1 pistons

Mcdc2

Damn can't edit my post, the motor also has 208k miles on it :x

with a tune you should be right around there maybe a few hp less maybe more it all depends on temps,dyno,motor you will just have to dyno it and see but it should in my opinion

I'm going to say NO.

Mcdc2

Would getting aftermarket cams do it? I'm kinda leaning toward the Toda vtec killer cams

bossm

excuse my post i thought you were getting cams never mind you wont hit 200whp if you dont get different cams

Mcdc2

But pistons should be alright? I really didn't want those but I couldn't pass up on the deal those CP pistons were going for.

bossm

there good piston and the compression on them is not that bad it should do for a while

Mcdc2

Any experience with aftermarket cams? This is going to be my daily and reliability has to be a must. Sorry for so many questions but this is my first build and I want everything to be done the right way and researching isn't really getting me anywhere.

bossm

well i ran the skunk2 stg 1 cams they made some nice power and it was a 130k mile motor dd making 50 miles a day

this is one of those threads where the only reply is dyno it and find out. we can say yes to make you happy though...

Mcdc2

In what engine?

bossm

b16

Mcdc2

That isn't what I want. I don't care if you say yes to make me happy I just want opinions from people that have had a similar setup or know more than I do and know what would be best to break into the 200s.

Mcdc2

Well I might just go with the Skunk 2 pro 1 cams and see how far that takes me, thanks btw

Why? The name?

They are not that aggressive when compared to some "regular VTEC" cams. The only distinct advantage "VTEC killers" have is their lightweight hollow cores and elimination of some of the valvetrain. They are intended to be used in track-only applications where the benefits of lightweight valve-motion components can be realized.

Seems very counter-productive when the car is a daily driver.

If you want an easy-to-tune cam that will easily break the 200whp mark, the original Tuner Series Skunk2 Stage 2 cams are the ones for you. Pro series camshafts have arguably the most potent primary and secondary lobes of any off-the-shelf cam which in turn creates amazing throttle response and midrange power. Top-end isn't bad either. You will need to find a decent tuner, they can be quite finicky.

skunk2 stage 2 is good if your want to make some decent power and still be able to DD,, pro'1 arnt the greatest for DD

Mcdc2

Yeah I just read about them on jhpusa. It wasn't because of the name it was because of experiences from people that have them in their setups but I didn't know if those people were using them for track only or as a daily. Thanks for the help the Skunk 2s were the ones I wanted to go with in the first lace but Idk how they were being daily driven.

wat about using an ls crank...ive been researching for mccdc2 for his build and read that it would help out but not too sure

Professor15

you can do it on the set-up posted above.

Mcdc2

How would an LS crank help more than an ITR crank?

siboi04

just wat ive read

siboi04

not sure of it

turdflo

If that's what u have been told, then it's too bad....what you should've been told is to stop wasting your money on the B, and save for a K instead.

(not being a *****...but just think about it!!)
