Skunk2 Pro2 Cams CR Required
In a B16 setup with:
Skunk2 Pro Intake MAnifold
B18C Head with OEM valves
Which compression ratio will be needed to extract the max power of a par Skunk2 Pro2 cams in a B16. Or a lighter lift cam will be enough to fill the 1600cc of air ? Thanks

Pro 2's on a 1.6 will make alot of power:
- at 9500-10k RPM
- with a VICTOR X style Manifold
- with large primaries on the EXH
- OS int. valves
Having said that, any cam will make more power with more compression, Static that is. Id suggest around 11.7:1 on pump gas w/ engine management, and that means tuneable software, not a "chip" or a VAFC.

By the way, do you know the lift of this Pro's 1 and 2 ? Thanks

11.7-12.5, kind of a wide margin for people with pump. 11.7 would probably be OK with 91 octane. 12.5, not so much.
Of course, now someone will come in and tell me "I/MY boI rAn 13:1 fO 6 yEarZ on 91 WIt n0 ProBL3mZ, dAWg!"

Lol
WOW this guy... have u ever built a motor???? and do u even know how to tune??? ok then dont speak of stuff u don't know anything about... UUUUU can run 12.5 on pump gas 91 oct.... it is all in the tuning..

You are the guy I predicted who would come here, spouting off in unintelligible writing, (see the "UUUUUU can run 12.5) stating that 12.5 on 91 octane is just fine and that its "all in the tuning". Tell me, whats all in the tuning? The need to richen the mixture and dial the timing so far back you sacrifice a bunch of power? But the fact remains that on a hot day, in traffic, youll STILL ping tipping in the throttle but never hear it over your melon-shooter exhaust?
You sir, are an idiot.

Yep. I have never built a single engine in my life. And electronic software can overcome the fuels mechanical ability to not pre-ignite before the spark plug fires.

"I just went in there & Hector is going to be running 3 Honda Civics with Spoon engines. & on top of that, he just came into Harry's & he ordered three t66 turbos with NOS & a Motec system exhaust"
Grow up buddy.

Re: Skunk2 Pro2 Cams CR Required
i have a friend who ran 13:1 on 91 octane for six whole years with no problems.........dog........

probably a 12 year old, defenatly has a comparable intellegence
all tough i would defenatly like to see the curve on a well build b16 with pro2's

Re: Skunk2 Pro2 Cams CR Required
Combustion Contraption I have read your 85x89 built. In there b18 you have used Pro2 with a PerformerX with 68mm TB. Isn't VictorX in a b16 to much ? Why have you advise that.
EXH, means Exhaust Header ?

Re: Skunk2 Pro2 Cams CR Required
Pro 2's are too much in a B16 unless you plan on doing what I said, which was a bit of an exaggeration if you read between the lines.

Re: Skunk2 Pro2 Cams CR Required
In relation at CR, high compression ratio is desirable because it allows an engine to extract more mechanical energy from a given mass of air-fuel mixture due to its higher thermal efficiency. High ratios place the available oxygen and fuel molecules into a reduced space along with the adiabatic heat of compression - causing better mixing and evaporation of the fuel droplets. Thus they allow increased power at the moment of ignition and the extraction of more useful work from that power by expanding the hot gas to a greater degree.
Howevere, higher compression ratios will make gasoline engines subject to engine knocking, also known as detonation, and this can reduce an engine's efficiency or even physically damage it.
Here, where I live, the octane rating is 95 and 98RON. So, I think 12.5:1 will not a problem. Correct me if I'm wrong.

I see you have mastered copy+paste
Since you never mentioned where you were, or what octane was available, I was responding to someone else's comment about 12.5:1 being OK, which I merely said it wasnt on 91 octane. If you arent stuck with 91, dont worry about that part.
