I'm trying to find out which cams would be best for my set-up .
the engine is a fully built ls vtec engine , borg warner turbo 75mm with a 1.25 A/R exhaust housing. I was thinking about type R cams .

turbociv910

they cna do it.. but you can get there ALOT easier with a better set of cams.

check with evans tuning, im sure he wont steer you in the wrong direction, and he probaly has a few dyno sheets that can help you decide

AMLS4dr200whp

probably would say skunk2 pro1 would be a better choice

Doesn't anyone run Mazworx cams anymore?? I used to hear all sorts of stuff about them, but in recent years, i haven't heard hardly anything...

Cam choices at high power levels depend a lot on how much boost the engine needs to run (depends on turbo), type of manifold used, etc...

You will notice that a lot of the higher lift/duration cams gain a lot of power at mid boost levels (ie: 15-20 PSI), but the gains slowly tapers off and sometimes becomes a power loss instead at higher boost levels (25+ PSI). The engine does not want more cam when it is running under high exhaust pressures, such that when intake/exhaust pressure ratio is no longer close to 1:1 and it will do more harm than good.

Since you can make 800 WHP in a variety of ways, it really depends on the setup. If you have a turbo with really large turbine, long length runner manifold, fully ported head, big bore 2.0L, higher compression, 4" downpipe with no exhaust, etc.. You can probably make 800 WHP at much lower boost and lower exhaust pressures, versus a small 1.8L with mild headwork, ramhorn manifold, full exhaust, and a GT4094R.

With the same given reason, I am currently still running on ITR cams.

for what its worth with a b-series/gt42r setup/ gsr cams, our power band ran out @ 9200 rpms.

we switched to a differant set of cams, same everything else in the setup, the car makes power past 11,000. it also makes the same power with about 5 psi less boost.
with just that switch we gained 3 tenths and a few mph (went from 9.0@152 to 8.75@ 165 )

the mazworx cams had a better powerband on my setup than the pro-1's did

i love mazworx camz

Boosted_B_Series

I've got there V1 turbo cams in my gsr build. Haven't actually ran them yet been busy changing alot for this season.

Its good to see other people liking them though.

boostedcivicsir

but im not making 800whp. made 710 with the exh and now more with it off.

jdm knight

has anyone tried the Crower turbo cams on their set ups and are they better than the type R cams

Not many have w/ those power goals in mind.

jdm knight

what cams do you suggest i should use

jdm602

my buddys gsr hatch made 719 on itr's at like 9200-9400.

maybe some all motor stage 3 cam would get you higher if needed.

Boner_Ben

I like the sound of that Dave! I've made over 800 with gsr cams but more power with less boost sounds awesome.

dave what cams did you use?

There you are..

EARLdaSQUIRREL

skunk2 tuner 1's seem to be a great overall cam that dont put too much stress on the valvetrain yet make alot more than itr cams

locash

I'd use the Skunk2 Pro1's.. After the crappy customer service I received from Mazworx after calling them when my trans scattershield didn't fit (they said, we dont make honda parts anymore, call Innes.), I don't think I care to deal with them, they can keep on making Nissan parts. I didnt even call anyone else, I just modified the damn scattershield..

Oh, and the Sk2 Pro1's picked up almost 150hp over ITR cams at 40 psi on a 2.0l GSR.

Without giving up any secrets, I'm curious if you guys might be able to give me some general idea of what duration (at .050" or 1mm or whatever), and what lift is at the larger end of the spectrum for a large displacement big turbo build? Honestly I'm not Honda-savvy enough to know that I'm looking at the Skunk2 Pro1 (or whatever the case may be) for the right engine. . .

Thanks in advance!

Ive recently upgraded to SK2 Pro 1 over gsr and excited to see what it does on the dyno.
