i recently installed a turbo kit on my stock b16, running 440 injectors, hondata p72, and pretty much everything else to get it running. It would start fine and drive okay, but all of a sudden when i swapped out my Type R Cams to GSR cams, the motor won't crank over. Compression test was at 30 on all cylinders. can someone help me troubleshoot this problem?

 

people were telling me that my land rings would fry first on a stock motor but i'm not sure, i want to know other peoples imput.

 

Don't worry about the ring lands. If you *just* installed the new cam and you can't get compression, then you goofed on the install.

 

so now how would i go about fixing the problem? take out the cams and redo it again? the reason why is because when i would crank the car usually the whole car would shake a little before starting, but now it just spins and spins and spins.

 

sounds like you have the cams 180 out?

Or you have to adjust the valve clearance

 

your cam timing is off. Redo it, and make sure you know where the timing marks are.

 

thanks a lot you guys. you guys were right about the timing for a fact. What i also found out i have some funky cams. The gears were up but the way how the lobes are they are just out of order. If you guys want i can post a pic and you guys can see a big difference
