Newbie to to forced Induction
Hi all
Done the NA thing so wanna try FI
I have an EK4 civic with a B16A6 South African model
I wanna use
LS pistons
eBay turbo kit AC compatible
So according to a search my cams should be the same as the usdm 99si civic
@1mm
Intake 240 10.7 lift
Exhaust 227 9.4 lift
Integra GS-R
Int-230 dur. / 10.6mm lift
Exh-227 dur. / 9.4mm lift
Integra Type-R Pre '99 Spec
Int-240 dur. / 11.5mm lift
Exh-235 dur. / 10.5mm lift
Civic Type-R And Integra Type-R
Int-243 dur. / 11.5mm lift
Exh-235 dur. / 10.5mm lift
Skunk2 Stage 1
Int-252 dur. / 11.6mm lift
Exh-249 dur. / 10.8mm lift
Skunk2 Turbo
Int-230 dur. / 9.7mm lift
Exh-225 dur. / 8.9mm lift
So did comp calculation on net and setup should get me a 8:61
Read an article saying when choosing a turbo cam look for one that has shorter duration a 6 degree difference in duration between the intake and exhaust and also a lower lift is also advised as to prevent heat build up
So here is my choices from top to bottom
Skunk2 turbo cams
96-98 ITR cams
CTR cams
GSR cams
Btw I will be using a t3/t4 turbo
So do you guys agree with the info and cams that I have listed here

Re: Newbie to to forced Induction
why using ls pistons and not buy new 10-1 forged pistons to use em in stock sleeves? You didnt mention about Rods. are you gonna keep stock? piston and rods are cheap for b16, and worth the money spent.
ebay kit yes, chineese turbo no. better buy the parts needed split from ebay.
if you realy wanna use LS pistons and stock rods, there is no point at changing camshafts... the b16a6 cams are ok for your application untill 11-1 CR.
