so far i have:

valve spring kit
titanium retainers
stage 2 cams
cam sprockets
valves

Does Skunk2 offer anything else for the Bseries engines? Is there anything else i should look at getting for my head? What about the Type R intake manifold that's made for the b18c5/b16a.....is it worth it over a stock B18c5 intake manifold? i'm lookin to get ~190-200 WHP. B18C5. Think this'll do it?

EDIT: I heard I might need a stronger timing belt than stock with these mods...who makes what I've been hearing about? Do I really need it just as a safe gaurd?

if u need a stronger timing belt i have the power enterprise one but most ppl get them if they use toda B+. havent heard any skunk owners using that YET

btw i think stock R IM is fine since the skunk unit only is maybe mildly ported i want to say?

sorry...one more thing. don't mean to sound like a dork, but I have to order the valves seperately. how many INtake and how many Exhaust valves do i need?

Jonathan_ED3

well the Skunk2 Stage 2's are basically toda B's, or so i've heard, so I was thinking i should do whatever people with the B's do. How much is that power enterprise one and where'd you get it? thanks for the response.

New valve seals are always nice.

Are the valves standard size valves or the 0.5mm+ oversize? If they are over sized you'll lose flow if you don't reconfigure your valve seats to accept the larger valves.

The stock ITR intake manifold is fine, upgrading to the Skunk2 manifold probably wouldn't make any difference, spend your money on dyno time.

WAFFLES

actually the Skunk2 stage 2 cams are identical to JUN Stage 3 cams. I have seen the numbers, but I don't know them right off the top of my head.

Jonathan_ED3

yes...new valve seals of course...i'm just trying to get the new 'metal' things figured out. I don't know about the valves...does anyone else know?all i know is this: 'valves will slightly raise compression ratio due to flat surface area. valves are CNC machined one piece EV-8 stainless steel forgings, providing excellent heat and corrosion resistance.' anyone know?
