how much more can i expect?
I've been thinking bout doing something to get a bit more power out of my b16a, my plan is a skunk2 stage1 cam and a apexi vafc. How much power can I expect and will the cam fit onto the future mod i wanna do, a b20/v-tec?

a b20 vtec uses the complete b16 head so whatever head work you have done, i.e. valvetrain, cams, gears, porting, etc. will all go on to the new set-up because you are using a b20 block. and the cams and VAFC wont really do that much unless you get the car tuned and have other mods as well. good luck

well i cant say how much power you will gain due to the fact that there is so much that can go wrong in tuning an vafc... but the b16 head will go onto your b20 project no prob.....

bolts up fine.
There are a lot of variables to your setup...you gotta get it tuned with your vafc , maybe grab some cam gears and throw them in right before you go have it tuned? might help a little in the long struggle for power

got a 4 into 1 headers and a intake. Won't i need some sort of fuel management once I put the b20 in. Like this I can build slowly until I find a b20 (i'm from south africa so b20 is hard 2 find)

If you get some cam gears with it and are able to decently tune your VAFC you will get approx 10 whp and about 3-4 lbs of torque to the wheels with those Skunk cams.
