ok well i'm buildind a single cam for boost. i'm looking to get somewhere inbetween 300-450hp or in the 11's. so i already built the bottom end but what i want to know is will the stock valves hold up with aftermarket springs and retainers or will i have to get aftermarket valves aswell?

h22accord101

you can run aftermarket dual springs and retainers with stock valves i have dne this my self. but wouldnt hurt to go ahead and put a good set of valves while you are there.

hatche1

does anyone sell dual springs for a single cause all the aftermarket springs i've seen for a single aren't a dual spring.

hatche1

also what would be a good cam to go with?

h22accord101

im sure they do just have to search and there alot of good cams but most people i see run the skunk 2 pro cams on there setup. i got a turboed h22 and i am running supertech dual valve springs and titanium retainers and supertech nitrial race dish valves and a skunk2 turbo cams

h22accord101

but on cam go with the skunk 2 pro 1 cam its alot better cam. they dnt even make a turbo cam anymore they run the pro1 cams i just got mine on a really good deal from a guy that never used them

h22accord101

i went on ebay and found a set of blackworks dual springs for a d16 but you can google it and may find more

hatche1

Ok cool thanks for the help

hatche1

ok so i just found out that that dual valve springs are only for the zc and a1 heads.

Red_Army

i would not use that BWR valvesprings. or BWR anything.

for the cam use a ZEX.
done.

hatche1

is kms valvesprings and retainers a good brand and exactly want zex cam should i go with?

h22accord101

yea kms are good valve springs i had a set in my old ls swap and idk anything about the black works i just seen them

h22accord101

and skunk 2 makes bigger cams like the pro 2 cams. i would run somethin more people use like skunk2 brian crower for your cam

EJ1_Can2

come one josh i thought u knew how to build engines! lol jk the skunk2 garage on ebay sells stock comp valves for 140 shipped
and i told u bisi cam or stock will work good but i agreee with h22accord the crower cams are good for turbo also

hatche1

Correction I know more about v8's then 4 banger. 4 bangers is a whole new game for me

hatche1

Welll I was looking at skunk2s website I they don't make any pro series cams for a single but I want to get a bisi cam but I wanted to see if anyone sells the same cams as bisi but for a cheaper price

h22accord101

yea thats a good cam also i figured skunk would make a sohc pro cam but idk

hatche1

ya a friend of mine had skunk2 pro series cams on his b16 and man when it was at idle it was music to my ears.

You can run stock valves. I have a all stock head with a polish, and I was making more than 300WHP on 22PSI of boost. (303WHP @ 19). So yea stock valves and stuff are fine.

h22accord101

yea they good cams

hatche1

so your running a stock cam on it aswell?

h22accord101

u can run a stock head but if you upgrade your cams some call for aftermarket valve train usually stage 1 you can use stock valve train but anything above stage 1 you have to upgrade the valve train.

Skunk2Joe

Im sorry but we never made a Pro 1 for the single cam, also the single cam camshaft itself is discontinued.

Brian crower also makes decent turbo cams and dual valvesprings

Jimster480
