i was wondering becuase i have an b16a that used to be automatic....and i heard the automatic cams are less agressive.....so my friend was some b18c cams laying around and im thinking of getting them....what are the pros and cons of putting the cams in the b16

 

my cousin did this when his brother blow a hole in his b18c1 block. he swaped out the b18c1 cams over to his b16. from what i can remember, he could feel a slight difference. had a little bit more toruqe in the low and mid, but the top felt the same. never had a chance to dyno it, so i can't give you numbers. so, it'll be fine.

 

As far as I know performance will decrease with b18 cams...

 

wats a good reasnable price for them?

 

no the b18c1 gsr cams are slightly more agressive then the b16a cams so there is an increase. all vtec b18 cams are more agressive then the b16a cams.

 

bump

 

If I remember correctly, I sold my jdm GSR cams and valvetrain for either $100 or $150.

 

that seems reasonable

 

power will not decrease it will increase,
but not alot

 

I don't see the point in going through all that for a marginal increase. I would go with skunk2 stage 1's or type r cams...

 

im trying to keep it stock for now...its my DD i just want a little more out of it

 

anyone else?

 

I'm pretty sure we're talking like 3hp or something like that. You only get like 5hp out of skunk2 cams without a tune and right around ten with a tune, with the stage 1's that is.

 

it will work cus then the motor hits 9000 rpm
cus one of my boys did it to his b16a nd he gave me the motor
i got the motor on my 95 eg5 vtec hits @ 4000rpm nd it passes 9000rpm
when i race it

 

Gsr cams only worth around $50.00 today on the used market, don't pay anymore than that. But typeR cams is much better for both N/A and boost, They sell for around $150.00 to $350.00 use, do not pay to much for them because you can get Skunk2 for a little more and more aggressive with warranty...and better performance all around...

Good luck....

 

theirs no difference from the b18c and the b18c1 cams right? besides one being usdm and one jdm...

 

jdm motors naturally have aggressive cams.
