which cam upgrade would be best for a stock block b16a2 w/ comptech ice box, aebs im, jdm 4-1, 2.5" exhaust. i think that the following cams would do well with the 10.2:1 cr but which one you guys think would be better for daily driven power.

USDM Integra Type-R
Blox Type A
Buddy Club Spec 3+
Skunk2 Stage 1
Rocket Motorsports M21

the cams will also be used in conjunction with rocket motorsports gen1 valve springs/retainers and tuned by hondata

what do you guys think?

 

cmon guys, just need some suggestions or advice. i've heard the buddy club 3's are really good stock compression street cam.

 

the itr or ctr cams since your motor is bone *** stockplus your going to need other stuff if u want to take full potential of any cams. like header exhaust intake

 

my bad i guess i should of read your post a little better. forget about the header and stuff

 

Blox Racing tuner series type-a is what we suggest for your stock block b16a2. Get them now for $535.00 w/free ups ground shipping. http://www.trackspeedracing.com Thanks

the bc spec 3+ are some sick cams and give good power.

 

I kinda' like my Skunk2 Stage 1's.

Although to see some real good gains with these cams, you need a method of raising the rev limiter.

The Skunk2 Stage 1's are pretty much a CTR cam with a good bit more top end.

 

CTR Intake cam for near stock B16.

Spend the rest of your money on SMSP header.

 

CTR cams, cam gears, AFPR, FP gauge and VAFC. That will atleast make you tunable and for cheap, I think its always best to start there.

 

bump

 

prolly some CTR cams, or skunk2 stage 1, or even the 2's depending on what your goals are.

 

I heard the skunk2 cams r good for the b16 set up, but let us know how it goes either way... ill be shoppin for cams soon also

 

With the stock compression, CTR's should do the trick nicely. Consider bumping up the compression via a thin headgasket and/or high compression valves before seriously considering any of the other listed options.

 

it looks like the ctr cam(s) is what everyone is choosing.

 

The Rm M21's are a turbo cam, so I wouldn't do those. The nice thing about the ctr is for 1, you have the reliability...they are going to idle and act as if the motor is stock and will give you good gas mileage. For 2, they won't wear out. You can buy a set of used type r cams and have the confidence that they aren't flat or have wear. 3, you can always re-sell them for what you paid for them. Since they are a OEM camshaft, people know that they are still "good" and that they aren't abused or whatever. 4, you don't need to change your factory valvetrain. Assuming you keep your stock rev-limiter, you can run these cams right now...plug and play! Both of my roomates have installed type r cams in there stock B16's and it HONESTLY made a huge difference. People assume that they are weak because they are o.e., but Honda knows what they are doing..........they get down!

 

Skunk2 Stage 1 in this b16a2 for the last 45K and they were used when I bought them for $400. I still get 34mpg. Stock valvetrain.

 

hi everyone. i don't mean to jack up your thread but what if i have a ported head, ommi power valve train(springs, valvles, ti retainers) and with CTR pistons(0.25 OS) in a B16A2, will BC III+ better than the CTR ones.

also IHE upgrade is there plus a lightened flywheel.

mayn thanks

 

rocket said just to upgrade the intake cam. would this be enough or would you guys recommend both intake and exhaust cam? is the ctr exhaust cam almost the same as the b16a2 cam?

 

im a big fan of BC spec 3's. Nothing but good things!

 

CTR exhaust cam - 235 duration, 10.5 lift

B16 exhaust - 216, 9.63
