I'm going to be picking up a b16 head for an LS/VTEC setup. I have a turbo setup waiting to go on the car too. The head will be ported/polished, multiangle valve job, upgraded spings, retainers, and valves but I havent decided on which cam would be best for a turbo LS/VTEC setup yet. Two sources from two different local shops where I'm located both reccommended GSR cams for a turbo. They said the grind is almost identical to CROWER's turbo cam.

so here's questions......

IS a GSR cam an adaquete cam for turbo? Why or why not? If not, which would be the best for the application.

Other Info: The block will be built as well, with JE pistons 10:1 compression, and eagle rods. If that helps any.

 

I should probably give some turbo specs too.

It's a t3/t4e .57 trim

 

i am running GSR cams in my b16 head. I was told that those cams and adjustable cam gears can yeuild you up to 50 whp over stock geared b16 cams

 

either one of the cams would be fine for you turbo setup b16 or b18c1

 

I thought you could only use Cam Gears with aftermarket cams??

 

negative,

stock B16 at 10psi i made a little over 230hp 160ish trq

GSR cams and STR cam gears i put down 290hp and 200 trq at 9.5 psi



dyno graph was a lot smoother too (i'll see if i can find them)

 

yeah please do if you could....what are your cam settings?

 

I'm using GSR's in the b16 head, and AEM cam gears I'm at about 350whp conservative tune cam gears set to zero...

 

Stock B16 cams at 10psi



GSR cams and STR cam gears at 9.5 psi (not sure about the settings, each set up will be different

 

damn the cams and the gears DID make good hp

 

was that second graph for the same b16

 

yep, both were my car

stock B16, stock intake manifold, stock tb. Only thing changed was the GSR cams and STR gears.

And i switched from a Hondata S200B to Neptune, but i don't know that allowed any more power or not, i doubt it made that much of a difference

 

LostSol whats your setup?

Damn Im switching my stock b16 cams to ITR's

I knew it made a difference, but not that much

 

Stock B16, GSR cams, STR gears, ProFab intake manifold gasket

InlinePro SS manifold
T3/To4E .57 trim .63 A/R
PWR intercooler
2.5'' piping
3'' DP and exhaust
Tial 38mm WG
RC 550cc injectors
Walbro 255hp intank
Neptune

that's pretty much the basics, if you have any more questions about it shoot me a pm
