Will B18 camshafts fit into a B16?
I don't remember if I heard or read somewhere that the B18 camshafts would fit into the b16.
Are the B18 camshafts more agressive? Would it hurt or improve proformance?

It depends on the B18. You see, Honda B-series motors fall into 2 categories. VTEC, and non-VTEC. The B16, B18C1-6 fall into the VTEC category. B18A, B fall into the non-VTEC category. Non-VTEC cams are not interchangeable with VTEC motors.
The B18C cams are more aggresive, as they are for a 1.8 liter motor. It's actually a pretty common upgrade for alot of B16 owners.
That should have answered your question. Now say hello to your new best friend:

Would there be any power gains? Or is it better off to go with the Type R. The only reason I am asking is I got my hands on some GSR cams for free.</TD></TR></TABLE>
if you have a b16a from a sir2, then i believe their the same so you probably wont see a difference(if i'm wrong some one please correct me).

Yeah I know Type R ones are a lot better. But since these are free I wanted to see if there would be any kind of gains. Since the GSR cams are more agressive than the B16 ones I have.

Sounds like I have a little project to do this weekend. Gonna swap out the B16 cams for the B18 (GSR) ones.
