What is the benifit to using gsr cams in a boosted b16?

 

nothing. another old myth...

 

are you kidding?

 

gsr cams will make more power against b16 cams, however the gains are nothing CRAZY. your best bet is to get ITR cams if you want a good upgrade.

GSR cams are way better...

 

gsr cams make a difference, but its not gonna be like woah holy crap! should be noticeable though depending on your setup

 

this is my setup:
b16a2
xtd stage 3 six puck
9lb racing flywheel
stage 2 axles
sc6152e w/ ported housing
sp log manifold
jrc intercooler
tial 38 mm w/g
3" D/P
rc 550's (for now)
RFL BOV
cp 9:1 pistons
eagle H beam rods
arp headstuds
acl bearings
cometic gasket
skunk2 intake mani
skunk2 full length exhaust
and some other smalle mods
#'s coming soon

what kind of gain do you think I would see with say 16 psi

 

GSR Cams if your on a budget and Type R cams if your not

 

not worth it unless its free, even then i dont think its worth the price/time

PM me for some deals on blox stage 1's which i will guarantee good power gains. 10-15 WHP if not more. depending on the setup.

 

So why did everyone make a big deal a afew months back about the gsr cams with adjustable gears making some great hp. Like 50whp or so???

 

so you guys would on an overall basis say its not worth the money or time for gsr cams if there only $100 and I can install them myself?

 

what kind of gains would i get at about 16 psi with my setup over b16 cams

 

ummm, i got a set of good condition gsr cams for 40 bucks, they are out there just keep looking for a few weeks.

i wouldnt be suprised if you gained over 10 hp in spots.

for 50 bucks and an hour or 2 of your time if u do the work yourself. why not(unless of course you have a few 100 bucks just burning a hole in your pocket)

 

I like my gsr cams. I definetly felt a diffrence from vtec on up but its not like woooooo. Then again im not boost just yet. But all motor with just intake and header

GSR &gt; B16 cams end of story.

I have used both.

ITR-CTR&gt;GSR&gt;B16

 

i went from b16 cams to gsr cams like a week ago and i still cant get into vtec because it detonates. And all i did was change the cams. But according to jeff evans on a 300whp motor changing from b16 to gsr cams should make 20whp. i bought my cams for 35 bux.

GSR cams are the best mod for 50 bucks, compared to bs 1st gen b16a cams

 

i have mine chillen in a box, waiting to be installed...i have heard nothing but good things about them...i'll be giving them a try really soon... any horsepower gain is better then none...i would however rather have the itr's...

 

I agree. Best mod you can get for 50 bucks. I too have a 1st gen b16. More valvetrain noise but ohh well. Clerances are good.

 

sorry to bring this back up from the dead....but i snagged a 99si head. I can get gsr cams for next to nothing from a buddy. Are the si cams any good for turbo, or just slap the gsr's in still (from a 95 gsr)

 

get the gsr's and if you have a little more cash get itr-ctr. they are not too expensive. good investment if you ask me.
