hey guys. i had an 18g greddy turbo kit. . . but now i'm selling it to go all motor! i haven't even used the turbo yet, lol!

anyway. just felt that was necessary to say
right now, i'm running a b18c1 in a eg coupe, intake, exhaust, header, p28 chipped ecu, vafc, exedy stage 1 clutch, stock axles, stock pistons, stock gsr trans, etc.

anyway. . . i was planning on building my motor. i was looking into cam set ups, but now i'm just wondering on a few things. i'm planning on getting a skunk2 stage 2 cam setup (266 @ 12.3mm intake / 262 @ 11.8mm exhaust) . along with this, i was planning on getting skunk2 valves, valvesprings, cam gears, and retainers. is this overkill? i know i shouldn't be using oversized valves, but i don't know if the skunk2 valves would be oversized, since it is made from skunk2. are retainers even necessary? i read somewhere that with the cams, itr valves would work well, or port flow would work just as well. does it matter?

these are pretty much closely paired to jun stage 3 cams, but they're much cheaper and are very reliable as well, according to stupid reviews

anyway, any help that could point me to the right direction would be great. thanks in advance.

 

bump for help

 

the valve springs and retainers are pretty much mandatory, because im assuming you will bump up the rev limit according to dyno results. valves are your choice. my crew runs these cams with stock valves, and some buy aftermarket valves to gain a little more compression. as for cam gears, how will you be tuning the car? Also IMO you shouly look into throwing some ITR pistons in the bottom end to get more power out of these cams. Good luck with your build.

 

thanks.
well i may do a stage 1 skunk2 set up, but i still can't find out which valvesprings / retainers to use. i've read that skunk2 valve springs and retainers aren't the best quality out there that can go with s2, but i've never read what matches well with quality.

i'm also going with a street port and polish, skunk2 cam gears, and a regular dyno tune over at speedquest or top setup.

i don't think i'll go pistons because it's too expensive and i'm kind of limited with my budget right now.

 

ill be runing supertech valves,valves springs & retainers wit skunk pro2s ....skunk2 good cams but not soo good springs ext.
