I have a 99 gsr. Im building it up from the ground up for n/a setup. I am looking for the best cam and piston set up. Or should I say the best hp increase. I was looking at wesco pistons which would but compression up to 12.5-13. If you couls help me out it would be much appriciated thanks

 

search in the all-motor forum.

theres no "best" setup as far as cams and pistons. its up to you on what you want. street car? daily driver? drag car?

 

It's a daily driver but it's a weekend car. Just would like to go for maybe low 13's high 12's.

 

how much power do you want to make?
how much do you want to spend?
where do you want to make power?
how in depth do you want to get?
what supporting mods do you have?
what supporting mods are you willing to do?

you're asking a very broad question. there are no one size fits all "best" cams. there are many cams made for different purposes.

 

Endyn by far makes the best pistons and cams.

Everyone else basically copies Honda or sticks to the rules of thumb.

endyn's cams are basically jun3 copies.

their pistons are good though

I would like about 300 hp.
the depth of the project doesn't matter. Money well about $5000 for motor. I have a type r tranny w lsd exedy stage 2 clutch lightened flywheel. Set of ITR cams. which i will sell. I know i have to order stuff but i realize that cause i just got the car a few weeks ago. I'll go with msd, type r ecu or whatever i got to do, all bolt ons cam gears tb, intake mani pand p which will be done soon. The head will have a huge p and p bolted to a 68mm BDL th with either skunk 2 or eldelbrok untake mani.

 

rethink that power goal. you're not getting near 300hp.

 

300 hp where, at the flywheel? Good luch getting that much hp to the wheels and keeping it streetable being n/a

 

the first problem you have is getting 300whp with an all motor B series.

the second problem comes IF you can reach that goal which i will tell you right now, youre not going to. but that problem would be having it as a daily driver.

why no turbo?

Haha. I suppose you have some basis for this?

larry himself said it in an old issue of honda tuning

 

So you're saying that a company's line of products always is and never changes?

You need a bigger budget because the only way your making 300whp all motor is k20.

Your going to have to pick one or the other.
I wouldn't reccomend you build a beat all motor that is a weekend/daily driver. Either a decently quick daily or a beast weekend car.

 

ok so maybe 300 hp is to high. Ok i would like to get mid to low 13's out of it. I think i am going to have to spray but it doesn't matter. I don't want boost because it's not that reliable. Thanks for all the help

 

Boost can be very reliable if done right with quality parts and a GOOD tune

And spraying is more reliable than boost? You don't have to spray to get 13's. You can do better than that all motor.

boost is way more reliable than spray, i would never spray a motor unless i didn't care if it blew. both can be considered safe but boost is easier on the motor up to a certain point

imo the best pistons you can get are CP, cams skunk2 or toda
